Multiple sources have confirmed to us that Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 5 in India on the last Friday of this month, which happens to be October 26. As we had exclusively reported earlier, Apple will be distributing the iPhone 5 in India on its own rather than relying on its carrier partners.
We expect the iPhone 5 to have a wider availability unlike the past where it was not available readily everywhere.
There has been no official confirmation regarding the same and apart from Tim Cook's vow of taking iPhone 5 to 100 countries by the end of this year, the Cupertino based company has not shared a detailed roll out plan.
There is no way to authenticate the BGR report and considering its hit and miss record in the past, we would advise you to take this information with a pinch of salt.
