Tech giant Apple has launched iPhone 5C 8GB version in India for Rs 37,500. The device will be available in the market over the next few days.
The iPhone 5C was launched globally last October along with iPhone 5S and the 8GB variant of the device was first launched in the UK and France. Apple iPhone 5C features 4 inch Retina display and has almost identical internals, including Apple's A6 chipset, an 8 megapixels rear camera with flash and a 1.2 megapixels front facing camera.
Apple’s sharp pricing of iPhone 5C in India has been one of the reasons that Apple is still to figure among the top 3 players in the smartphone market, even though globally it ranks second to Samsung in terms of shipment.
iPhone 5C, the colourful devices that Apple brought out for price sensitive markets like China and India, is selling for over Rs 37,000 16GB and more than Rs 53,000 for the 32GB version.
Previously, Apple had also introduced the 8GB variants of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S in India.
"India was one of the fastest-growing countries worldwide in terms of smartphone adoption in 2013. This surge has been mainly powered by homegrown vendors, which have shown a tremendous and consistent growth over the past four quarters of 2013," IDC had said. |
