Apple fanboys in India! iPhone 4S is coming tomorrow with Airtel and Aircel. iPhone 4S is the latest version of Apple’s flagship smartphone running on iOS v5.

The phone is much-hyped, as it was announced a day before Steve Job’s death on October 5, 2011.
Indian operators started pre-ordering of the iPhone some days back. Both operators priced same for the latest version of Apple’s iconic phone. 16GB version comes at Rs. 44,500 and 32GB one is at Rs. 50,900 as iPhone 4S is one of the most expensive mobiles in Indian market right now.

There is no official information regarding 64GB version of the phone from Aircel, but Airtel offering 64GB variant at Rs. 57,500. Earlier releases of the phone – 3GS and 4 are also on sale. iPhone 4S will reach to Aircel and Airtel Stores from November 25, 2011

There is no direct discount on iPhone 4S price, you have to opt plans offered by the operators, and you will get discounts on the recharges or on the monthly rentals.Airtel tariffs are more competitive as you can offer one from total of 4 plans. But no bundled STD minutes with any plans.
But Aircel offers less 3G data and adds WiFi hotspot data with its plans. If you are buying an iPhone 4S, choose operator and plans as per your requirements.

Do you think iPhone 4S is the best smartphone available in the market? Frankly I am no Apple fan boy staying in India and I say better look at the Android offerings – wide offerings from many brands! Even you are in tight budget, Android is always there.


Benchmarking by different experts shows iPhone 4S lags behind Google Nexus S, Motorola RAZR or Galaxy S II. With Android 4.0 is going to make available for most of the Android phone in future, Android has the potential to be the future.
At this moment I cannot resist myself to add this video with this story.
