Cupertino-based tech giant Apple announced three new iPhones last week – the iPhone XR, the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max. And, out of these three, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max can now be pre-ordered in India.
The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max can be pre-ordered through Airtel Online Store, Flipkart, Jio.com, Reliance Digital, MyJio Stores and MyJio app. At press time, Amazon India doesn’t have any listing for either of these new iPhones. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are actually the same phones that differ in terms of screen size, screen resolution and battery. Both these iPhones are available in three storage options – 64 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB.
