Apple iPhone X went on pre-orders in India yesterday and everyone was expecting it to be on-par with that of the iPhone 8.
iPhone had a constraint which was its price tag (a whopping amount of sub-1 lakh or more) which the Indian buyers are not usually very keen to spend upon. But, the reception which has been recorded seems to have beaten all the speculations and surpass every record that it possibly could.
Pre-orders of the flagship king started October 27 at 12:31 PM on Flipkart and by 12:59 PM it was already out of stock.
It is to be noted that, the e-commerce site had already declared that limited stocks of iPhone X were available during pre-orders.
There were several offers too: People who were to pre-book the iPhone X using Citi credit and Citi world debit cards got up to Rs 22,000 cash back. Additionally, Flipkart offered Rs 10,000 off on purchase of iPhone X. Jio offer for iPhone which was more or less the to that of iPhone 8 was still valid and effective. There was also a Rs 15,000 cash back offer for those who buy iPhone X along with Apple AirPods.
Other launch offers included up to Rs 52,000 Buyback value, up to Rs 20,000 off on exchange, extended warranty with doorstep pick-and-drop as well as EMI starting at Rs 3,042 for 36 months or three years.
But, after the sale was gone offline and the surge was so tremendous, it is however unclear that when the pre-booking for iPhone X will resume.
But, one thing that it has cleared off is that doesn’t matter what Apple hasn’t totally lost its charm yet and in spite of all odds, it is still going strong with the iPhone X!
