BGR India: Apple takes control over Aircel and Airtel for selling iPhones in India.

BGR India is reporting that Apple is now taking the control from India’s exclusive carriers for iPhones to sell the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 in the country. And Apple has reportedly ramped up its team to manage the iPhone sales in India.

iPhone 5 launched in style at the special media conference this week, and there’s been a huge debate about when the iPhone 5 would land in India. But then, BGR India, one of the reliable source has revealed that the carriers like Airtel and Aircel have already placed orders for nano-SIM, to support the latest iPhone 5.

But now, BGR has reported that the company would solely be responsible for selling iPhone 5 to the customers, and its not just the  new iPhone, but all the other supported iPhones in this case. While this is nice to hear, this might just be a sign that Apple’s concentration is shifting towards India, and as our sources revealed, Apple is expected to open their first retail store in the country early next year.
