iPhone 5C Price In India Doesn't Look Cheap At All
When rumours and leaks of the iPhone 5C began to surface, people in countries like India and China were quite excited. Everyone was hoping that Apple has finally paid attention to the two most populated countries in the world with a cheap iPhone. People had hoped that Apple would somehow manage to keep the price between 20,000 to 25,000 rupees, but it was not supposed to happen. Sure, if you live in the US the phone comes in 16GB and 32 GB variants on a two year contract from a service provider for $99 (6,309 INR) and $199 (12,683 INR) respectively. But the unlocked retail versions in US have been priced at $549 (Rs 36,500) and $649 (Rs 43,000). Now keep in mind, the Indian prices will be slightly higher than these prices. So as it may look brands like Samsung, Micromaxx and Karbonn are here to stay as they offer Android smartphones at much cheaper rates.
Now even though the prices might have put you off by now, it’s no harm of going through what the iPhone 5C has to offer. Like most ‘cheap’ yet premium phones this one has been made out of polycarbonate resin and is available in 5 colours. The screen is a 4-inch retina display with 1136x640 pixel resolution. Underneath the hood, you find Apple’s A6 chipset and 1GB of RAM. Your photographic needs will be taken care of with an 8MP rear autofocus camera with flash and 1.2 MP front camera. In terms of connectivity, you have Wi-Fi with AirPlay, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and GLONASS. The only solace, the phone will run the latest iOS 7 out-of-the-box. Apple has also made sure that you do not rely on aftermarket covers and has decided to give you seven “separately sold” colourful silicon rubber cases which cost you $29 (1,847 INR) each.
Now after having a look at the features, will you still go for it? Let us know in the comment section below.

LalitJivnaniEven i was desperately waiting for iphone 5c but the price really embarrassed me.
Rumors are there that like US,we will also have contract system in India for some specific carriers which will cost us low but still not sure about that.
Hope this rumors turn into reality.
Wish India luck for the iphone. -

Japanese or Chinese?Abhishek RawalIf $549 is cheap then I will get cheaper gadget "MOTO-X" for $599 rather than this Japanese school girl's phone 😁
I was expecting the 5c to be priced at about Rs. 15000. There's one possibility though. Iphone my get launched via a telecom operator. I doubt that will work though. Let's face it guys, the iDevices won't be cheaper in India. Add the falling value of rupees to the trouble. -
