woopwoop777, 14 Oct 2015lol I think you will find that it doses hence the 79% profi... moreapple should also consider manufacturing their phones in india as the rest of the companies are doing... this would cut import duty and transportation cost which is near about 25% of phone's price but their CEO Mr. Tim Cook says they dont have market here so manufacturing would cost them more than selling the phone... if the people will get iphones for lesser price then automatically its sale will rise up... india has the facilities for all its components except for chipmaker which can be imported from china...

It should open more full fledged stores as I have seen many people leaving this store with brand new apple products

Ibrahim, 14 Oct 2015An iPhone cost $220 per piece after all material and everyt... more600 you are talking is very less. Talk about other luxury manufacturers who make dumb watches costing 10,000$+ and gold/diamond plated icraps for million+ dollars. Its only for those sickest millionaires who care much for their pride and money is not their problem. Even a basic icrap too is for those who much care for pride.

Is somebody forcing u to buy an Iphone, no right. Its like watches, even a 10$ watch shows time and so does ROLEX. Why call others fool, they like it, can afford it, they buy it, simple.
Ru like one of those ppl who bash Apple bt will happily accept their products for free?
Get a life n stop criticizing others for their choice.

SW, future updates, device testing, service, customer support, etc. are not included in the 220 USD cost.
Let alone VAT, shipping, store expenses, etc...

Well Apple CEO was reading about Lakshmi Mittal just before making the decision to open stores in India,so naturally, considering our heavily generalised society heavy on stereotypes, everyone in India is naturally unbelievable wealthy. Therefore the iPhone pricing was set as it is.
I'm going to watch Slumdog Millionaire.

The people you mostly see use iPhone are...if not an ignorant richman then it will be a so-called classy girls.
We are very wise this time around to be fooled apple.

Or just to show up that my smartphone cost zillion dollar right?
Well everybody should do what he/she pleases people. As for me...........

INR62,000 ($949) for a 2012 specs 16 GB phone with mediocre features and gimmicks which would be interesting for teenies?? You're funny, Apple. When you open the stores in India, please provide your staff over there a red nose and clown costumes. That will suit to the deals you offer.
