On Wednesday (Sep 7), Apple lifted the suspense off the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus at its special event in San Francisco. In a surprising move, Apple has already announced the price and launch date for India. iPhone 7 price in India begins from Rs. 60,000, while there is no word yet on Indian price of other models. Both these phones will be available in India from October 7.
In the US, the iPhone 7 starts at $649 for the new 32GB entry-level variant, eliminating the 16GB model idea. The iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769 for the same 32GB storage. Apple has doubled the storage variant on other models with 128GB as well as 256GB models now rounding up the line-up.
