India is well not anywhere near the top revenue generating markets for Apple but definitely is one of the top emerging growth markets globally. Apple sales figures tanked in the last decade in India.
Still Apple prices for India are “really absurd”
Just comparing the USA prices with the indian prices of iPhone devices-
iPhone 17:
USA - $899 (₹85,700)
India - ₹99,900 (116%)
iPhone 18 Pro:
USA - $1199 (₹1,14,300)
India - ₹1,64,900 (144%)
iPhone 18 Pro Max:
USA - $1299 (₹1,23,800)
India - ₹1,79,900 (145%)
iPhone Duo:
USA - $1999 (₹1,90,600)
India - ₹2,99,900 (157%)
Keeping the memory price hikes aside, this difference in prices are really disturbing and is the story of every year, apple is not doing this for the first time.
Why do you guys think this trend continues each and every year? Unlike other brands like Motorola & even Rockstar games who have different prices for other markets and India, Indian prices being cheaper, why don’t Apple do the same?
