The Story in Brief
Apple could raise prices of new and existing iPhone models by $100, or about Rs 10,000, from September 8, Business Today reports, citing tipster Yogesh Brar. The claim has not been confirmed by Apple. The reported increase comes as DRAM and NAND costs rise, with chipmakers directing more supply towards AI data centres.
The iPhone 17, iPhone Air and iPhone 17e could remain on sale after the iPhone 18 Pro launch. Their current India starting prices are Rs 82,900, Rs 1,19,900 and Rs 64,900. A Rs 10,000 increase would take them to about Rs 92,900, Rs 1,29,900 and Rs 74,900. These are estimates, not official prices.
The Indian Opinion
The easy claim that Apple will certainly make every iPhone costlier is premature. This is an unconfirmed tip, and currency movements, taxes and Apple’s India pricing strategy could alter the final numbers. Yet higher memory costs offer a credible reason for a change, especially after price increases across some Mac, iPad and smart-home products. Buyers should compare official prices before and after September 8, rather than rely on a rumoured Rs 10,000 increase.
