Not bad considering the build quality of Apple products and for people who really don't care about raw processing.
If the phone is available at 15,000 INr , then it's really not that bad. At least people who are looking for smartphones with stability and smaller footprints can have one more choice.
Though , it's outdated but then you can't expect to have the latest phone for 15k .
Some people really have problems with Apple's products. Isn't 15k , cheap enough for an Apple's smartphone ?

guys decisions are based of big data 
..
which indicates a demand, hence this supply..
stop thinking only from a tech pov..if people want trash, you sell trash and get rich. i.e stop being a n00b at everything else in life.. except tech.

Why not lower the price of iPhone 4s, rather than force people (looking to go apple at cheapest possible price) into buying something released early 2010

^^I agree. Why do we have to see everything from our perspective . Do you really think it's wise for some users to spend their hard earned money on features they don't need or want ??
Just for the sake of a milisecond of lag , you may be willing to spend couple of extra thousand bucks on newest technology but not everybody has that desire and lumps of money.
Don't be biased guys , appreciate innovation , and the market . Don't try to promote only what you like or want.
2-3 years from now market would be populated with 2k or maybe 4k displays , driven by monstrous processing package. And yeah of course they would be priced exceptionally.
Would you bad-mouth the decision of selling 720p 4" screen with moderately powerful package , 2-3 years from now , just because the phones in that time are primarily carrying 4k displays ??

Its a business not a charity! Profits are maximum at a particular price point.. anything lower or higher results in lesser profits.
Profit maximization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A new business may forgo max profits to gain market and mind share. But an established business has shareholders to answer to and only cares for max profits.
Every big gaming company cares only for profits. Not selling cheap games. You may have noticed this.

now retarded Apple fanboys will say that this will compete with Moto G
Apple still thinks of India as a dumping ground. They should've lowered 4s' price instead of relaunching iphone 4.
Ok whats the diff between a 3 year old iphone and a mid range droid? How come other companies can offer a phone at every price point but apple cant sell previous year phones?
The five year old phone still runs most apps. These phones age slowly. 3GS enjoyed a production run of 3 whole years. Thats the timespan for 10 versions of S.
Theres more to it than brand. Like batman edition of lumia sells on brand value in the sense being used here. Porsche edition of bb sells on brand. Armani edition of sammy sells on brand. Apple has other things going for it.

Apple is a brand name in itself. Everyone knows Apple and everyone goes gaga over it. That is why they never need to do dumbshit like Batman edition Lumia to sell their phones. But Apple needs to make its app ecosystem a little more open so that more apps could be developed. Only then they could make a serious dent on the Android's market share.
The only thing that non-techies will go head over heals is that they are getting an iPhone for around 15k. I think these would sell like hot cakes.
You want apple to not have quality control. Sure the app selection process is a little random, but it still pays out developers more. Whats the diff then. You cant say droid way is the right way only, every single aspect of the ecosystem is designed for penetration.
They may be a brand, but its not just the logo that sells the product, which is true for ferrari, porsche, versace, d&g, armani versions of gadgets
Plus, the 3gs was available for 19k, refurb / exhange offer for 14.
You could always get second hand phones, so its not like an apple is out of reach if you really want one.
There are few non biased reasons not to get one

By openess I mean releasing APIs for Windows and Linux as well so that more people could develop apps with ease, without the strict requirement to own a Mac. Apple does not have to compromise its QC policies and they can get more apps for their app store.

If you can generate enough profit staying close why on earth you would go open. Moreover this is totally off topic to the current context. iOS might be least developer friendly platform but that does not matter to you unless you are an app developer.
Now all the techies here, please do a little research. All the mid range android phone does not come with latest high end hardware, so in that point of view iPhone 4 is not medieval. But its true this is Apple's cheap move to capture mid range market in India.
some aspects may be painful for developers, but they do make the most $$$$ out of iOS
it's also dead convenient in the sense they only have to check if the app works on like max 7 devices instead of 4000+ and counting unique devices
yep, back end is closed. that's a weird detail that does not matter to the end user. donno if it would be better or not for all involved if that changed.
instead of making 10 phones a year, apple sells last 3 years phones. why exactly is that a rotten move. in fact, at this point the lineup of all other oems seem like spamming a range of devices to capture every price point. nothing will make haters happy. you want apple to get a cheap phone. you want apple not to dump. you dont want the non dumped cheaper version because it is not that cheap, or paradoxically, the costlier version is not that much costlier. mmx is too cheap. apple is too costly. wow. there must be like 1 device everyone has to have then, or else they are mentally challenged nub stupid fanbois. which one is this phone?
these iphones 4 will prolly ship with iOS7 instead of 6, might be a bummer for some fanbois who like 6 better.
