This is the amount of tax you have to pay on your new iPhones

The only surprise about Iphone in India expensive is something that people still wonder about that. Apple is a coveted brand and Iphone is its flagship product, so think about it. Apple is a trillion dollar company boasting top products across categories. There are Apple Watch, AirPods Max, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, HomePod, iPad Pro, iPad, etc. However, the iPhone is the absolute jewel, being its most conspicuous product, the one that sells the most. and fill Apple’s inventory like no other product. So why is it still a surprise that iPhones cost so much? This is Apple’s most ambitious product yet, so it’s going to cost a lot because it requires a premium like very few other products do. Rs 1.39 lakh for a smartphone – that’s the starting price of iPhone 14 Pro Max – is pretty much. But why is it so much and it seems a little more in India?
Yes, it is actually a lot more expensive in India. Because Apple has to pay customs duty on iPhones in India, this tax is passed on to the customer. Don’t forget there is 18% GST, which is currently payable for almost anything in India.
Don’t forget the fact that companies like Apple always keep currency depreciation in mind while deciding the price of their products. So while iPhone 14″ can cost $799 in the US, around Rs 65,000 less when converted directly to the popular dollar rate, which costs more in India.
Although Apple will manufacture the iPhone 14 in India, its cost is not likely to drop. That’s because Apple actually ends up assembling the iPhone in India instead of making it domestically.
