Apple’s anniversary edition iPhone X went on sale in India on November 3, 2017. Priced at a whopping Rs 1,02,000, the device became the first smartphone in India to cross the Rs 1 lakh mark. iPhone X has created a buzz in the market wherein Apple loyalists and users of other branded smartphones alike are flocking to brick-and-mortar shops and online retail store to get their hands on this fancy device.
The demand of the iPhone X has grown to such a level that many sellers on OLX are selling the 64 GB model of the device at a price as high as Rs 1,40,000. This price is nearly Rs 51,000 more than the retail price set by Apple, which is selling the 64 GB variant of the device for Rs 89,000 in India.
