iPhone X goes on sale in India at 6pm IST on Friday as part of the first wave of availability for the eagerly anticipated smartphone. With the iPhone X price in India going as high as Rs. 1,02,000, it is the first mainstream handset in the country to cross the Rs. 1 lakh-mark. However, availability might be an issue as the company might not be able to meet the high demand for the full-screen iPhone X. The smartphone was put up for pre-orders last Friday with various offers in India including Rs. 10,000 cashback for Citibank credit card users, a Jio Buyback Offer, and more. Reliance Jio had its own pre-order offers as well, while Airtel did not offer pre-orders, but is providing cashback for a limited period between 6pm IST Friday and 7am IST on Saturday via its online store.
