Apple didn't find any other carrier for its iPhone???? Why they choose one of the worst network service in India, we don't understand. It's obvious that, total sales revenue will be 30% less that the expected because of this worst carrier partner Vodafone.

Apple iphone comes with lot of headache. For instance, the battery of the phone is not changable. Unlike other mobile phone batteries, the battery in the iphone is fixed. You need to go to a iphone service center to get it replaced. It's not worth the trouble.

If the price could not really be brought down to realistic levels, say below Rs.20000, they should develop a new version with slightly lesser features, pricing it around Rs.10,000 so that middle class persons can enjoy the benefits. The marketing people should learn from other MNCs who have learnt to 'Indianise' the products and services with most competitive pricing. More volume, low price should be their marketing strategy.

Joseph, Apple does not many any of their product for the middle class. The are a CLASS apart from the other stuff you get from the market. Be it the ipod, Mac notebooks or iphone. Hence, they would not heed to your advice. There are tons of Chinese stuff on the market which is mass sold/marketed. And they don't seems to be all that bad!!
