“Why are Indian iPhones more expensive in India than in the US?” He asked the Reddit user who shared detailed failures.
The list shows that the Apple iPhone 17 report is significantly cheaper compared to India. The price gaps are up to 29%.
Basic iPhone 17 that sells £82 900 in India, only stands £70 512 in the US, difference 15%. IPhone Air is £31 738 cheaper in the US while iPhone 17 Pro is almost £38 000 less.
The biggest gap is with iPhone 17 for Max, price for £1 49 900 in India but only £1.05 812 in the US, almost £44.088 (29%) cheaper.
However, another user explained the gap included. One of them explained that US prizes are “cited before tax”.
“For example, the $ 799 price in the US is a turnover tax that depends on every state in the US, between 0 and 10%. There is no MRP concept in the US. However, the price also includes tax.
The user later added a fix.
“Pro and for Max are expensive, because in India they are not yet produced and imported mainly, and therefore other duties increase the gap in the price,” added the user.
“It is really difficult for us to understand what it is like to have any MRP for products. How can shops literally decide what price they should sell something? The same for the other side. They are interested in how you can have the same price everywhere,” another user said.
Another user commented: “Since the difference in rate is different between models, you cannot say that it is due to taxation. 18% GST is the only tax on telephone phones.
