Hence price for India won't be relevant till 'free for all and fit all' sim was changed. Would a company like Apple incur so much cost to change? At the same time, why shd Apple incur this cost to penetrate Indian market? My guess is, they have surplus iPhones of older version available which need to be dumped in Asian countries before iPhone 4 is a reality!<br />ScmPrideOfMatchinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843479600994139195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043138489010794057.post-53781988534831078612010-07-11T16:25:45.547+05:302010-07-11T16:25:45.547+05:30Yes, 2 year AT&T agreement I am aware.

But I also was under the impression that iPhone 4 has microSim card and thus not yet launchable in India as we have the typical ubiquitous 'fit all' SIM.PrideOfMatchinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843479600994139195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043138489010794057.post-74877891907554577032010-07-11T16:18:33.962+05:302010-07-11T16:18:33.962+05:30thanks... nothing wrong there
the prices u have q...thanks... nothing wrong there<br /><br />the prices u have quoted are from the iPhone site, which also contains a footnote explaining the prices <br /><br />"Requires new two-year AT&T wireless service contract". <br /><br />in other words, the US consumers are "subsidized by AT&T in exchange for service contracts". <br /><br />the proposed indian prices are over to the $600 mark. see this<br /><br />http://www.priceindia.in/laptop/iphone-4-price-in-india/Urbanomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16956198290294771298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043138489010794057.post-89296461780609535522010-07-11T13:23:41.977+05:302010-07-11T13:23:41.977+05:30Something wrong there, data or the interpretation....Something wrong there, data or the interpretation. I think iPhone 4 comes for little UNDER $200, $199 for 16 GB version and $ 299 for 32 GB version.<br /><br />So where is the $360 profit you/Time is talking about? pl clarify.<br />scmPrideOfMatchinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843479600994139195noreply@blogger.com
