DELHI: Apple price has been slashed to Rs 5900 in India.
The reduced cost of the Apple TV in India has yet to be revealed via an official press release. But other nations across the globe have been treated to the same formally. It has been pegged at $30 lesser in the US, that’s $69 now. Similarly, fans in the UK or Australia can buy it for £59 or AU$109, respectively.
The newly revised rate of this third generation streaming set-top box means it is available for roughly Rs 2000 less in India at present. But Snapdeal seems to have jumped the gun on the official announcement since other online retailers like Amazon and Flipkart were seen to be selling it for over Rs 7000 at the time of writing this post.
In spite of the slashed pricing, when pitted against Google’s Chrome cast which can be picked up for Rs 2999, the Apple TV is expensive and bulky. It’s hard to swallow the fact that Apple actually got beat in the design department with this one. But the company’s focus in mainly on content for earning it the revenue it’s actually after.
The biggest argument in favour of laying out the cash for Apple’s product, may whip into submission those who live in the US, if they’re totally bonkers about Game of Thrones. The fifth season of the hit show will premiere this April 12 and fanatics can access it through the HBO Now channel only if they have an Apple TV and broadband Internet.
