Ingram Micro to offer iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus from Friday

Apple products distributor Ingram Micro will offer the latest version of the iconic iphones - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - starting Friday across 1,200 retail locations in India.

This time, according to industry sources, the demand is much similar to that of previous launch. However, vendors were not ready to share pre-booking numbers.

Earlier, Redington India had also said that the company will also be distributing the iconic phones in India.

Ingram Micro's reseller partners are also hosting a midnight opening for iPhone customers.

iPhone 6 will be available starting at Rs53,500 while the iPhone 6 Plus will be available starting at Rs 62,500. Customers can pre-order iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at the Ingram Micro website, the company said in a statement.

''We are extremely delighted to offer the revolutionary iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to customers across India. Customers looking for the best smartphone experience will look no further once they get their hands on the new iPhones,'' said Atul Gaur, Executive MD, Ingram Micro Mobility.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus come with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch Retina HD displays, the Apple-designed A8 chip with second generation 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras and ultrafast wireless technologies.

The new iPhones include iOS 8, the biggest release since the App Store, featuring a simpler, faster and more intuitive user experience with new Messages and Photos features, predictive typing for Apple's QuickType keyboard and Family Sharing.

iOS 8 also includes the new Health app, giving you a clear overview of your health and fitness data and iCloud Drive, so you can store files and access them from anywhere.
