With its huge fan following and record sales across the world, the iPhone has already captivated many a eye with its rollicking features and eye-catching apps.

In India, iPhone will be offered through service providers - Airtel and Vodafone. The price for the Indian market is expected to be around 20,000 to 30,000 INR. The iPhone is slated to be a 3-in-1 device - a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device (including email, web browsing and Wifi connectivity).

The iPhone will be available in 8 GB and 16 GB variants in India. Although the iPhone supports 3G speeds (upto 14.4 Mbps), the networks themselves are not equipped in India to provide faster rates. The iPhone users in India will have to be content with 2G networks. Added to that, all features may not be supported in the Indian version of the iPhone.
