Aircel today announced it will start pre-booking for the iPhone 4S from November 18, with the launch happening on November 25. This is line with what we have been exclusively reporting for over a fortnight now.
Both Airtel and Aircel will initiate the fanfare that usually happens with any iPhone launch on November 24, with sales starting from midnight in select stores in major cities.
Apart from the online pre-booking, we are also hearing at least one carrier might also have some online booking post the launch.
Our sources are indicating the carriers have received lower number of units than what they would have liked.
Apple is reportedly diverting a big chunk of its iPhone 4S inventory to Europe and the US, where the demand remains high despite reports of battery woes that have not been fully resolved with the recent iOS 5.0.1 update.
The shortage of iPhone 4S inventory is expected to continue till January, once the holiday season shopping frenzy in the west subsides.
