Apple has raised iPhone prices in India, taking the iPhone 17 256GB from ₹82,900 to ₹99,900, an increase of about 21%, Business Today reported on September 10, 2026.
The rise came shortly after Apple’s September event, and also covers the iPhone Air and iPhone 17e. Apple did not give a reason in the report. A July tip had pointed to a 17% rise, so the actual increase turned out larger. Details are based on Beebom and TelecomTalk.

What this means for buyers
The iPhone 17e at ₹79,900 now costs nearly what the iPhone 17 did before the rise. The 1TB iPhone Air took the largest increase, at ₹65,000.
Sellers may still hold some stock at different prices, and bank or exchange offers can shift the final amount. Anyone planning to buy should compare the effective price on the day.
Apple also raised Mac, iPad and HomePod prices in India in June, and Apple Music in July. Android brands have raised prices too, as our report on rising smartphone prices shows.
Why it matters for mobile shops
Check dealer prices before quoting, as customers may remember the old price or see an old listing. Stock bought earlier could give some shops a short-term advantage. Higher new prices may also lift demand for used and refurbished iPhones, so exchange and resale conversations become more useful.
Correction (November 1, 2026): An earlier version said Apple warned of a 17% rise. Apple gave no such warning. That figure was a tip, and the actual rise was about 21%.
