The world’s most-anticipated smartphone, the iPhone 5, was launched in India on Friday to grand customer reception, with its prohibitive price-tag hardly deterring die hard Apple fans. The iPhone5 is available in three memory sizes — 16 GB, 32 GB and 64GB — priced in inida at rs 45,500, 52,500 and Rs. 59,500, respectively.
Prebooked 150,000 Apple iphones units over the past one month across India speaks volumes about the enthusiasm for its latest product.
The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch retina display and is around 20% lighter than the previous version.
“We had ordered 20,000 units of iPhone5 and all these will go to customers who have prebooked,” an Apple store manager said. He added that from Sunday onwards, the iPhone5 would be available off the shelf.
This time, the Apple phone is not being bundled with a telecom service offer and is available across retail stores.
