Apple is bringing its 8GB iPhone 5c to India. The 8GB variant was
originally released back in March as the lowest cost current-generation
iPhone option available.
The 16GB 5c currently retails in the region for 41,900 Rs., and the 8GB
version in Europe is presently priced at 50 cheaper than the 16GB, which
is the equivalent of 4,100 Rs. This means that the 8GB iPhone 5c could
cost less than 35,000 Rs., which would be a huge selling point for Apple
in India.
Because of Apple's strong worldwide brand name, it is easy for them to
sell their previous generation phones in regions like India and still
turn a healthy profit.
CEO Tim Cook even discussed the growth Apple has enjoyed in the Indian
market:
"iPhone sales grew by strong double-digits year-over-year, and in India
and Vietnam sales more than doubled.
The 8GB iPhone 5c should drop in India in the next few weeks, and expect
the low-cost device to start popping up
