The bookings for Apple’s newest iPhones have begun. If you’re an ardent iPhone lover, you should be prepared to shell out a minimum of Rs 62,000 for the lowest storage variant, 16 GB, of the iPhone 6s, going up to Rs 92,000 for the 128 GB variant of the iPhone 6s Plus.

According to three trade sources, Apple has communicated the indicative prices and given the go-ahead to begin taking advance orders.

Industry officials told ET the iPhone 6s 64 GB would cost about Rs 72,000 and the 128 GB version would be about Rs 82,000. The iPhone 6s Plus 16 GB would be priced at Rs 72,000 and its larger storage model of 64 GB would be priced at Rs 82,000.

Apple is yet to declare official prices in India, the company told ET in response to an emailed query.

Pre-bookings have started at major retail chains across the country. The MobileStore, India's largest mobile phone retail chain, said it will begin taking orders from Friday. The Mumbai-based chain with over 800 outlets will take pre-orders for Rs 2,000 each up to October 13. The devices will become available on the night of October 15.


Bengaluru-based Sangeetha Mobiles' managing director Subhash Chandra said the company had started taking pre-orders for Rs 1,000 apiece and expects most existing iPhone users to upgrade to the new models within the first month.

The retail chains will offer monthly installment payment options, upgrade programmes and finance schemes. "We will also offer freebies like back case and accessories during the booking period," Satish Babu added.
