The company lists the smartphone with a 'coming soon' tag and has all three storage variants of the handset available in Gold, Silver, and Space Grey colours. Notably, Airtel does not list the iPhone 6.
It's worth noting that Bharti Airtel had launched the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in India last year. The iPhone 6 Plus listing was first spotted by TelecomTalk.
Apple is widely expected to launch the new bigger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in India this month, on October 17. Ahead of any official announcement regarding the India launch of the new iPhones, the smartphone made its way through grey market. Few vendors via online retailers are offering the iPhone 6 at a starting price of Rs. 56,000.
It's worth noting that Apple had been going back-and-forth on the India launch date of the iPhone 6. On the day of global unveiling, September 9, the company had listed on its website that the iPhone 6 would be available in India on September 26. However, the company soon after changed the launch day to October 17 on the Apple India website. NDTV Gadgets later spotted that the iPhone 6 launch date was completely removed from the website.
Apple, after making iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus available in launch countries of United States, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, made the handsets available to buy in over 20 markets worldwide in the last week on September. Apple plans to roll out the new iPhone devices to as many as 115 countries this year.
On the opening weekend, Apple revealed that it sold more than 10 million of its new iPhone models globally, setting a new record for opening weekend sales of its smartphone.
The iPhone 6 features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 750x1334 pixels offering a pixel density of 326ppi. The iPhone 6 Plus on the other hand comes with a 5.5-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels and a pixel density of 401ppi.
Both the new iPhone models pack the latest Apple A8 processor with 64-bit architecture and M8 second-generation motion coprocessor. Both will be available in 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage versions.
