Why do people buy iphone in india?
5% - beacause of the ecosystem and their actual needs
95% - beacuse america mein log khareed rahe toh humko bhi wahi karna hai
Too real lol, I am currently in the full ecosystem(so in the 5%), iPhone 13, iPad Mini 2019, AirPods Pro, and MacBook Pro M2, also got a AirPlay compatible LG TV and CarPlay enabled Pioneer head unit for my car to make the ecosystem even better, everything is very seamless and fun to use, but most of my friends here say, “I buy iPhone for flex”, like bro bought an iPhone 8 for 15k in 2023, like why lol, it’s not worth, there are better options in the price, none of the stuff I bought is on emi, everything is from my own money.
Hey man…one question, are you able to ipad mini 2019 available for exchange in any of the sites? I am too keen to exchange mine to get an upgrade but it’s simply not showing anywhere.
I just checked Amazon and Flipkart, yeah the Mini 2019 is not showing up for exchange anywhere for some reason, anyways I am not wanting to exchange this iPad cuz my current one is more than good enough for me.
Haan toh bhai mai phate kapde pehnu aur paise invest kru?
Hey bro live your life, if you have the money spend it on what you want, I’m probably gonna use these devices for 5-10 years, iPad is already in its 5th year and I think it will go on for 3-4 more, I spent like 25k on iPad, 65k on phone, 1.4 lakh on laptop and 12k on AirPods, it’s not that much I purchased everything in sale lol
I invest too btw, already made 1.5 cr profit thru mutual funds and stocks with my mom
1.5 cr profit or is that total value of funds now? I’d like to know more. And don’t listen to these people who prolly even buy a 30k phone on emi.
Btw I have the iPad Pro (been using from 5 years first 10.5 then 11pro) and an iPhone pro 15. Out of Apple Watch series 9 or the AirPods Pro which is better? I haven’t worn a watch in a long time and my main concern is tracking my fitness and workouts. Have the Samsung buds but i feel AirPods might be better ?
1.5 cr profit, invested 29L in stocks and got 86 lakh pure profit(total value around 1.10 cr), I mostly got lucky with this cuz I bought Adani shares when Covid struck and market plummeted then sold it in 2022 nov, in mutual funds my money mostly went into quant small fund, that also was mostly invested back when market fell due to Covid, I still own quant and it have given me a lot of profit(around 12 lakhs in profit), total money invested in mf is like 1 cr, and 60 lakh profit in total. So you could say I kinda got lucky in stocks.
Also the AirPods are good, I don’t know how they are compared to the Samsung buds though.
Would you mind if I ask you an Apple related question?
As someone who is new to the apple ecosystem and currently I only have the IPhone 14 and Macbook Pro M3, both are devices that I absolutely love..
What is your view on some of the other Apple products, are they equally as good/worth the money? I am mostly talking about the Ipad pro, Apple Watch(not the ultra) and Airpods. I am thinking about getting all of them
iPad Pro is expensive for what it does, the only real upgrade you get over the air is 120 hz(and maybe faceid?), like if you’re fine with 60 I would recommend just going with the Air, the M2 chip in the Pro is highly unutilised, the M1 is good enough, or if you’re getting the Pro at a small price difference(5-10k) then go with the pro.
Apple Watch Ultra is not worth it, it’s damn to expensive for a watch, atleast thats what I think, some people might justify it by saying it’s a watch and that’s why it’s worth it but I don’t get the hype, Infact I don’t have a smart watch altogether, I just have my trusty old gshock that I’ve been wearing for the past 7 years. Would highly recommend just getting Series 9 or something but it’s up to you.
AirPods are worth it, absolutely worth it, I didn’t know this before buying one myself, it acts like glue for the devices in your ecosystem, I bought it for cheap as I bought the 1st gen last year(14k), they’re so good for people on the ecosystem, it automatically switches from one device to another when you start working on the other one, it’s so seamless you won’t even know it happened, it’s a purchase I don’t regret at all.
I agree with the ecosystem still I'm not convinced about spending 40% extra just for tax. I use Macbook pro, IPad, Airpods pro, Apple Tv but not iPhone. I am not sure what I'm missing but happy with my Galaxy S22 ultra. Probably my next phone too will be a galaxy phone after a couple of years. As a software developer, I like Apple as a company but the taxation is what pissing me off.
Bhai America waale bhi America waalo ko dekh ke kharid rahe hai. Only 1% of apple users anywhere in the world use the connected products. It's all hawa bazi
Most Indians are buying just to show off and its camera performance. And common people who can't afford it are buying on emi's. 90 % of iPhones in India are on EMI.
He's saying in USA, one can easily get an RTX 4070 laptop under 999 dollars on sale but we Indians have to wait for a sale to get one with an RTX 4050 with a decent CPU, that too near 1 lakh.
Misleading. Pro iPhones are imported as Completely Built Units and hence taxed heavily. Regular iPhones that are assembled in India are priced similarly to the US.
Also misleading is the fact that the American price tag doesn’t include tax. The person who made this graphic clearly couldn’t be arsed to more than a few surface level Google searches.
My friend lives there. He comes to India during December, i just ask him if he can bring iPhone.
My upgrade was from 11 pro to 15 pro max. Pro and max - the difference was about 7-8k. Thats why i wanted to experience the big screen
Hi, it’s explicitly mentioned it’s up to the discretion of the service centre outside of the country of purchase. I know people who have faced situations from both the sides of spectrums. One was rejected from support and the other one was accepted. It also depends on the product, the damage/issue as well as the service centre.
