| ![]() The 16 GB variant costs 39k!! I wonder why anyone would buy this phone for such a price when iPhone 6 is cheaper phone supposed to be India specific but pricing has already killed it in my opinion! ![]() |

All you have to do is wait for a couple of months. Prices will drop by then. Remember how the 6S too was atrociously priced? Discounts started coming in a matter of months. |

Hardware has been vastly improved, hence the price increase. The same 5S costed this much around 6+ months back. No one complained. Apple must have thought about something to launch a phone in 4 inch screen. Last edited by Sheel : 22nd March 2016 at 14:57. | |

Infractions: 0/3 (13) | ![]() India pricing for Apple products is stupidly insane. Not worth paying such a fat premium at all. Even though I did pay Rs 85K all in all for my Macbook Air some 4 years ago when I could have gotten the same thing at 1100 USD had I just been a bit patient and waited till I went on a trip outside. The iPhone 6 that I am using came at more or less the same price as it was, in the US, because of a special deal on Amazon that I took advantage of. But all in all, it is very irritating to have to pay such a huge price nearly 1/3rd more, for every Apple Product in India as compared to the price abroad. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Some of you have bought your iPhones from the US. The Apple Stores and places like Best Buy etc only sell phones with a contract. My query is "Where can I buy an iPhone without a contract in the US". I may be visiting New York / New Jersey soon. |

The Apple store sells Iphones without contracts. However, if you plan to use them in India, I suggest you buy it here itself. Phones with US warranties (talking about my experience with the 6s) are not touched by our service centers. |

I bought mine at AT&T (a carrier) and paid upfront; I just had to call AT&T customer care to request them to unlock it. Yep; good point. Other thing is different radio settings; LTE works only in certain cities in India on my phone since radio settings are not supported. The Airtel rep said eventually they'll support all bands though.

I took it to the authorised service centre and they tried fixing it. They found it was a hardware defect and it was replaced within a week. No questions asked. | |

iPhone SE comes with A9 processor and 2GB RAM as compared to iPhone 6 which has A8 and 1GB RAM. It is basically similar to the 6S from inside, only in a smaller form factor. Having said that, I agree that 39k is a bit too expensive. |

Unless there has been a recent price cut in the US, you can get better deals in India. If you don't mind buying online that is. |
