iPhone 17 price hike India: When Apple's new series comes out, the old model gets cheaper. We always think like this. But now the picture is different. With the launch of iPhone 18 Pro and its first foldable phone, the company has drastically increased the price of iPhone 17 in India. iPhone 17 Price Hike:

The iPhone 17, which was earlier launched at Rs 82,900, has now gone directly to Rs 99,900. That is, their price increased by 17 thousand rupees. Meanwhile, the previous price of iPhone Air was 1,19,900, now its price has increased to 1,49,900, which means that you have to pay almost 30 thousand rupees more.

When did this price increase?

September 9 in Cupertino Apple A big event called 'Surprise and Shine' was held. New CEO John Turnus launched the iPhone 18 Pro series and the first iPhone Duo on stage. Right before the show ended, the company quietly increased the prices of the old phones in India. This time Apple has played a different trick. They did not launch the simple base model of iPhone 18.

The next phone of iPhone Air was not brought. So now if you want to buy a new iPhone but don't want to go for the Pro, then the only option left for you is the iPhone 17. This is what the company wanted.

According to a report by Counterpoint,

iPhone 17 has become Apple's best selling phone till date. The series alone has grossed over $170 billion in its first year alone. So their plan is to keep the base model off and make people buy back the 17. It is said that the simple model of iPhone 18 will not come until the middle of 2027. Not only this, Apple has also stopped making the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Now we will get only the goods that are left in the shop, no new ones will come. In fact, everyone already thought that this price increase will happen. There is a shortage of memory chips everywhere, so all the Android companies had already raised prices.

Now Apple has come in the same line. As always, iPhone in India is much more expensive than in America. The price of iPhone 18 Pro in America is 1199 dollars, which means you had 1 lakh 14 thousand. But in India the same phone sells for 1,64,900.
