Apple India has decided to increase the prices of its complete iPhone lineup, and govt of India is to blame for the same. Govt of India has hiked the import duty tax from 10 percent to 15 percent, which has directly hit Indian iPhone enthusiasts very hard. Here is the complete coverage of Indian iPhones new prices.

If we look at the new prices, except for the Apple iPhone SE (which is assembled in India) every other smartphone has seen a price hike. In fact, the 4-year-old Apple iPhone 6 has also seen a price hike. The Apple iPhone 6 has seen a price hike from ₹29,500 to ₹30,780 with 4.3% price hike. If we look at the most popular titles, the Apple iPhone X, the price of the 64 GB model has been increased from ₹89,000 to ₹92,430 and the costliest 128 GB model will now retail for ₹1,05,720 instead of ₹1,02,000.

There are no price hikes for the iPads or Macs. So, these prices are effective from today. As 88 iPhones of 100 iPhones sold in India are imported models, so, by inducing higher price tag govt India is stressing Apple to assemble iPhones in India. After this incident, Apple might assemble the upcoming Apple iPhones in India to save 15 percent import tax. Do note that, these are MRP prices and one can still buy these iPhones at a much lower price on online e-commerce websites like Amazon and Flipkart.

Here are the complete details on the new and old pricing of the Apple iPhones:

We speculated that the, Apple might decrease the prices of iPhone by the time of new year, however, instead of slash, we got all new hiked prices. Finally, its time for Apple to assemble its phones in India, which will enable them to offer iPhones at a much lower price tag.
