iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c greeted by long queues in India ahead of official launch


Apple and its partners are set to unveil the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in India on Friday evening. While the official launch is slated for 5pm local time, when stores are expected to open their gates for the first set of customers, that hasn't stopped people from queueing up.


Twitter users are sharing pictures of people queueing up at stores of Apple's retail partners where the phone will be available later in the day.

iPhone 5s comes with the Apple-designed A7 64-bit chip, all-new 8 megapixel iSight camera with True Tone flash and Touch ID fingerprint sensor. iPhone 5c features an all-new design, comes in multiple colours and packs internals almost identical to the iPhone 5.
