Apple Set to Raise iPhone 17 Prices in India by Rs 12,000 Soon

If you're considering purchasing the new iPhone 17, brace yourself for a potential price hike in the near future. Reports suggest that Apple is preparing to increase the cost of the iPhone 17 series in India, a move that follows a recent price adjustment for iPhones in Japan. This anticipated change comes on the heels of several other price increases by the tech giant this year, affecting various products including MacBooks, iPads, and accessories. According to insights shared by well-known tipster Abhishek Yadav on social media platform X, Apple has communicated to its iPlanet dealers that the entry-level price for the iPhone 17 could rise to Rs 94,990 starting from the first week of August. This represents a significant increase of Rs 12,000 from the initial launch price of Rs 82,990. However, Apple has yet to officially verify this information.

In addition to the standard iPhone 17, it appears that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max may also experience similar price adjustments, although specific figures for these models have not been disclosed. The report indicates that Apple has informed its supply chain that new stocks of the iPhone will begin arriving at dealers by next weekend. Currently, the availability of the iPhone 17 is reportedly limited across India, with many physical retailers facing stock shortages, complicating the purchasing process for customers seeking specific variants. If these reports hold true, consumers eyeing the iPhone 17 should monitor pricing closely in the upcoming days.
