The iPhone 18 Pro has arrived, but the global price gap is staggering. While US buyers snag it for ₹1,14,145, Indian customers pay a premium of ₹1,64,900. Why the disparity? Steep import duties, local taxes, and currency shifts inflate costs significantly. Think twice before buying abroad; eSIM-only models and limited warranty support make local authorized purchases the smarter, safer bet for 2026 tech enthusiasts.