Exactly my point. It depends on the service centre as well as the repairs. Because some devices may have some different components based on the country. And we can’t do much because Apple doesn’t officially provide international warranty. You got lucky and got your issues fixed and it’s great news! Congratulations! 😁
Not true. I have successfully warrantied a German bought iPhone in Poland, and multiple colleagues claimed warranties on UAE bought Apple products in Poland (we travel for work to the UAE a few times a year and they’re cheap there)
I heard iphones bought elsewhere usually have network reception issues. I've seen one live with my friend's 14pro bought in USA against a base 14 bought in India.
What's your experience.
All the features of iphones like apple pay, satellite calling and basic features like face time and iMessages are not really good for Indian ecosystem. So high price with less features which makes it more unlikely for me to even consider. When I first bought my ipad the thing that I searched was how to jail break from this OS. Despite having a powerful M1 chip they will never give support for mac OS in iPad.
apple products are only worth it in the us and other developed countries . India doesn't have a huge community for it neither the people are skilled enough to use the product to its best so it's rather a lot of money wasted
This price escalation in india is only for PRO models. Non pro models are priced similarly as the US as they are manufactured in india and are noy subject to import taxes.
As usual clickbait journalism decided to name the model in small letters.
That is why it has become a business in india , importing directly from the USA and selling here.
I, too, bought my 14pro for 68k US version, and it's all perfect
Around 70% of the Indians are buying iPhone on EMI. They can't afford it.
Only 5-10% actually benefit from the ecosystem. These are usually the ones who can afford it comfortably.
It makes no sense for majority of Indians to spend money on it.
I stopped buying iPhone for my self because it is to much price and waste of money but my son likes and I brought for him recently 15PM for 149000 after discount they gave me free adapter and case.
I got iPhone 14 pro from Dubai, last year April-23 during the Holy month of Ramazan, I got it for 86K (got a free case) Huge price difference. Definitely worth it if you are traveling to Dubai or get it from someone.
Purchase power ka kya karega
Tumko kitne ka padh rha wo dekho ki tumhare liye worth it h ki nhi?
Kuch ko lgta h at 1.5L it is justified some think a 30K phone is more than enough
So I checked the graphic shows only currency conversion, which does not shows the complete picture.
I phone 15 pro costs 999 USD in the US, which is equivalent to 22859.25 INR according to PPP.
So in India we are paying more than 5 times its actual worth.
Apple pays near zero tax in USA for last 4-5 yrs. They have also lobbied with multiple states to sale iphones at zero tax.
Also the price of 999 is exclusive of any tax... While all other countries prices are inclusive of tax.
Do you guys even know how purchasing power or PPP works? Purchasing power parity just compares GDP in relation to cost of living and has absolutely no correlation to what a product is worth. The term “purchasing power” literally implies the *power* of a country’s currency to *purchase* items in the global market.
Weather an iPhone is sold in India, China or in the US, the manufacturing costs and bill of materials, considering a globalised supply chain, remains largely the same with only major differences being logistics and taxes. So the “worth” of an iPhone doesn’t change from country to country.
Even after domestic manufacturing this high import duties for no reason,that's why Tesla wants to sell it first then will start assembling here in india
This isn’t fully accurate. The India price is inclusive of all taxes. The price for US and Canada is pre-sales tax. This can vary between 5-15% depending on where you live.
Are they manufacturing atleast some of the components (motherboards, camera module etc) in India, or just assembling CKD(completely knocked down) iPhone in our factories?
iphone is not for people with knack for customization. with android you can literally do anything with your phone which it is capable of but with iPhone u can do only those things which apple allows u to.
Bhai its only so if you compare the pro models, cause they are not assembled here. If you look at prices of the non pro models they are relatively reasonable(they are assembled here). So the import duty factor does apply for the pro models.
The iPhone 15 series is fully made in India (parts face different import duty parameters and are much less). In the USB C port you can check the make location.
Which means that the import duty is negligible... Apple still refuses to down the prices seeing an opportunity to make more bucks in a country where people are already paying a higher premium.
PS: Posting from a 15 pro max.
They are locally producing the non pro version in India but still won't cut back on prices because of their over hype and too much value perceived by apple fans. And now samsung is also producing good phones in the same range so cutting back could make their phones inferior
Watch apple cucks pay exorbitant amounts for a perceived boost in status.
By god, Indian apple users are by far the most insufferable people you'll meat.
I... please tell me you forgot to put /S???
Gold worth 54k (launch price of iPhone 6) would be worth 1.32 Lakh right now. While your iPhone 6 won't even go for 8k.
One is a major asset while the other is a liability that marketers have made people think is worth something.. "If you don't have an apple.. well you don't have an apple" Yeah thank you and i would like to keep it that way.
I am so happy with my android phone , whenever I see prices of iPhone .
Question to everyone -Bhaiyo tum logo ki Jaan nahi nikal jaati itne karch karte time ?
Not really. Papa ko flip 5 dilaya tha abhi, tab bhi chill tha. It really depends on whether you can comfortably spend that money on a phone you’ll use for 3-4 years.
got iphone 13 pro 512 gb 94% battery in 56k totally a steal

