Apple has reduced the price of factory unlocked iPhone 3GS 8GB in India to INR 19,990. This is the first time Apple has done something like this in India. The rising android adoption due to its wide choice of cheap handsets is believed to be the reason behind this move by Apple (The Google Nexus S is now selling in India at a price tag of INR 19,900, HTC Desire for INR 15,000). This also shows that Apple might be a little worried with Android taking up a lot of market share, even though they might not show that they are.
Nonetheless, this is great news for people wanting to put their hands on the iPhone. 3GS is an awesome device. It supports the latest iOS and will also support the next big version – iOS 5, though some features might not be available.
In case you are wondering how iPhone 3GS performs when compared to iPhone 4, here is a video that might answer your questions:
