How to buy Apple iPhone 5S in India

Apple released iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on 10th of september. If you live in one of the countries named below, then you can easily buy any one of them either through contract on a particular carrier or unlocked at much higher rates. But in India you have to wait atleast for 2-3 months to get iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C officially through Apple stores. If you cannot wait for that much time then follow these simple steps to get your new iPhone within few days and much before the official launch in India. Do not hesitate, it is completely safe as we are going to tell you how you can make your purchase through eBay India. Here we go to bring your new iPhone 5S.



Countries where they are launching it officially are United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and UK. As always India is missing. But who cares that, we can still buy iPhone 5S in India without even waiting for the official launch. Here we go.


1. Go to eBay website. You can type in your browser as "ebay.in" and it will take you to eBay India official website.

2. Search for "iPhone 5S" in the top search bar. Once the page will load it will show many items including the iPhone 5S, for which we are searching. 

3. Make sure you are logged in. If you will log in using proper eBay account, then it will make your search more refined and unwanted  results will be removed automatically. Create your new account on eBay. 

4. If you just want to see exact search results, do follow our next steps to get your work done. Bring your focus on the left hand side of the website where you can further refine your searches. Check the boxes which we have done. See the picture to see what we have done. 

5. Check the box "Buy it Now". It will remove items on auctions, which we do not want to buy if we are making purchase of a new item. It is not necessary here. 

6. Also check the Box "New". It will just show newly launched items. Used or refurbished items will be removed from the results. Here we forget to check the box, but you still do it. 

7. Going further down in the list, set the price range as we know that iPhone 5S is going to cost in between that range. We are not sure about exact prices in India, but you can vary the price range to include more options. We have set the range from Rs 30,000 to Rs 70,000. 

8. Below that, do check the box of item location as "India Only". In case your device goes faulty, you can contact Apple India service center for repairs. But we will suggest you to still check the seller policies as they vary from seller to seller. Do everything with extra caution as you are going to invest huge amount in your purchase. eBay is still the safest means to buy things online. 

9. Now last, but not the least, its upon you if you want free shipping or not. These options are completely user dependent and users can choose them according to their need. Sometimes, shipping charges are helpful as they give the indication that your item will be shipped in minimum days, as given in the seller's item description page. 

Now see what we have found when we followed all these instructions on eBay while we were searching for iPhone 5S. 

It is very clear that we have to pay a great amount to get our new iPhone 5S. Prices are as high as Rs 75,000 for 16GB model of Golden iPhone 5S.  It is now more clear that official prices are going to be much higher that this. Still iPhone 5S 32GB and 64GB model prices are not shown in the search result. You can just get iPhone 5S pre-booked from here. Do read full shipping, payments and return policies before finalising your order. Enjoy your new iPhone 5S. If you have missed the Apple event, you can get all details on our website regarding new launches and future plans of the company regarding the new products they have launched.
