Apple iPhone 17 lineup price in India higher than US; Here’s where you can save

The highly anticipated iPhone 17 series has officially launched in India, featuring the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air. Notably, the entry-level iPhone 17 now boasts 256GB of storage, a significant upgrade from the previous model's capacity. Available for purchase since September 19, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores, the new lineup comes with a slight price increase. The iPhone 17 begins at ₹82,900, while the pricing for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max is set at ₹134,900 and ₹149,900, respectively. These prices are notably higher than those in the United States, where the devices can be found at much lower rates. For instance, the iPhone 17 is priced around ₹70,500 in the US, while in Dubai it costs approximately ₹81,700, and in the UK, it’s around ₹87,900. The iPhone 17 Air starts at ₹88,200 in the US and varies in price across other regions, with the iPhone 17 Pro priced at ₹97,000 in the US compared to ₹120,900 in the UK. Interestingly, pricing differences extend beyond just the US. Countries like Canada, Japan, and Australia offer competitive rates, while European nations such as France and Germany may show slightly elevated prices compared to India. With the US consistently showcasing the most affordable options, Indian consumers might find it worthwhile to ask friends or family traveling from abroad to bring back these devices instead of purchasing them locally. Stay tuned for further updates on the iPhone 17's features and expected performance as users explore their options in the market.
