Carrier stores leak iPhone 4S price in India
While we still wait for the iPhone 4S pre-orders to go live on Aircel, we are hearing whispers of iPhone 4S pricing in India courtesy Aircel and Airtel stores in the city. According to them (mind you, it is not an official announcement) the iPhone 4S will be available for Rs 44,500 (16GB), Rs 50,900 (32GB) and Rs 57,500 (64GB). The iPhone 4 8GB will be available for Rs 37,900, which would be more expensive than what its 16GB version was introduced in India. The iPhone 3GS 8GB has also received a price hike and will now cost Rs 20,900, according to an Airtel Store. There is no word on tariff plans and we are not sure how any tariff plan. We are not sure why anyone would buy an iPhone 4S from India and not simply ask friends or relatives to pick up factory unlocked ones from the US, instead.
Thanks @singalnidhi for the tip!

Omg Lmao “The iPhone 4 8GB will be available for Rs 37,900″ Hahahaha What A joke Seriously =)) :D
Is this exhorbitant price for 4s due to $ rate fluctuations ? or the carriers are try to earn some money by selling iphone 4s in India. Better to buy unlock from HongKong!!!! what say ?
This is purely insane. Even if I get it courier to India from US I think I will end paying at least a bit lesser than this price even after customs duty!

Look like i’ll be buying the 64gb from the US and paying 15k less! I guess issue is warranty, but I travel to US once-twice a year and there’s always friends and relatives going up and down so if the worst happens, I can get it repaired. Also it has great resale value, so after getting it fixed I can always resell it.
No chance I’m paying this ridiculous amount.. it amounts to sheer thievery!
above info seems to be accurate …
