Whereas unlocked iPhone 5S variants will be sold for 16GB-$649 (₹41,600), 32GB-$749(₹48,000) and 64GB-$849 (₹54,500).  Indian Apple fans who were excitedly waiting to get their hands on the low-cost iPhone 5C will be unhappy to know that the new plastic iphone will have a hefty price-tag of $549-16GB (₹35,200) and 32GB-$649 (₹41,600) respectively.  Considering the Rupee depreciation, the prices of iPhones may go up further by the time they hit theIndian stores.

Along with iPhones, Apple is also offering separate premium leather covers in multiple colours - beige, black, blue, brown, yellow and red (with soft, colour-matched microfiber lining) for $39 (around ₹2,500).

Despite Apple reaping huge success in iPhone sales in India, the company has no plans to release new smartphones in the subcontinent anytime soon and Is the cheap iphone really cheap and will it boost company's sales ..Perhaps time will prove that..
