New Delhi: Apple has launched its water bottle which will cost Rs 4600 (approx) in India. The new water bottle named HidrateSpark is now listed on Apple’s official US website. Customers can also buy the newly launched water bottle from its retail stores in the US.

The Cupertino-based tech giant recently introduced the bottle after launching a cleaning cloth that costs around ₹1,900. And like last time, netizens are mocking the brand for introducing expensive products that no one asked for.

What’s so special about the Apple HidrateSpark water bottle?
