New Delhi : iPhone SE, the US technology major Apple's latest bet to grab a bigger share of the booming Indian smartphone market will start selling in the country from April 8 for Rs 39,000, a price higher than that of existing models. Beetel Teletech and Redington have said they will begin the distribution of iPhone SE, Apple's lowest priced smartphone, from April 8.

Supply chain solution provider Redington in a statement said it "will offer iPhone SE beginning April 8, in 3,000 retail outlets across the country".
Beetel Teletech said that it will offer "iPhone SE, the most powerful phone with a four-inch display, beginning Friday, April 8, 2016 at over 3500 retail locations across India." iPhone SE will be available in space grey, silver, gold and rose gold metallic finishes in 16GB and 64GB models starting at Rs 39,000 from Apple authorised resellers and select carriers, Apple said in a statement.

"iPhone SE is an exciting new idea we started with a beloved, iconic design and reinvented it from the inside out.
