Apple may increase the iPhone 17 price in India. A new leak suggests a significant price jump. This follows a previous increase at launch. Apple removed the 128GB storage option then. It made 256GB the new starting storage. This initial change raised the base price.
Tipster Yogesh Brar shared this information. The standard iPhone 17 might cost more. The 256GB model could see a Rs 7,000 hike. The 512GB variant may also increase similarly. The new price would be around Rs 89,900. The higher storage model may reach Rs 1,09,900. This narrows its gap with the iPhone Air.
Rising component costs drive this change. Many smartphone brands increased prices this year. They cite more expensive hardware parts. The iQOO 15 had a massive price jump. Realme and Oppo also raised their prices. OnePlus adjusted costs for its models.
The base iPhone 17 has low stock. It received meaningful upgrades over iPhone 16. This unexpectedly boosted consumer demand. Supply cannot meet this high demand. Apple may adjust pricing to balance this. It is a simple supply-demand equation.
Apple’s possible bank discount options may ease some of the pressure associated with the price increase. However, it is unclear if these will become a reality. Apple has not made any official announcements or comments regarding the potential offer; this speculation has come from third-party sources that may have access to internal information about the company.
