iPhone 17 Faces Stock Shortages and Expected Price Increase in India
The iPhone 17 is experiencing stock shortages in India, with limited availability in both online and offline stores. Retail sources indicate that Apple may raise the iPhone 17 prices in India starting early August, following recent price hikes for MacBooks and iPads. Reports suggest the base 256GB model could increase by around Rs 12,000, with proportional rises expected for Pro models. The shortages and price adjustments are attributed to global component supply constraints affecting the smartphone market.
