Many Indian moible customers use more SIMs of different mobile operators that is why mulit SIM mobile phones are more popular in India. Apple should also consider to launch iPhones with multi SIM features, presently not a single model of iPhone support multi SIM.
The reason behind using multi SIM is that many mobile operators offers cheap call rates or unlimited free call on their own network.
