Apple Inc has been grabbing the headlines for the last few days especially with the unprecedented success its two new smartphones, the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, have logged. But, while Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook is laughing all the way to the bank, and so are shareholders, for Indians the experience may just have lost its sheen, except of course for the ones packing fat wallets.
While there were many who questioned the success quotient of the new iPhones, the official market roll out in US of the models on Friday dispelled all thoughts of the gadgets being anything but a success – sales figures prove it. The frenzy in the US and much of elsewhere has also driven the craze for new iPhones in India too, which also talked of the premium gadget being made available to the 'masses'. However, the buzz, created by suitable 'leaks' of an 'affordable' iPhone 5C have now been dispelled, while 5S price is eye-popping indeed.
The price of the so-called 'budget' iPhone 5C and the high-end iPhone 5S have hit the roof. According to the reports both the newly launched iPhones officially will be available by Diwali in India but Delhi's grey market is already offering the gadgets with a pricey sticker - iPhone 5S at Rs 64,000, while iPhone 5C at Rs 49,000.
