India was not on priority list when Apple used to plan product placement. In yesteryear, India has shown amazing growth, while worldwide product was not successful. Apple strategically launch new product every year considering festive season ahead i.e Christmas.
India’s festival season is based on Vikram samvat rather than English calendar. As per English calendar, Indian festivals are starting from 22nd Sep. Navratre are considering auspicious season for buying. Majority of Indians delay their buying spree for this period.
Apple India has done superb job to convince their counterpart. Now pre-booking in India will start in auspicious season of Navratre. As Navratre period run for nine days, product delivery of iPhone 8 and 8 plus will be on schedule (Navratre itself).
