iPhone 17 Series Expected to Launch with Higher Prices in India

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is already generating buzz, and not just for its anticipated design updates and new features. As per new reports and leaks that have emerged in the past few days, the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup will see an increase in price over its predecessor in all global markets, including India. Such a hike is thought to be driven by inflation, rising production costs, and the various shifts in Apple’s supply chain.

iPhone 17 Series Expected to See Price Hike in India, Top Model May Cost Up to ₹1,59,999

This increase could leave an especially noticeable mark in India, where the iPhone pricing is already quite on the higher end after collecting many import duties and taxes. If you go by the current trend, along with Apple’s earlier practice of pricing, the iPhone 17 series has the potential to be Apple’s most costly series ever. Just to give you an estimate, the 128GB variant of the iPhone 17 is likely to be priced around ₹99,999.

A new model, possibly called the iPhone 17 Air, is expected to be introduced at ₹1,19,999. The iPhone 17 Pro may launch at ₹1,39,999, while the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max could reach as high as ₹1,59,999. These prices would mark a significant jump compared to the iPhone 15 and 16 generations. This addition indicates Apple could be gearing up to launch a core model with a focus on being lightweight and stylish, likely aimed at users who prefer an upscale design without fully committing to Pro-level specs.

Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro Max models should maintain high-end hardware and camera features. While Apple hasn’t confirmed the iPhone 17 lineup yet or pricing, we expect the official reveal in September 2025, per its usual release cycle. And as prices inch up, this will come with a need to work out trade-ins, bank deals, or EMI rates for buyers willing to move up. In the next few months, clarity should emerge as leaks still keep coming.
