Airtel Promises to Launch iPhone 4 in India


Finally, after six months of wait, Indian telecom provider Bharti Airtel has promised to bring Apple iPhone 4 officially in the country. Once again, the launch date is ambiguous as the company's press release says it will be introduced in 'coming months'. So yeah, just when it's time for Apple to introduce the iPhone 5 globally, the company plans to introduce iPhone 4 which would be a year old by then. The major concern for Apple enthusiasts and iPhone admirers of India would be the price.

In July last year, we reported that Bharti Airtel COO Sanjay Kapoor shared plans of launching the iPhone 4 in September-October time frame. But it didn't happen and we aren't given the reasons for the delay. Airtel is said to be working closely with Apple for the introduction of iPhone 4 in India. Two major concerns for any person interested in iPhone 4 would be the price and whether the device would be locked with Airtel.

By now, we're sure you all would be aware of the iPhone 4's features like Retina Display, front facing camera for FaceTime, faster processor, capability of 720p HD recording and many more
features. With the advent of 3G Services in India, we hope Airtel has better data plans for iPhone 4.

When the iPhone 4 will be officially launched in India, we believe that Apple will cut the price of iPhone 3GS. So the new price of iPhone 4 32GB model could be somewhere around Rs. 41,500 and the 16GB model would price bit lesser. It's too early to predict the pricing but looking at the history of iPhone pricing with cellular operators, expect it to be on the higher side.
