Confused to purchase iPhone NOW!?

Considering the fact that apple will soon start assembling phones in India, i am in a confusion whether to buy it in India or get it from USA. Even though they drop prices, i dont think that the prices are going to be anywhere closer to whats it is in USA now. I need a suggestion or opinion on how you feel or would you have reacted to the situation. Since its a BIG and one time investment, also a dream of owning an apple product, what are the things i should consider before making any decision?

Govt has not accepted demands of Apple: Nirmala Sitharama

Let's wait for official announcement of Apple to open manufacturing plant in India.

Even if manufacturing plants are developed in India, it's going to take years for the products to actually flush in the Indian market. That is not an ideal reason to wait for. Are you planning to buy the latest (7 or 7 plus) or older model?

Now thats a problem. If it starts manufacturing iPhone 7 in India(which is not going to happen), then ill go for the same. If not iPhone SE would be my choice. I dont want to buy iPhone 6s because, by paying little more, i can get iPhone 7(latest one).

Why don't you go for Samsung or some other Android device? (Don't want to start Android vs SHITpple discussion here)

Well then you are mistaken my friend. Android is the best when it comes down to customization. Check S8 before wasting your money. Wish you the best.

To each its own,no point trying to prove superiority of android viz-a-viz iOS.Both have proven their good points which is evident in both of them having millions of customers.Now no more off-topic posts.

Bro i have been using Sony Xperia Tipo and then Asus Zenfone 5 and Xiaomi RN3. Enough of android. I made this thready specifically for iPhone. I have a dream to own an Apple iPhone. It's not that i want android or think of advantages of Android over ios.

^^User Experience?Now don't go on debating that point too as that is a proven point with millions of satisfied customers of Apple products(& not just iPhone).

P.S.I don't own any Apple product btw & use an android phone.

Thank you guys. I purchased iPhone SE 64GB. Just loving it.

Here they told me if i had HDFC Credit Card i would get 3000 Cashback. But i didn't have one. So costed 30k. But still just love it. Smooth, charges pretty much quickly, doesn't get hot. Neat and organised interface. Got complementary tampered glass and transparent rubber case.

PS: Touch behaves wierdly due to tampered glass.

[MENTION=166916]theterminator[/MENTION] never mind, FK was selling it at 31k...64GB variant wasn't under the offer. You've got it at nice price point! [MENTION=55665]IronCruz[/MENTION] I don't think Apple products require any kind of screen protection. I own Ipad and Ipod touch for past 3-4 years, without screen protection, and didn't get a single scratch on the screens. I guess they do something different with the glass they use, it also feels kinda different from other devices.

true , even Im of the same view that apple devices don't need any glass protection . i have 3 iphones & an ipad without any screen protection even after rugged use. though back covers are important coz these are very slippery devices. i had my 5S without back cover for a week since old one broke and it started felling off my hand and got some scratches.
Also accessories market for iphones is one thing I love , there's a huge variety of products which may cater to everyones needs.
