    "articleBody": "Apple has increased the price of its iPhone 17 by more than 20% in India after unveiling the iPhone 18 series. This rise in cost reflects a broader trend of price hikes across Apple’s smartphone range in the country, industry experts say.\n\nThe price adjustment comes as Apple launched the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, prompting a revision of earlier models’ prices. The hike of over 20% on the iPhone 17 marks a significant increase for Indian consumers. Experts note that this is part of a wider pattern of rising prices for Apple devices in India.\n\nAmong the new pricing details, the iPhone 17 is now priced at ₹82,900 and ₹99,900 for different variants, while the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models are priced at ₹1,49,900 and ₹1,34,900 respectively. Other models, including the iPhone Duo, have also seen price increases, with some crossing ₹4 lakh in total cost.\n\nIndustry analysts highlight that Apple is not alone in raising prices; the trend is seen across several smartphone brands. The price hikes reflect factors such as currency fluctuations, import duties, and supply chain costs. The increase of about 20% on the iPhone 17 contrasts with some reports suggesting up to 40%, but the confirmed figure is the lower one.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nApple raises prices of iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air and iPhone 16\nApple Launches iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro in India\nApple CEO John Ternus unveils new iPhone lineup with AI focus\nStrengthening of Indian Stock Market Due to Rally in US Market\n\nConsumers can expect these higher prices to impact the market in the coming months, especially as newer models become available.
