Retailers say iPhone 5s accounts for almost 50% of total iPhone sales in India. Apple had lowered the price of iPhone 5s during Dussehra in October and then again before Diwali in November. An email sent to Apple did not elicit any response as of press time Sunday. According to trade sources, the US tech giant's latest move is triggered by its plans to double India sales in the crucial December quarter, a high sales period for Apple globally as it's the launch period of new iPhones. Analysts said Apple's price cut of iPhone 5s is part of its strategy to build a stronger portfolio in the mid-segment smartphone market.
said Tarun Pathak, senior telecom analyst at Counterpoint Research.
Pathak said this price band is one of the least compet!tive and where Indian consumers typically look for the brand factor in purchase. He said the total number of consumers in India in the iPhone 5 series was 1.2 million until September 2015, of the total number of 3.5 million iPhone users who either own the older or latest model. Retailers said the price cut would help Apple compete better.

“
"This is interesting since iPhone 5s has been their best seller in the Indian market and companies seldom drop prices such frequently for popular models,"
“
"The $250-400 (Rs 16,000-Rs 27,000) price band is where Apple wants to focus its energies in India since they want to lock in more consumers into their eco-system which would build up a base for upgradation when newer iPhones are launched,"
"Samsung's A and E series smartphones are operating in this price band, but the Korean company has not yet launched any newer models in these segments, hence Apple can significantly gain share this quarter
a senior executive with a leading cellphone chain said.
