well, Apple announced that the iPhone with 8GB will now be available at the price of $399 (approx 16,300 INR).
This is the first time after the launch of the iPhone that Apple has reduced its price.
At the event Apple chief Steve Jobs said, “The surveys are in and iPhone customer satisfaction scores are higher than we’ve ever seen for any Apple product.”
“We’ve clearly got a breakthrough product and we want to make it affordable for even more customers as we enter this holiday season,” he added.
There is no news regarding the price cut of the 4GB iPhone model. However, Apple plans to phase the 4GB model out. Thus, the device will be available in the market till stock lasts.
Apple iPhone 3G in India
So, Apple launched it indeed. And while I was sleeping! And for a lot less price too! Excellent.
All the mobile companies of the world must be shitting in their pants now!
Apple iPhone 3G
Even more exciting is the fact that they are going to launch this new version in India! Apple has proved me wrong!
Update:
The most interesting thing I have read today is that:
Steve Jobs said that the price would be a “maximum of $199″ globally.
This is for the 8GB model. If Apple launches the iPhone 3G 8GB model in India for Rs. 8000… I am sure they are going to sell millions of units in India itself.
