The newly launched iPhone 8 and 8 plus will be supporting Hindi dictation, the tech giant’s Chief Executive Tim Cook said on Friday.

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus will be available for ₹64,000 onwards.

“We got a new keyboard for India and we now support 11 local languages. The iPhone now takes dictation in Hindi,” he said in a video message.

The message from Cook was played at an event at Reliance Jio’s corporate headquarters here, where the Mukesh Ambani-led company announced a slew of offers for the latest series of iPhones.

Jio launched a buyback scheme, offering a 70% discount for customers to upgrade handsets after a year.

“We promise a 70 per cent buyback for iPhone 8, 8+ and 10, after one year,” Jio’s director, and Ambani’s son, Akash Ambani, said at the launch.

This offer can be availed by customers opting for a plan of ₹799 per month or above. “This offer not only makes the device much more affordable but also enables customers to upgrade to newer models after utilising the buyback schemes,” a company statement said.

In a video message, Mukesh Ambani said Jio’s partnership with Apple will deliver “best value” and a better customer experience.
