For its part, Flipkart has an exchange offer of up to Rs 13,500 on all older iPhones.

Similarly, the Airtel Online Store is offering a 5 percent cashback on Axis Bank and Citi Bank credit cards, but only for those that opt for the 12 and 24 month EMI options. They¡¯re also allowing you the option to pick up the device from a nearby Airtel store when the launch starts at 6pm September 28, or they¡¯ll ship it to your address at a slightly later date.

It¡¯s stupefying to see how, in just a year or so, Apple has made it commonplace to lay eyes on an iPhone priced at over Rs 1 lakh and not bat an eyelid. Whether or not these premium models will actually sell in India is still anyone¡¯s guess.

Then again, people elsewhere in the world don't seem to be flinching and cowering over their endangered pockets.
