Apple hikes iPhone Prices in India: iPhone 16, 17e, 17 and Air Get Costlier

Apple increased the prices of existing iPhone models immediately after launching the iPhone 18 Pro models and the iPhone Duo on Wednesday.

There had earlier been rumours that Apple would raise prices across the iPhone 17 lineup due to rising memory and storage chip costs.

Apple has increased prices for several iPhone models, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 17e, iPhone 17 and iPhone Air.

With the introduction of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The increase varies by model and storage configuration. The iPhone Air 1TB has seen the largest increase, rising by ₹65,000 from ₹1,59,900 to ₹2,24,900.

The iPhone 16 128GB is now ₹20,000 more expensive. The iPhone 17e has seen increases of ₹15,000 for the 256GB variant and ₹20,000 for the 512GB variant, while the iPhone 17 is up by ₹17,000 and ₹22,000, respectively.

The iPhone Air has received the steepest hikes across its storage options: ₹30,000 for the 256GB model, ₹35,000 for the 512GB model and ₹65,000 for the 1TB model.
