The iPhone 18 Pro hits India at a staggering ₹1,64,900. That’s a massive ₹50,000 premium over US prices! Why the hike? Between 18% GST, heavy import duties, and complex distribution costs, the “India Tax” remains real.

Is it worth it? While expensive, local units guarantee warranty and service support. Skip the import risks; wait for festive bank offers to slash that cost.
