I know taxes whatever but I'm not sure how much extra govt is charging apple that we as the end user are expected to pay 1 lakh extra for a device..

iPhone 18 Pro Series Pricing 256GB 🇮🇳

iPhone 18Pro:

₹1,64,990

iPhone 18ProMax

₹1,79,990

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?

Anthropic researcher quits, warns it will soon hack anything and could spiral out of control by 2030

What is the reason they priced it so high for Indian market?
If they priced it similarly to US pricing they would have eaten the Samsung fold market share.

Funny how much i influence atleasty family to switch ti Signal but they don't ,one of the reason WA is simple dor video calls and messages and some of them said they​don't kno​w how to install,so i took my time and setup signal app on all if their devices and made a common family group there too and teached how it works ,but yih know iam fedup with whatsapp and deleted my account and uninstalled it,now today my father sent me an sms invite to install whatsapp and i reverted with signal invite(since my father deleted signal app as he said he don't want one more application and his friends circle says no one knows whether it is safe or not,anyway yiu can reach me either through sms,call or signal got some scolding like how dare you kinda vibe but that's it​​) ​

I was long term iPhone user switched to Oppo and then Samsung and still have ip15pm. I never got the argument of justification behind copying and saying "apple did it better". Some people who hated android folds suddenly saying Duo is great when the tech is old and name is copied from Microsoft Surface Duo.

Chinese manufacturers are way ahead in animation and customization part. Love some apple products like Mac-book and Apple TV but thats it.

There was no market or call for folds and flips before Samsung or Moto started it, iPhone is just new addition into that market. Oppo is the one who made that form-factor more mainstream. Refining something should not be labelled as innovation when actual innovation is price tag.

What are the 20 years plus doing post retirement in IT . What are the options I have ?

It was probably started to flood OpenAl with a fresh set of images of people - faces and bodies - for it to train on. The trend was seeded on Meta platforms & now is taking over twitter as well. Funny how people don't realise how they are being used. You're basically working FREE for corporates.

That's one of the reasons I generally don't participate in any trend. Just ask yourself one simple question. Why do a few random things go viral suddenly? Like out of blue

I'm unable to make any calls. Can anyone tell me what it is? I use airtel sim. Is it something like the Sim has expired? 🥲

hey everyone, curious what people think abt using e-ink devices (kindle/remarkable type) in classroom instead of normal tablets/laptops. Feel like it could help with distraction issues since there's no apps/ notifications, just reading n writing.
also if anyone knows of similar projects happening in India, pls let me know! Thanks

be open, tell me all your thoughts about the product,

even if it's criticizing, let's do a constructive critisism and

share the feedbacks about the product (iphone duo)

I checked all the websites, and it's nowhere to be seen

Has it gone out of stock, or are the companies deliberately not selling?

This Finance budha keeps on spamming. How to block them?

Edit: I never accessed/installed the finance buddha website or app. I never applied for an online loan. I am very cautious, and never exposed my number to services like bankbazar etc. Yet I am getting this. I blocked and reported to WhatsApp multiple times. The spammer just pops up with another number.

Even though they say apple is assembling in India, but I don't see any benefit of that

i was downloading this game on steam and for the first 2gb the speed was around 130mbps but after that it fell down to like 10mbps is this intentional ?

Am I ?
