Today’s the day!! Yep, just today is the launch of the iPhone 17 series devices at Apple’s event. There are rumours and leaks about all four devices that Apple is expected to launch, which have revealed almost everything about these devices. The Tech industry is buzzing with excitement for the “Biggest Tech Event” of the year. However, since almost everything about the iPhone 17 series is known, people however are skeptical about the prices of the smartphone. So here is everything we know about the prices of the smartphones in India, US and UAE from trustworthy sources and leaks.
According to industry analyst firm Techarc the base iPhone 17 model will start at Rs. 86,000 – a notable uptick from the iPhone 16’s launch price of Rs. 79,900. This estimate comes amid ongoing currency fluctuations and Apple’s shift toward local manufacturing in India.
Exchange Rates affecting prices!
Techarc’s analysis highlights a strong positive correlation between iPhone launch prices in India and the USD-INR exchange rate. Over the years, iPhone prices have risen at an average annual rate of approximately 7.6 percent, while the rupee has depreciated against the dollar at about 5.2 percent annually. Factoring in exchange rate adjustments, the real annual price increase for iPhones in India stands at a modest 2.4 percent. This tempered growth, the firm claims, underscores Apple’s strategy to maintain premium positioning without alienating its growing Indian user base.
