iPhone Price In India: Whenever Apple launches a new iPhone, its prices start being compared in India and abroad. In September last year, the company launched the iPhone 17 series. Despite the increase in manufacturing costs, the company did not change the prices of this series of iPhones. The starting price of this series in India is Rs 82,999, while in America this series starts from $ 799 (approximately Rs 74,400). There is always a difference in the price of iPhone in America and India. Very few people know the reason behind this. Today we are going to tell you why iPhones are costlier in India than in America.
What is the difference in price of iPhone?
The more premium the iPhone model is, the more expensive it will be to buy it in India compared to America. Talking about iPhone 17 Pro models, their price in India is 25-30 thousand rupees more than in America. This is also when Apple is manufacturing most of its models in India. Then what are the reasons why one has to pay more for iPhone in India?
Why are iPhones expensive in India?
The first and biggest reason why iPhones are expensive in India is that the company decides the price by including tax in India, whereas tax is not included in the American price. In India, there is 18 percent tax on mobile devices, which makes the price higher. Even though Apple is manufacturing iPhones in India, there are import tariffs on many of the parts used in it. The Government of India has removed some such taxes, but still it has some impact on the price. The third reason is the position of the rupee. Apple also has to take care of the rupee situation. In case of weak rupee, the price of iPhone will be expensive in India.
Are iPhones the most expensive in India?
The prices of iPhone in India are higher than in America, but iPhones are not the most expensive here. In many other countries of the world, customers have to pay much higher prices for iPhone than in India. The price of iPhone 17 Pro in India is Rs 1,34,900. The same iPhone is available for around Rs 2.26 lakh in Turkey, Rs 2.03 lakh in Brazil, Rs 1.56 lakh in Norway and Rs 1.51 lakh in Hungary.
