iPhone 3G: Dismal Sales In India

High cost keep sales low

Apple faced a lot of criticism when they announced that the iPhone 3G will cost above Rs. 30,000. Though there was an indication that the iPhone's price will not be the same as its US counterpart, no one expected it to be so exorbitantly priced. To add insult to injury, other manufacturers also followed the same pricing strategy for their flagship phones. Needless to say, sales are pretty dismal.

Business Today has published an article revealing the sales figures of the iPhone as well as other smartphones. According to their figures, telecom operators have managed to sell about 4000 units of the iPhone since its launch. Nokia N96 that was unveiled in September managed to sell about 1000 units.

Let's hope that the manufacturers learn a lesson or two and lower the prices.
