Cupertino giant, Apple, has increased prices of three iPhone models in India. Apple’s high-end iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 11 Pro received price hike, while the more the two-year-old iPhone 8 also got an increase in the country. The new price hike is the result of an increase in basic customs duty (BCD) in Budget 2020. Notably, Apple did not hike the prices of iPhone 7 and iPhone XR as they are made in India. Thankfully, the best-selling iPhone 11 too did not receive any price hike and it still starts at Rs 64,900. After the increase in prices, the iPhone 11 Pro now starts at Rs Rs 1,01,200, up from its launch price of Rs 99,900. The iPhone 11 Pro Max, on the other hand, starts at Rs 1,11,200, which is an increase from Rs 1,09,900. The new prices are already effective across online and offline stores in India.
