iPhone 3G Price in India to be Rs.31,000?

August 13th, 2008 by Santosh

Well that’s what rumours say, or at least that is what Tech2 says is the confirmed price of the Apple iPhone 3G in India.

The 8 GB version of the iPhone 3G will cost Rs. 31,000, while the 16 GB version will cost between Rs. 36,000 and Rs. 37,000.

It would be interesting to see how many would buy the much awaited (and rather highly hyped) Apple iPhone 3G. Would you buy it?

Thanks Aalaap!

    NO. Too overly priced.

    Was looking for a price range of Rs. 20k to 24k.

    Being the money minded people we Indians are (and there’s surely nothing wrong about it), it wouldn’t come as a surprise that most of us wouldn’t bother buying it at this exorbitant price. Apple - rethink your pricing strategy, or die. Thanks for your opinions Prajeeth and Subbu.

    It will be a major flop in INDIA, if they sell it at high price.
    We have better features on other phone which will cost less than 15,000.

    bye bye Iphone

    iPhone at 31K / 36K ! Not worth it at all. Does the Indian service-providers and Apple-India feel that there are
    more than few fools in India to buy it at that price? No way… Will fall on face very soon. Big failure I must say.
    Indians dont like to be extorted by anyone. Seriously, this is sheer burglary in broad daylight.
    I suggest that they make use of these sets to build their interiors/table/chairs, rather than dumping simply heeeheeee. Horrible business logic… no logic at all. Steve Jobs will be really sad to hear this. Sorry Steve, but didnt expect this from you.
    Get me iPhone at the original price+tax, I’ll pick it.No fooling around.The HTC Touch Diamond is a much better option here.

    Hi,

    In nutshell, iPhone is bomb. It has:

    iPod, internet and obviously phone. No need to explain what iPod is, I really love when it comes along with phone.

    Wish to get a new one very soon.
