Times of India brought news that Apple is resurrecting the iPhone 4 earlier this year and now it brings news of its demise. One of the three leading Apple partners in the country said that the older model helped Apple doubled the user base.
That partner and two others reported that Apple will not be providing new supplies of the old model. The iPhone 4 will reportedly be discontinued in other regions where it was still available.
Apple's two budget models (the 4 and 4s rather than the 5c) helped the company reach record sales in India, China, Russia and Brazil.
The iPhone 4 served as an "ugly duckling" to make the 4s look better. Apple launched a buyback program that offered INR 7,500 back, which reduced the price gap between the iPhone 4 and 4s to just INR 3,000 ($50).
That buyback program is now over as the iPhone 4s becomes the new budget offering.
