Sources have confirmed that iPhone 5 will not be available in India at least for a few months mainly because of the new nano sim card which iPhone 5 features.
Unlike the common misconception that the nano SIM is just a reduced version of the normal Micro SIM and Standard SIM, it is not.
It is hard to imagine that Airtel and Aircel will be rolling out the iPhone 5 in India soon with the new SIM. They will take their own sweet time for their release and the price of iPhone 5 in India will likely be Rs.44,500 as was iPhone 4S.
We can also expect the iPhone 4S to go down by Rs.5,000 to Rs.7,000 in pricing. Even if it is not available for cheap in the retail stores, the black and grey market is sure to witness some awesome sales of the iPhone 4S.
If it takes too long for the iPhone 5 to be revealed, even I may buy an iPhone 4S for the time being because it is the same 8MP camera and one of the main reasons that I want the iPhone is for its camera and of course the ease and simplicity of the iOS.
Another major problem for iPhone 5 and Indian users is that most of the people who use iPhone 5 in India will not be able to use the 4G LTE because as far as I have seen, networks are charging an arm and a leg for LTE connectivity and also the reliability of the connections are quite low.
