Iphone 5 India priceing & launch ?

Guys, anybody know what the price is gonna be for a 32/64GB IP5 in India ? Also when is it expected to launch ? The benchmark numbers of the IP5 have tempted me so much that I can't resist buying an IP5 now

There are a few FU IP5s available right now on Ebay but they are priced ridiculously high - 89990 for 16gb, 99900 for 32 gb and 1,09,990 for 64gb LOL.

But I believe the prices will go down 2-3 weeks on these units once the supply increases, so I was wondering do these come with International Warranty ? Or will I be stuck with "dealer warranty only" ?

Also what services will NOT work in India apart from the maps ? I am not selling my Xperia S, so I don't really care about the maps issue.

Owner trolled.

BTW it should be priced under 50k for 16 gig.... and IP5 will come in INDIA in third wave AFAIK so by Diwali..

Under 40k ? You sure ? That seems to be a great price

In all possibilities I see it to be above 40k initiall atleast. But yeah the lesser the price the better
Apple woud take into consideration the price of SG SIII. So expect fireworks :wink:

even if its 50k in india Fanboys gonna buy it.. Loyal Costumers Pays loyal Fees...I'm in hunt for a Giveaway

yeah...>40k seems a bit cheap for it..how abt .46k ?

Hmmmm. I'm fine upto 60k for the 64GB version, not a penny more. Even 60 is a bit TOO much but the upper(actually extreme) limit of "acceptable".

I dont feel its worth to buy a iphone 5 any memory for above 40 k!!

Iphone 5 will be available in India for around 50k considering the price of iphone 4S right now is 45k.And I think it will be here around sometime in or near december.

M

i think its about 59000..(think about cost of apps too)...

As rupee is gaining momentum. I think it should land for 43-48k

If you have friends or relatives in Australia, then you can buy an unlocked international version of iphone 5 16GB for 750 AUD (roughly 40,500 INR) through kogan(dot)com. I know plenty of people in India, who have out sourced iphone 4 & 4s, Samsung Gnote, S2, S3 at a very competitive price from Australia through kogan without any issues (but via their relatives or friends staying in australia).

Though kogan is importing grey smart phones & gadgets to Australia , their background is with reputation as a leading manufactures of TV & home appliances locally (similarly to our Videocon). Also kogan provides dealer warranty that is believed by australians as better than any manufacturer warranty. Without any question they always replace your phone (or any gadget) in case of manufacturing faults during the first 12 months. Yes, you won’t get refurbished products as replacement, but brand new box package of same products. With couple of extra $$, u can also get extended warranty.

Iphone 5 (16 GB) @ 40,500/-
Samsung SGS3 (16gb) @ 27,000/- , these prices are unbelievable even for a grey product. Refer their site, price keep on changing every week.

Many Australian forums say, kogan have pre-ordered 200 thousand units of iphone 5 in the first week of pre order at a special rate from apple (which is supposed to be below 400us$) and through their legal way of importing this to Australia avoiding taxes , they were able to legally sell this grey products at a very competitive price there.

Note: Just sharing the info for people looking for cheaper source of iphone 5. I’m not promoting this site, lol. Better you can refer some aussie forums or enquire your friends & network in aussie for authentication of kogan.

A friend of mine got Ip5 for about 55K this week in mumbai...

iPhone 5 is expected to launch close to Diwali. I think the pricing will be same as iPhone 4S, if not then getting it from USA is the best option.

No. iP5 costs more than iP4s atleast for few months.
BTW, most of the iOS6-fancy-features are not usable/applicable for India.

iOS 6 users in India will miss some key features, but plenty to cheer | NDTV Gadgets

My opinion. There is not plenty enough to justify buying an iPhone 5, unless you are a hardcore fan of Apple and can't live without their latest gadget. Better wait for 5s, we all know Apple's release schedule and that 5 will be missing many features of 5s, though very much capable.

5S ?
I thought iPhone 4S itself is the short form of 'iPhone 4 Steve' :lol:

Now, they've to name as iPhone 5T (iPhone fight) :lol:

You suggesting to wait for a year more!!!!

I won't recommend that.

I phone 5 16 gb should be priced upwards 47k as Apple has recently reduced the price of iPhone 4s to 41.5k.

If it is so then getting it from US/Canada or Singapore is the best deal. But I still think iPhone 5 will be priced at 44.5k for 16GB and 50k for 32GB.

Waiting for another year? Nope, that's stupidness! Since 4S didn't come up with expected features, there were many who waited for iPhone 5. Now another year, that's impossible.

Re: Iphone 5 India priceing & launch ?

Wait till diwali for the official release you will get iPhone 5 for the same pricing of iPhone 4S. 16 GB base model will be cost around 44k.

Thanks for the vid rider and a matured comment which people don't generally understand.

I agree that iphone is iphone, but I think it will be get a price tag for around 48-50k which is not worth, in that case Note 2 is a much better option, have ordered it today only for my brother.
Lets see in how much time it comes.

Everything about official pricing is rumor. AFAIK The prices of new iphone would be same as previous one like they done in US. And comparing a phablet Note II with iPhone 5 is completely pointless. It is like comparing a big bus with a BMW. Both are great gadgets but for different users.

Buddy that is the scenario in US but not in India, check the price of all the previous iphones in India, it is supposed to get higher price than the old iphone 4S price, so above 44.5k means somewhere around 48-50k

The reduction in dollar prices gives us hope that it will be priced at 44k. I phone 4s insane pricing was attributed to the high price of dollar last year.

At Gray markets in kolkata, it is available for rs 54000 for 16 gb

yea! this is I want to say. When iPhone 4S was launched dollar prices were too high but now it's falling.

If it is selling for 54k unofficially in grey markets, it will be 10k less when it will be launched in India officially.

Re: Iphone 5 India priceing & launch ?

Just read the info of 26k iphone 4 32GB phone. It is second hand phone. Seller has written that "home button not working and brand new seal opened to check the phone, locked with AT&T ready to use with GEVEY. Home button can be fixed at a price of 1000 RS at any mobile service centers."

This means 26k for a second hand broken phone with no warranty. :lol:
