iPhone 5 India release date gets a nod for October 26?

iPhone 5 India

The iPhone 5 India release date likely to be scheduled for October 26, says the latest reports that have flooded the web. And if this is a possibility, potential buyers can mark their calendars and set reminders to land up at a nearby store.

The guys over at BGR India report that the company will not be making the smartphone available through network providers as it did in many countries including the US, the UK, Canada and Australia. Moreover, the phone is expected to have wider availability as compared to its previous versions that were not readily accessible everywhere. So with some good luck, potential buyers should be able to purchase the device through nearby retailers.

As for the cost details, there are reports about the smartphone hitting stores with a similar price tag as its predecessor. However, we have no word on the number of shipments being made available, given the fact that there are worldwide supply constraints. In our last report, we listed out the handset’s varying price through a host of online retailers within the country such as eBay, Tradus and Rediff Shopping.

If this juicy rumor holds true, the iPhone 5 will arrive in the country on October 26, so suggests the leaked release date details.
