Let’s start with the cost, a recent article posted on TheMobileIndian tells us that the iPhone 4 is more expensive in India than anywhere else despite arriving almost a year later. Both Aircel and Airtel will charge you Rs 34,500 for the 16 GB model and almost Rs 40,900 for the 32GB model, if you check out their article you will see that this equates to a lot more than the asking price in the USA, Europe, Australia and Japan.

Obviously for a lot of people price is not really an issue, therefore Aircel and Airtel will be heavily promoting their new smartphones, Aircel has come up with a pretty unique way of spreading the word about the iPhone 4. Aircel has made backpacks which feature portable, illuminated billboards showing off the Aircel iPhone 4, these are called look-walkers and you can see some photos and read more about them over at afaqs.com.

So far the iPhone 4 has been a huge success no-matter where it launches, therefore despite the hefty price tag we expect it to go down well in India, we just wonder if sales will take a hit if Apple reveal the iPhone 5 next week at WWDC 2011.

Do you think the iPhone 4 will be a success in India?

The handset has been available for preorders since the beginning of the month through Aircel and Bharti Airtel according to an article on the Mac Observer by Jeff Gamet. The carrier has now revealed the release date of May 27.

Both the companies have been heavily marketing the handset leading up to the launch, with Aircel pushing their 3G services. Currently though the Airtel website still only shows the preorder form, but the date has been confirmed by an Airtel spokesperson.

This launch will be more good news for Apple as the country is only behind China for cell phone customers, and many consumers are now getting more interested in smartphones. The handset has been available for almost a year in most places, but Apple is bringing their devices to more markets.

The iPhone 4 will be available in both colors, and Chethan Rao of Techtree is reporting that pricing starts at Rs.34, 500 for the 16GB model going up to Rs.40, 900 for the 32GB version. Have you preordered the iPhone 4?
