This is the second price hike on Apple iPhones this year in the country, after Apple increased the price of iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max smartphones in the country last month due to increase in import duty. The entry-level iPhone 7 32GB now costs Rs. 31,500, compared to Rs. 29,900 older price and the high-end iPhone 11 Pro Max 512GB version now costs Rs. 1,50,800, compared to the previous price of Rs. 1,43,200, which is about 5.3% increase for both.
