Bharti Airtel already sells iPhone 3GS in India priced at Rs 35,500 for the 16 GB model and Rs 41,500 for the 32GB model.

With the launch of third generation mobile services in the country by the end of this year,the sale of such high end devices are likely to get a boost.

US-based Apple Inc,the inventor of iPods,iPhones and iPads,had last month announced the launch of the iPhone 4 with a sharper screen and video-chat features in an attempt to ward-off competition from devices running Google’s Android software.

The iPhone has emerged as Apple’s top product,overtaking its Macintosh computer and iPod.
