iPhone 3GS with its flawless looks and stunning design, is a style statement for any mobile phone user. It is smart, faster and sleeker than its cousin iPhone 3G. It supports 7.2 Mbps, has 3 megapixel auto focus camera and a series of other features including a water and oil resistant body. For sure, every Indian would love to have the iPhone 3GS in India.

But, when will iPhone 3GS come to India? There is no proper information from Apple regarding the launch dateĀ  as Apple is known to keep secrets. Unofficial sources claim the launch to be in the first quarter of 2010. The reason for the delay is still unknown though the phone was launched in major countries three months back.

Apple iPhone 3GS Coming To India

Apple iPhone 3GS Coming To India

Some possible reasons which can cause the delay: Apple’s Indian market is small. India is yet to wake up to the 3G technology. As of now, 3G is available only with BSNL. Mobile internet is yet to catch up and many mobile users in India are only now warming up to the possibility. Another reason maybe the cost. Apple products are bit expensive. The earlier version came with a price tag of around Rs 35,000 when it was launched. Since iPhone 3GS is advanced than 3G, the price is expected to be around Rs. 30,000 which may vary for different versions. So, guys be ready to splurge your money if you want an iPhone.

iPhone is expected to be available with Vodafone, Airtel, BSNL and MTNL. As BSNL already has 3G spectrum, it would be an added up advantage to attract iPhone customers. So if you still searching for the launch date of iPhone 3GS, probably only God may know it. View our iPhone App Development Services

Very
Happy, at last I can see an article about the iPhone 3G launch in India, while still the Indian government is reluctant to give up the 3G spectrum crisis. We have rumors like the launch will be before the end of 2009 and I hope the rights would be slowly given to the Carriers and virtual operators in India. Though we are talking about the official release of iPhone 3g in India, its already here. If you just walk through the chor bazaar in New Delhi, you could see number of AT&T jail-broke iPhone 3Gs and re-furbished iPhones3G 8GB models. Especially in Bangalore, unlocking the iphone is the hottest business, for now. BSNL’s 3G services had already went live and we dont know , why the Government is still wasting the time. Us and South Korea is already started moving to 4G and High-end Wimax services. We are absolutely burying the Nex-Gen inventions!!

The launch of iPhone 3gs has not been so much successful in India. May be because of not so sufficient technologies in India.Though iphone 3gs launch in india is much awaited because of its cool features, (yes, I am waiting too) it can be successful and can reach more people and have good sales only when technologies like GPS and WiFi are available at most places and accessible to common users.

I am just curious to know when would be the iPhone 3GS Launch in India? Hope the iPhone 3GS launch in India would be great success eliminating all barriers.

iPhone 3G launch in India by Airtel and Vodafone was an EPIC failure.

The reason i can think of is, Airtel and Vodafone sold Carrier Locked iPhone for the Price of Official Unlock iPhone.

This math don’t do quite well with Indian Market. I would have wished Apple had directly launched Official Unlock iPhone through retail outlets like Apple Stores, instead of going through with Airtel and Vodafone.

Because of the above issue they (Apple) lost more than 80% of market they could have had in India.

I am hoping my best that Apple is waiting for their Contract with Airtel and Vodafone to get over with and come out with new strategy that suits well with Indian Market. Am keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

I only hope apple release Official Unlock iPhone this time in India.

Well its highly unlikely that the 3G S will be launched in Q1,2010 cuz we’ve already finished mre than half of Feb & doesn seem to change even in the month of March….however, if u go to apple.co.in & check out for the 3G S, it clearly sasy Comming Soon in large font size so we may never no…as for me i really cant wait no more….im buyin it from the US for $700…i just hope that’s the rate for a factory unlocked iPhone…lets see…this waiting period is really wearing me thin!!!

commenter

16GB i-phone 3G S is quoted at Rs. 35000/- in grey market and 32GB is quoted at Rs.42000/-. (All for Locked Handsets)

Hi,
I don’t think iPhone 3G is over priced in India, I checked the website of all operators around the world who have been given the rights to sell iPhone it is not less than Rs35,000 in any part of the globe I mean it is officially, it may be bitter but this is the fact, Only in US it is cheaper initial $200 for the phone and even if AT&T takes $20 per month for 24 months it comes to $640 equal to price in India.
Moreover apple is a us based company so price is in India will be obviouly more bcoz of import cost and the taxes……similar to Sony vaio and hcl laptop.

So don’t chumma tell it is just Rs 8000 in us, its touch screen alone comes to Rs10000.

Latest news is Vodafone has take out of stock on iPhone column in their site, the operators are reluctant to Market iPhone because it’s cost is more than3G, the most hyped 3G itself dint go well here.

So Buy orgininal be in peace don’t spend huge amount in grey Market and it is mostly an iPhone that is refurbished from abroad.
