Apple iPhone Duo's High Price Sparks Comparisons with Travel and Purchases AbroadPreviousNext

Apple's iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable phone, is priced at Rs 2,99,900 in India, sparking comparisons with international travel and purchases. Some suggest flying to the US or Thailand to buy the phone could save money despite travel costs, while others note additional taxes and expenses may offset savings. The high price has also led to comparisons with international holidays and adventure motorcycles available within the same budget, highlighting the device's premium positioning in India.
