Sprint Unveils $1 Plan Ahead of iPhone 6s Launch

Sprint Corp announced a $1 per month plan for Apple Inc's new iPhone, upping the ante in a battle among top US carriers to sign up customers ahead of the phone's launch on Friday.

Sprint said on Thursday customers can get a 16 GB iPhone 6s for $1 (roughly Rs. 66) per month and an iPhone 6s Plus for $5 (roughly Rs. 330) a month, when trading in an iPhone 6.

"(The iPhone launch) is the day a lot of consumers choose who's going to be their carrier ... we wanted to make sure we have the best iPhone offer," Sprint's Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Claure said in an interview.

Pre-orders of the new device were "healthy," he added without providing details.

Competition in the US wireless industry has been heating up and the launch of the newest iPhones offers a chance for carriers to lure customers away from competitors.

In a race for subscribers, Sprint, which posted 57.7 million customers at the end of the last quarter ended June 30, slipped to fourth place among US wireless carriers, falling behind T-Mobile US Inc, which reported 58.9 million customers for the same period.

Rival T-Mobile is offering the 16 GB iPhone 6s for $5 per month in exchange for an iPhone 6, 6 Plus or Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 versions.

Apple said it was offering its own financing scheme for an unlocked iPhone, which gives a customer the liberty to switch between carriers, rather than be tied down by a contract with one carrier.

Saavn Claims 10-Fold Increase in Daily Active Users in India

Digital music streaming services company Saavn on Thursday said that it has seen a ten-fold increase in daily active users in India in the last one year, and has recorded over 250 million streams a month.

Saavn, which currently has a global team of 145 employees across five offices, said it now has 18 million monthly active users, and over 20 million songs.

The company also said that former Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin has joined the company as a investor and strategic advisor. His joining comes on the heels of the company's latest funding round in July where it accumulated $100 million (roughly Rs. 660 crores).

Saavn's Series C round was led by Tiger Global Management, with participation from Bertelsmann India Investments, Steadview Capital, Liberty Media, Mousse Partners, Quilvest, and additional Hong Kong-based hedge funds.

"As CEO of the global telecom giant Vodafone plc, Sarin was one of the first to predict the mass adoption of mobile phones in emerging markets. His support for Saavn underscores a similar trend underway in the music industry," said Saavn co-founder and CEO Rishi Malhotra.

"With over 90 percent of our usage driven by smartphones, Saavn users are moving data plan transactions and driving data engagement at an incredible pace. In the coming months, you'll see us work more deeply with carriers in India and additional territories," he added.

"Music streaming is a core app on today's smartphones, and Saavn is superbly positioned to grow rapidly in the fast expanding smartphone market in India. As an innovative and nimble music streaming company, at the heart of one of the world's most valuable markets, Saavn hits all the right notes. I look forward to working with the Saavn team on the company's continued progress," Sarin said.
