Why might prices rise in India?
You may be wondering: “Why are iPhones getting so expensive?” In fact, the prices of global components such as chips and cameras have increased and India also charges import duty. Experts say that Apple is increasing production in India to reduce the impact but taxes are still heavy. That is why the price of Apple iPhone 17 may be higher in India than last year.
iPhone 17 lineup – which one is right for you?
iPhone 17 : An all-rounder phone with a 6.1-inch display and A19 Bionic/Pro chip. No heavy specifications, just a perfect smartphone feel.
iPhone 17 Air : Very thin (about 5.5 mm), 6.6 inch screen. Its slim design and price of around ₹ 89,900 are being liked by the people.
Pro models : 8 to 12 GB RAM, better camera and great display. If you are fond of photos or videos or just want the best, then choose Pro or Pro Max.
Design and features – not just price, but also experience
There is talk of features like Sony style camera bar, small Dynamic Island and under screen Face ID in Pro models. The base models will get A19 chip and better 48 MP camera. If you record everything like me then 8K video is coming in Pro Max which can really be a game changer.
Difference in prices compared to last year
Last year, the price of iPhone 16 started at ₹ 79,900. Now in the new lineup, the price of the base Apple iPhone 17 can start from ₹ 89,900 i.e. an increase of up to ₹ 10,000. In the Pro category, you may have to pay ₹ 10,000 to ₹ 20,000 more. This is not just inflation but a combination of technology and tax.
When will it be available for purchase in India?
After the global launch, sales can start in India in a few days. Pre-orders start a few days after the event and it can come to stores by 19 September 2025. Keep an eye on EMI and bank offers on Flipkart and Amazon.

Should you upgrade at this “Apple iPhone 17 price”?
If you have an iPhone 14 or older and don’t need a high-end camera or 8K video, skip this time. But if you want the slim design of the Air, the AI power of the A19, or the camera of the Pro Max, now is the time.
Which model am I most excited about
I’m loving the minimalist design of the iPhone 17 Air. Having a lightweight and stylish phone is a huge plus in today’s times. And the under-screen Face ID on the Pro Max is that little “wow” factor that makes me say, “I’ve got to get this.”
Final Words
So the bottom line is that the price of Apple iPhone 17 will be higher this time but along with that you will also get better design camera and performance. The price of the base model can start from ₹ 89,900, Pro can go up to around ₹ 1.3 lakh and Pro Max can go up to ₹ 1.65 lakh. Your choice depends on what you want style camera or power.
