The Apple iPhone 15 series has been launched in India. The company has released 4 new models -- Apple iPhone 15, Apple iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. All these models have also been released internationally. It was reported that these Apple iPhones will be manufactured in India. There were expectations that the company would launch these phones at cheaper prices, in India. However, these hopes were dashed with the announcement of the prices.
The prices of Apple iPhone in Dubai are way less than the prices in India. Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is Rs 46000 cheaper in Dubai.
The company is not passing down any benefit to the people of India. This is because of high taxes levied in India on Apple products.
However, the manufacturing of Apple iPhones in India is great for the overall economy of the country. These phones also are a good source of revenue for the government as they are luxury items.
In India, the iPhone 15 Pro starts at a price of Rs 1,34,900 for the 128GB model and the iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at Rs 1,59,900 for the 256 GB model.
In Dubai, the iPhone 15 Pro is priced Rs 84,500. The iPhone 15 Pro Max now begins Rs 10,0100.
