Apple has sharply increased iPhone prices in India, with flagship models rising by about a fifth, including a 22% hike for the iPhone 18 Pro. The price revision affects models from iPhone 17 to the new iPhone 18. The iPhone 17 base variant rose 20.5% to ₹99,900, while the iPhone 18 Pro starts at ₹1,64,900. The iPhone Air saw the largest increase at 40.6%, and the foldable iPhone Duo is priced between ₹2,99,900 and ₹4,49,900. The hikes, ranging from 20-30%, far exceed the global increase of 8-10%. Contributing factors include the rupee's depreciation against the dollar, higher production costs, a 20% import duty on the iPhone Duo, and rising memory chip prices. The higher prices may significantly impact sales during the upcoming festive season.
