With its new tagline "Say Hello to the future" for their tenth anniversary, Apple unveiled the much awaited iPhone X on Tuesday. Along with iPhone X, other smartphone models - iPhone 8 and 8 Plus and major products like Apple Watch Series 3 and Apple TV 4K were also announced.

However, the highlight of the event was the new iPhone X which is claimed as "the future of the smartphone." The new iPhone models (iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) will be launched in India on September 29 starting at INR 64,000 for 64 GB. The ultra-premium model iPhone X would be available in stores from November 3 starting at the range of INR 89,000 for 64 GB and ending at INR 1,02,000 for 256 GB. The pre-order for the phone in India will begin on October 27. The new model is grabbing headlines because of its starting price which makes it the most expensive iPhone so far.

With its new features like face ID, portrait lighting, wireless charging, augmented reality and A11 bionic chip, it will be interesting to see how this tech giant will convince the Indian consumers to pay a heavy price for this high-end smartphone.
