Analyst: India's iPhone 17 Pro Costs Most
If you want to buy the iPhone 17 Pro in India, it will cost you more than in other countries.
Research analyst Sujay U. explains the high price is due to import taxes, a lack of local manufacturing, and Apple positioning the product as a luxury item in India.
Also, the value of the Indian rupee is lower than the U.S. dollar.
This makes the price higher in India even though India is a large market for Apple products.
The iPhone 17 Pro (256GB) costs ₹1,34,900 in India.
Prices are lower in countries like the US, Japan, Singapore, and UAE.
High import duties and GST contribute to the higher price.
Most high-end iPhones are imported, incurring import taxes.
Apple prices iPhones as a luxury item in India.
