If you are looking to buy the latest iPhone 4 in India through the official channels, you might have to wait until Diwali.
An Airtel executive recently confirmed to Reuters that the company is planning to launch iPhone 4 in India but around the September or October timeframe.
There’s no mention of price but it will obviously cost you more than a mid-range laptop. It is also not known if Apple / Airtel will offer free bumpers to iPhone 4 owners in India like they are do in the U.S. to fix the antenna related issues.
Vodafone, the only other cellular operator that sells the iPhone in India, has not confirmed their own launch dates yet.
If you want an iPhone 4 now and don’t mind paying the premium, there’s always the unofficial route – buy a locked iPhone 4 from US and unlock it on your own or get one from either the UK or Canada. Apple is ‘officially’ selling unlocked iPhones in these countries and therefore they’ll work out-of-the-box with any GSM (micro) SIM.
