Its the wish of many ordinary Indians to own a iPhone, considered the ultimate of smart phone luxury. It has a certain WOW factor and is also seen as a status symbol. However paying Rs.45000.00 + for a smart phone is too far fetched for them except for the well heeled class. With the launch of iPhone 5c, many thought that this would be the budget iPhone that would probably be their dream phone. But the prices announced by Apple for India make owning a iPhone a pipe dream. The unlocked versions ( usable with any service provider) are available for following prices
- iPhone 5c (16 GB) > Rs.41,900.00
- iPhone 5c (32 GB) > Rs.53,500.00
- iPhone 5s (16 GB) > Rs.53,500.00
- iPhone 5s (32 GB) > Rs.62,500.00
- iPhone 5s (64 GB) > Rs.71,500.00

What makes RCom's offer interesting is that it will offer unlimited calls as well as unlimited data on 3G for internet surfing. The offer which will give users unlimited local and STD calls will even give free national roaming. This also includes incoming calls when roaming in the country. In addition, users will get TRAI-regulated 3000 free SMS per month for 24 months, with any extra local SMSes chargeable at Re 1 and STD SMSes chargeable at Rs 1.50. The important thing is that the 3G being given is unlimited which is must for any iPhone.
As per back of the hand calculation theiPhone 5c zero Down Payment and zero EMI Rs.2600.00 offer will come to Rs.62400.00 out of which if you deduct the market price of iPhone 5c i.e. Rs.41900.00.00 = 20500.00 is the balance which if divided by 24 will cost you Rs.854.00 per month. Which in my opinion seems a great steal given that you get unlimited of pretty much everything like calling, roaming, SMS (3000) and 3G network and RCom network is also pretty good in India.
