The Telecom Giant Vodafone will offer the much awaited iPhone in India. The telecom giant has signed an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets around the globe.

While the company did not disclose the price of the iPhone but Business Standard had on April 16 this year reported, that the price would range between Rs 27,200 and Rs 28,000. It is expected that Vodafone would launch iPhone by the first week of September.

Based on buyer response, the launch of the 16 GB version will be staggered to the middle of 2009. Initial sales targets for the iPhone in India or unit numbers at the time of launch are as yet unavailable, with Apple wary of grey market sales in India.
