Apple will release the iPhone in India in September.The company is partnering with Vodafone India for the launch, which is expected to take place in September. Initial reports claim the 8GB iPhone will be the first model to ship, with a higher-capacity version set to reach the sub-continent in mid-2009. And Vodafone may also pick up the deal as network partner for Australia.
“The carrier deal for India is being worked out with Vodafone,” an Apple source, told the Business Standard.
Vodafone officially denies any such deal, though company insiders have confirmed it, the report claims. Apple is engaged in a slow expansion into the country, with plans to open a second store in Bangalore and a third in Chennai this year. India is a critical market: the Indian mobile subscriber base is set to almost double to 500 million by 2010, the report explains.

Whats the price of the phone going to be?
iphone will be launched at a price ranging between Rs 27,200 and Rs 28,000.
thats reallly expensive! they should look at a price around 16k - which is what it is in the US and then look at locking in consumers (which is what vodafone does anyway :P)
