iPhones manufactured within India are now reaching retail stores in the country, but one of the primary benefits of local production hasn't immediately been realized. The units aren't any cheaper and so far Apple isn't heavily promoting the existence of its local smartphones.

Apple is partly manufacturing within India to fulfill requirements that'll enable it to open retail stores. But another upside to local manufacturing is that a price reduction should be possible.

These units have started appearing in stores around the country just a day after Apple confirmed production had begun.
