8GB Apple iPhone 5C releasing in June in India : Apple playing its best gamble yet?

If Apple’s recent gamble paid off, folks may be most welcoming of the 8GB Apple iPhone 5C which is coming to India in June. It’s not even been a week since word broke about the iPhone 4 being discontinued in the country after serving its purpose. Even though the Apple iPhone 5C wasn’t given an official relaunch, the gossip in town is that it was a calculated move by the company to gain more followers.

The three-year old iOS smartphone was released once again in India for around Rs 20000 with the apparent intention of establishing a bigger fan base, before being whipped out. In keeping with the urban legend that you can never go back to Android or any other OS once an Apple devotee, expectations are high about the cheaper 8GB iPhone 5C becoming a hit in this market.

NDTV Gadgets is reporting that the 8GB iPhone 5C which was only out in certain markets such as the UK, China, Germany, Ireland, Spain and Switzerland amongst other nations, will be rolled into India next month. The 16GB and 32GB capacity smartphones had a price difference of over Rs 11000, costing Rs 41900 and Rs 53500, respectively.

June may be just the right time to release it since the iPhone 4 is going to be out of stock soon and there may be some still wishing for a budget iDevice after that.
