Apple has increased the price of its iPhones, including its iPhone 11 series, iPhone 8 series, iPhone 7 series and iPhone XR and XS in India after the increase in GST from 12% to 18% on mobile phones starting today, April 1st, 2020. This is the second price hike on Apple iPhones this year in the country, after Apple increased the price of iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max smartphones in the country last month due to increase in import duty.
The entry-level iPhone 7 32GB now costs Rs. 31,500, compared to Rs. 29,900 older price and the high-end iPhone 11 Pro Max 512GB version now costs Rs. 1,50,800, compared to the previous price of Rs. 1,43,200, which is about 5.3% increase for both. The price hike varies from 5.15% to 5.3% for the iPhone depending on the models.
Even though Apple sets a standard MRP, some third-party retailers sell the smartphones at cheaper rates. So you can get it online at cheaper even after this price hike. Check out the change in price below.
