You get black iphones in market for 16 - 20K. They simply bring from US and sell it here in black. No taxes, duties as everything is hidden.

Companies have to pay hefty taxes and import duties.

[...] Vodafone prices of iPhone were nearly similar to this one and i see no difference! Once again a disappointment for many gadget lovers. As the commentators said in the vodafone post, waiting and watching these service providers reducing the price would be the best option. The prices would decrease sooner or later and then we can have our grab. [...]

How could vodafone think easily that Indians can buy it at that price?
I too will wait and watch till they are forced to calm down with their prices and when i see a decent price, then it would be a good grab.

It’s something funny am seeing here. Apple has released the product officially for just $200 and a network provider becomes a middle man and uses his service in it and sells it for $800 and $900.
This is just insane and ridiculous. I think vodafone should have thought more than what they did and had to set the prices to at least Rs. 25000 which would have been a decent price.

iPhone can not make it to the standards of Nokia N96 which as you said is Rs. 36000 in price.
Then why is the price that huge? Also to increase the burden they are offering the phone with postpaid plans to empty our pockets faster. LOL

As i expect, it would be very less sales of iPhone as people had already bought unlocked phones for 20k and adding 12k more not be in everyone’s budget..

They should surely reduce the rates!
