With the announcement of October 7 as the date for the Indian Apple lovers to grab a new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, the Cupertino-based tech giant has not only improved upon the product availability date for the country but is also firmly eyeing the long festive season ahead.

But how much are they going to set you back?
Yesterday, some secondary market traders at Mong Kok said the jet black iPhone 7 Plus could warrant a premium of HK$2,000 to its marked price of HK$7,388 for the model with a 128 gigabyte capacity.
That should give you a good idea of just how fucking excited people are to get their hands on Apple’s latest iPhone.
Check out all of Carphone Warehouse’s iPhone 7 deals here. Of course, then next year’s completely redesigned tenth-anniversary iPhone will come along and put us right back where we started, so let’s savor the moment.
Jet Black seems to be the most popular color at the start, probably not least of all because of Jony Ive’s soothing recommendation of its material superiority.
Some are still showing as shipping on launch day, including the 128GB and 256GB gold models, and all configurations of the rose gold offering.
Until Apple is able to kickstart single-brand retail or perhaps even Make In India iPhones, the chances of astronomic hikes in cost not happening every year are low. Not everyone is upgrading to the iPhone 7, and many people may need a Thunderbolt cable or a keyboard.
If you still want the Jet Black model, you’ll have to invest in a case to avoid scratches.
Regardless, no matter how you cut it, there’s no free iPhone 7 here. You can also get Spotify, Sky Sports Mobile TV, or NOW TV for 24 months, thrown in too. Instead, on the iPhone 7, you’ll get a single, but still new, 12-megapixel sensor, as well as an improved lens and improved 7-megapixel front-facing camera. All three devices were revealed Wednesday during an event hosted by Apple in San Francisco.
It’s just, for many critics, we suspect a lack of “exciting” and “brand-new” tech will cause some disappointment.
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have officially been announced, and T-Mobile is cashing on this opportunity to provide you with the best possible deal for Apple’s latest iPhone.
