The price increase applies across all regions where these iPhone models are currently available.

While Apple typically lowers the prices of previous-generation iPhones following a new launch, this marks a rare price increase, thanks to the ongoing memory supply crunch. Apple recently raised prices across several other product categories, including Macs, iPads, and HomePods.

In India, the iPhone 17 now starts at Rs 99,900 ($1,050), while the iPhone Air starts at Rs 1,49,900 ($1,575). The iPhone 17e has a starting price of Rs 79,900 ($840), while the iPhone 16 now starts at Rs 89,900 ($945).
