Apple Raises Prices of Older iPhone Models in India After iPhone 18 Pro Launch
Following the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro series, Apple has increased prices for several older iPhone models in India. The iPhone 17's base 256GB variant rose by Rs 17,000 to Rs 99,900, while the iPhone 17e and iPhone 16 also saw hikes of Rs 15,000 and Rs 20,000 respectively. The iPhone Air experienced the largest increase, up to Rs 65,000 on some variants. Apple discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, and the price rises reflect market adjustments amid supply constraints and memory shortages.
