Rashi Peripherals, one of India’s leading IT and mobile distributors, will distribute the new iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 plus in the country from October 7, 2016. Another distributor, Beetel Teletech Limited, a Brightstar company, also said it will start iPhone distribution from the same date.
Apple announced the launch of its much expected iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and a host of other goodies on September 7 in San Francisco, US, at the iPhone maker’s biggest annual event.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the launch that over 1 billion iPhones sold till date.
Those hoping for a long due design refresh were a bit disappointed as the new iPhone reportedly looks much like the previous iPhone, and the one before it. Both the iPhones come with Ingress Protection certification. The new iPhone 7 is dust and water resistant.
The iPhone 7 is a relatively compact phone with a 4.7-inch HD screen with 3D touch. Apple claims that its A10 Fusion processor is the most powerful chip on a smartphone so far. The finest and most advanced iPhone will be featuring innovative camera systems, the best battery life and water/dust resistance. Though iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available in more than 25 countries from September 16, but India have to wait till October 7 2016.
Rashi Peripherals officials commented, “The smart phones will be available at over 1000 retail locations across India.”
On the other hand, Beetel Teletech announced that it will distribute iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, in 2000 retail locations across North and East regions in India.
