Vodafone Essar to launch iPhone 4 in India

MUMBAI: Vodafone Essar plans to bring the world's thinnest smartphone, iPhone 4, to India in the next few months.

Apple's iPhone 4 has the highest resolution display ever built into a phone.

"Vodafone Essar will launch iPhone 4, the thinnest smartphone in the world, in India in the coming months," the company said in a release here today.

US-based Apple Inc, the inventor of iPods, iPhones and iPads, had yesterday officially 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 4 has a new camera system, capable of video-conferencing and recording high-definition video.

With the advent of 3G, Vodafone intends to boost its sales by launching the iPhone 4 into the Indian market.

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