According to a local report, an upcoming launch of the iPhone in India is set to be the largest in history.
Industry sources say that the iPhone will be sold through 2.5 lakh Vodafone and Airtel retail outlets.
Note: The lakh is a unit of measurement in India… 1 lakh = 100,000… Thereforre 2.5 lakh would mean the iPhone will be available in 250,000 stores. Is that right? Correct me if I’m wrong here… Seems like an awful lot of stores, but then again there are an awful lot of people in India!
The iPhone will also be sold via Apple’s own outlets, which are obviously much fewer in number.
Pricing will apparently be set at Rs 23000, that’s roughly $542 USD by today’s current rates.
No further details were available regarding launch date, but you can bet I’ll keep my ear to the ground on this one. I wonder if this will be part of the rumored international launch I had reported on earlier?
