iPhones by Apple will now cost same both– online and offline

Apr 26, 2016 2:13AM PDT

The variations in the prices of iPhones sold in brick-and-mortar stores and online marketplaces in India may narrow as distributors move to a uniform pricing structure across the country. The move was triggered by flagging offline sales of iPhones and comes ahead of a proposed launch of Apple’s own stores in the country, which is intended to become its primary revenue driver, revealed Apple India.

This not only apply to iphone but to all electronic gadgets as it's very hard to get warranty replacements if the product is faulty when you received it.
