As soon as the iPhone prices in India were revealed by Apple, netizens took to their respective Twitter handles and sparked a huge debate on the theory of how Indians strategise before buying iPhones or new products in general. Several online users also created memes and shared them on the micro-blogging site. Take a look. 

iPhone prices in India trend on Twitter after iPhone launch event

At the iPhone virtual launch event, the company announced four new iPhone 13 models that correspond to last year's iPhone 12 lineup. As soon as the prices were revealed, netizens took to their micro-blogging accounts and began putting out tweets on theories related to the ways in which Indians strategically buy iPhones after price cuts. A netizen commented, "Tim Cook bhi sovh soch ke hairan hogaya hoga ki pre-order toh iPhone 13 ka announce kiya par India mein achanak se iPhone 11 ki sale kyun badhne lagi (Even Tim Cook is wondering as to how after pre-ordering iPhone 13, why iPhone 11's sale has gone up in India)."

Another one tweeted, "Most Indians wait for the launch of iPhone n so that they can buy iPhone (n-1)." A Twitter user wrote, "For the cost of an iPhone, you should use it until n+5/6... iPhone 13 Pro ke cost mein toh e-scooter aa jaye Ather ka (At the cost of iPhone 13 Pro, we can purchase e-scooter)." Another one chipped in, "Nothing's bad in it. If we can troll apple for the fact that the new iPhones have nothing new in them, just the change in camera, processor from his predecessor, I guess there's no harm and in fact a smart move to go for."

A Twitter user commented, "I can’t wait for the iPhone 13 to come out so that prices of the iPhone 12 can fall. If the price of the iPhone 12 falls then that definitely means the price of the 11 will also fall, together with the X, 8, 7, 6, 5.. That way I’ll then be able to afford the iPhone 4!!"
