    @ImKarthikK Wow, that is steep. Was hoping for the same price as the 4s…

    • ImKarthikK

      @_iCena Even I was hoping so. But this was what my source said! 🙁

      • _iCena

        @ImKarthikK It will still sell lots, since ppl are ready to pay 1lakh+,but not as much as the S3 which is bad.Wish we had carrier subsidies.

        • ImKarthikK

          @_iCena Yeah! Exactly!

        • PrasannaSrinivasan

  • AnirudhParekh

    Hi Karthik,Just wondering if you have any idea whether there will be any prebooking tomorrow or just a launch?

  • diptakdutta

    @ImKarthikK : Its 5th and still no news about the release. How authentic is your source?

  • Athek

    These guys just need a featured article to attract viewers with fake information.I am really disappointed with this article after knowing the correct information from one of the senior manager at Redington as i have been doing export of iPhone 5 to India for grey market sales from day 1 and i was shocked reading this date which could have affected my business.iPhone 5 will be launching by november end according to our information and may start from Rs.46,990 for 16gb.

  • BestMera

  • diptakdutta

    @ImKarthikK  dude please do not spread rumors if you don’t have enough information stating that your source is reliable. this is just another way to pull people to see your webpage so that there will be more number of hits on your page.. disappointed with you and cannot rely on you from now on any information you share.

    • diptakdutta Thank you! I think its now worth to tell you to check with the nearest Apple Authorized retailer about the launch date. You’ll find that what we reported and what the guys would say would be the same. 
      We’re not here for pageviews. And there are ZERO ads on this site. Thanks for visiting though.

      • diptakdutta

        karthikk  Hmmm!! They still have no updates.. But they told me they are expecting iPhone 5 to launch by the end of this month..

      • Athek

        karthikk Well called the nearest Apple store and reliance digital office. They said they had no updates for this month and its not possible..
        Secondly, The reason you dont have ADS on your blog is that Google has certain limitations to install Google Ads which requires a specific amount of page views on a site. As your blog is new you cannot get approval from and Ad service. Creating false post would bring you viewers, But they will loose respect towards you and the information that your present.
        I recommend you post valid information with confirmed sources in the future. I had liked your blog and bookmarked it. But i sadly i have to dislike and leave. Will get back here in future.Goodluck!
