Apple has reportedly confirmed the launch of its much awaited iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in India this month.

Apple India, in an e-mail reply to International Business Times, India Edition has confirmed that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will hit stores in the subcontinent on 17 October, as previously announced, thus putting all speculations of the delayed launch in India to rest.

The company has declined to reveal the official prices of Apple iPhone 6 smartphones, but said the pre-order window will open on Tuesday (7 October) in India and the device will finally go on sale in October third week.  Apple reseller affiliate, Instagram Micro have confirmed to go live with Apple iPhone pre-order in 24 select cities across India tomorrow.

Couple of weeks ago, some section of media citing Apple's reseller affiliate executives had reported that the American company might delay the device to compensate the overwhelming demand from North America, Europe and Australian markets and also to keep enough stocks of devices for China (also slated for 17 October launch), world's biggest smartphone market. 

last week, NDTV got their hands on the internal document of Apple resellers, revealing the expected prices details of Apple iPhone 6 devices. The prices range from ₹53,500 (for iPhone 6 16GB) to a whopping ₹80,500 (iPhone 6 Plus 128GB model).

Taking advantage of the confusion on the actual iPhone 6 India release date, illegal Apple devices have already made their way into subcontinent selling for a whopping ₹1,00,000 (around $1,650) a piece in grey markets at Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata regions.

Some retailers are also using e-commerce sites like e-Bay India to sell iPhone 6 devices between ₹75,000 (around $1,230) and ₹1,15,000 (around $1,900).

China is no different; Apple iPhone 6 devices are selling for ridiculous prices up to $3600 (₹219,000) a piece at grey markets. [For more information, read IBTimes India report]
