Updated on

Apple’s much-awaited iPhone X finally went on pre-orders today in more than 53 countries including India. Due to limited availability, pre-orders ran out of stock in less than 30 minutes in the US and other countries. Brisk iPhone X pre-orders in India have put the concerns about the phone being too expensive for the world’s second-largest smartphone market. The iPhone X India pre-orders opened at 12:31 p.m. local time. It ran out of stock in just 15 minutes on Flipkart and Amazon India, two of the largest e-commerce players in the country.

iPhone X India price out of reach for most people

The device has received an overwhelming response in India. The iPhone X India price starts at Rs 89,000 ($1368.5) for the 64GB version and Rs 102,000 ($1568) for the 256GB model. India is among countries where the iPhone X is most expensive. The phone will go on sale on Friday, November 3. If you were not lucky enough to place your pre-order before the phone ran out of stock at online retailers, you could still pre-book your phone at Apple-authorized offline retail stores. Some of them are still taking orders.

Both Flipkart and Amazon India are not accepting pre-orders right now. But if you want to book the phone, you can enter your email address to receive a notification when the phone becomes available next. Apple has already warned potential buyers that they should reach the retail stores at the earliest on Nov.3 if they want to walk out of the store with the iPhone X on the launch day.
