New Delhi, Sep 13

The demand for Apple’s new iPhone 17 series is rising fast in India, with industry sources saying pre-orders have been stronger than last year.

The surge comes at a time when Apple has been steadily increasing its “Made in India” push, expanding both local manufacturing and retail presence in the country.

The iPhone 17 lineup starts at Rs 82,900 for the base 256GB model. The new iPhone Air, designed as a slimmer and more premium version, is priced at Rs 1,19,900.

The iPhone 17 Pro begins at Rs 1,34,900, while the top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max (256GB) costs Rs 1,49,900.

The base iPhone 17 now offers 256GB, double the 128GB that came with the iPhone 16. On a storage-to-storage comparison, the iPhone 17 is actually Rs 7,000 cheaper than the iPhone 16’s 256GB variant at launch.
