Couple of observations: 1) My phone automatically connected to all the saved Bluetooth and WiFi networks. Surprising since settings (and hence, WiFi codes) were to be wiped out 2) When I got this phone in the US, they offered a range of apps: Keynote, Numbers, iMovie, Pages free. However, when I tried to install them via the India Appstore, all are charged. Plan to take this up with Apple Otherwise, no noticeable difference as such. | ||

Whatsapp will work as it is. Infact, i have a Jio sim in my iphone, and the registered sim is in a secondary phone. Still works as it is. Whatsapp uses an sms OTP registration, so as long as u can verify with OTP, use whatever sim you like in the device 😁 | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() All these are free here as well. I have them, downloaded using an India purchased 6S. Had the same set on my previous 6 also. |

| ![]() In today's news, its officially announced that Iphones will be 'Made in India'. Bangalore will have the assembling facility and is only the third such facility in the world. The facility will commence operations starting April of this year. We can now look forward to the cost being cheaper hopefully. More news and source here. |

| ![]() Trump notwithstanding, Apple knows that they have to manufacture / assemble outside the US to survive. Yes, German wages are higher, but the productivity is even more so. |

Any particular reason for bringing in Germany into the discussion? Was there a consideration to move the production to Germany? | |

| ![]() Awesome! ![]() I look forward to owning a domestically made iPhone/iPad in the future! ![]() The iPhone 5S & iPad 2 that I currently use, as well as my previous iPhone 4S, are all assembled in China (the PRC), not even Taiwan. I would any day prefer an assembled in India phone/tablet over one that's assembled in the Middle Kingdom. Last edited by GTO : 4th February 2017 at 14:53. Reason: Removing derogatory term (com...) |

| ![]() Received my iPhone 7 256 gb today, thanks to Paytm for offering a brilliant cash back deal. The phone cost me a net 63k INR after the 10k cash back, cheaper than amazon by almost 11k. Upgrading from my old iPhone 6 which served me beautifully for 2 years. Last edited by coolboy007 : 4th February 2017 at 18:22. |

| ![]() The whole idea that iPhone could cost cheaper since it's manufactured here might not really materialise. Check iPhone prices in China currently and you would know. ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My pal wants to buy my iPhone 6 Plus 64gb. It has about 2 weeks of Apple care left and I can swap it for a replacement just to get fresh hardware but it will cost me 100$. I will be in the US next weekend and can do the swap at an Apple store just before my Apple care ends. I can decide if I want to sell it as is now or with a fresh replacement (refurb probably). What should be a good price in either case? Can I ask for 33k as is and 40k for the refreshed piece? |

| ![]() Parents purchased a pair of Iphone7 32GB yesterday. With the HDFC cashback on one phone, the price was 54k, which is less than what I paid for my Iphone 6S 64GB. ![]() About the 7, I liked the black colour however it is a sad thing that space grey is no longer available. The space grey back panel looks better than the matte black one. Maybe they could have made the space grey a few points darker and got a gunmetal or a dark grey shade. The earphone adapter is a very crucial accessory now and it has to be taken care of well. I would have preferred the jack though. |
