Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus India price announced

After a lot of speculation, the official pricing of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus for India has been announced.

The iPhone 6s base model will cost Rs 62,000 and the iPhone 6s Plus will start from Rs 72,000.  

The iPhone 6s 16 GB will be priced at Rs 62,000, the 64GB for Rs 72,000 and 128GB for Rs 82,000. The iPhone 6s Plus 16GB will be available for Rs 72,000, 64GB for 82,000 and 128GB for Rs 92,000.

Apple will launch its latest iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in India on October 16.

This will be the fastest iPhone rollout ever for the Indian market, coming less than a month after the latest models became available globally.

The availability of the new devices, that compete with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+, will enable the US-based firm to cash in on the upcoming festive season.

One of the key new features is called "3D touch," which responds to pressure exerted on the screen to allow users to look inside messages and applications.

The 6S has the 4.7-inch (about 12-centimeter) display of its predecessor and the 6S Plus -- which updates one of the more popular handsets in the "phablet category" -- has the same 5.5-inch screen.

But the devices have more powerful processors that allow for improved graphics, harder glass and a new aluminum body.
