Both the smartphones were globally unveiled in September this year, and will be available via various large format retail outlets and authorized resellers, apart from via Airtel and Reliance Communications (which has also initiated a free-on-contract scheme) telecom operators.

The Apple iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are available in India starting Friday and will also be available in other countries including Albania, Armenia, Bahrain, Colombia, El Salvador, Guam, Guatemala, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and UAE.

The iPhone 5s runs iOS 7, the new iteration of Apple OS. It comes in three inbuilt storage variants 16GB, 32GB (Rs. 62,5000) and 64GB (Rs. 71,500) and will be available in three colour variants such as Gold, Silver and Space Grey.
