Vodafone India tries to find finance for iPhone buyers
I’m in India, and had been looking forward to this launch. But since the prices have been announced, I’ve realised I can’t afford to buy one, reason, it is priced more than my monthly salary and no I don’t fall into the lower income bracket in India I’m somewhere in the upper middle.
Even this finance scheme would find few takers as the iphone is just too pricey here...
