iPhone In India Soon

Apple is launching the iPhone in the US tomorrow. Officially, it will not be available in India for at least another year. But for those who really want it, the wait might be as short as a fortnight or, at the most, a month. In the US, Apple has tied up with AT&T in an exclusive contract. This means that the iPhone will only work on an AT&T SIM card for which buyers have to sign up for an $59 to $100 a month plan for a minimum two-year subscription.

But in India, grey market operators say they can “unlock” the phone for just Rs 1,000 or Rs 1,500 so that it can be used on any network in India.Out in the grey markets of Palika Bazar or Sarojini Nagar, an entry-level iPhone will be available for Rs 30,000.
