Earlier this month, rumors were rife about the 8GB variant of the so called cheap iPhone 5C. If going by the BGR.in reports, Apple has already started shipping the handset in India at the price of Rs. 37,500.

According to the report, Apple is also giving Rs. 3,000 discount on the purchase of the 8GB iPhone 5c as an inaugural offer, which means the phone will be available at Rs. 34,500 for a limited time. Additionally, you will also be getting a free Apple iPhone 5c case worth Rs. 2,300 with the handset.
