If you are interested in pre-ordering the iPhone X in India, you can head to Amazon or Flipkart. Users can also head to Apple resellers and other partner outlets to pre-book their iPhone X unit.

Both e-tailers have revealed their pre-order offers for the new handset as well. Flipkart is offering Rs. 10,000 cashback to buyers of the new smartphone on purchases made via Citi Credit and Citi World Debit cards; buyers will get Rs. 15,000 cashback if they buy the AirPods with the iPhone X, and Rs. 22,000 on buying the Apple Watch with the smartphone. Buyers can also opt for the buyback offer that guarantees them up to Rs. 52,000 buyback value on upgrading to a new phone, as well as extended warranty for a year.
