In what should come as big news for Apple fans in India, e-commerce giant Flipkart has started accepting pre-orders for Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which are scheduled to be launched in India on October 7.
While pre-booking for Apple’s next-generation smartphones has begun, the e-commerce website is also offering some deals and offers.
For the ease of customers, Flipkart has created a separate landing page on the website for Apple iPhone 7, and will charge the full payment of the phone instead of a token amount.
The phone is only available for pre-order in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru and the starting price is Rs 60,000 for the 32GB variant.

Here is the price list of different variants of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus:

The new iPhone models will hit Indian stores on October 7, in silver, gold, rose gold and the new black finish.
The new iPhone features new advanced camera systems that take pictures like never before, more power and performance with the best battery life ever in an iPhone, immersive stereo speakers, wide color system from camera to display, two new beautiful finishes, and is the first water and dust resistant iPhone.
The iPhone 7 will have stereo speakers for the first time, with twice the volume of iPhone 6s speakers. The phone's battery life is improved, too; Apple estimates that the iPhone 7 Plus will have an additional hour of battery life compared to the iPhone 6s.
As there is no headphone socket available, users will either have to use wireless Bluetooth headphones called AirPods to listen to music, or buy a pair of wired headphones that plug into the Lightning port - currently used for charging.