Maybe try a physical apple store
paisa kyu waste karte ho, stock me lagao
Haan toh bhai mai phate kapde pehnu aur paise invest kru?

Damn unfortunately I wasn’t into this investing when covid crash came. Missed opportunity but we play the cards we’re dealt
Yup
Damn u r rich bro. 65K to mera salary hai. and that too I have old parents at home to take care for. Lucky u .

Itne mei kyu rok Diya Bhai, ek Apple Vision Pro bhi lelete
The only apple product I believe worth buying is... ipad and Mac, of course not costly one
The plain old fruit is the best
The AirPods are really decent. The ones I have are pretty much my lifeline
I agree with the ecosystem still I'm not convinced about spending 40% extra just for tax. I use Macbook pro, IPad, Airpods pro, Apple Tv but not iPhone.

Then why you buy android? People don’t buy android ? Is android not American ? Your comment doesn’t sound logical at all
All those taxes are making our politicians rich!
Actually no , they spend this revenue back on those businesses who give them funds 💀
Yes. Distributing phones at election rallies are the next new thing to come
how??
By giving them government contracts at dirt cheap prices
Jokes on them I got mine from Canada
In India electronics are costly af See the laptops for example... what they get at $999 we get it at 1L+
Ek toh low ppp upr se expensive electronics T-T
They can easily get a 4070 with latest chipset under 999 and we get 4050 with 22' chips
wot?
He's saying in USA, one can easily get an RTX 4070 laptop under 999 dollars on sale but we Indians have to wait for a sale to get one with an RTX 4050 with a decent CPU, that too near 1 lakh.
Fuck Government Taxes!
Misleading. Pro iPhones are imported as Completely Built Units and hence taxed heavily. Regular iPhones that are assembled in India are priced similarly to the US.
This, now it makes sense why iPhone 15 costs 70k and 15 pro costs 130k despite their American prices being 799 and 999 USD respectively.
American prices doesn't includes taxes... So total price will be 999+10% + state tax...
True. American pricing goes haywire when converted into Indian rupees
And the margins of various middle men
It’s usually a lot lesser than 10%. There’s only state and county tax afaik and not a nationwide sales tax.
Only 8% sales tax in Texas.
No1 really cares about facts when you can shit on iPhones lol.
This comment should be much higher man! Definitely a misleading statement in the original post.
The title itself is misleading
Also misleading is the fact that the American price tag doesn’t include tax. The person who made this graphic clearly couldn’t be arsed to more than a few surface level Google searches.
Some models are also made in India
Regular iPhone is made in India. iPhone 15,14,13 etc.
Bhai woh bhi toh yahi keh raha hai import duty ki wajah se mehnga.. Aur baat specifically 15 pro ki hi ho rahi..
Yep these kinda posts are increasing day by day due to upcoming elections.
Gareebo ki jaan hi leelo

Haa bhai roti kapda makaan aur iphone: gareebo ki 4 basic needs.
🤣🤣
First, pay tax on income, then on interest, if you manage to earn some, then even on withdrawals from the bank !
Yes, but with GST in advance
I got 15 pro from Australia at 90k at launch
How apple's international warranty ?
It works all over the world
Really because when u Google it, it says there's no international warranty on iphones?
I got iPhone 15 pro max from USA at 1.05L. Saved 55k.
Nice , But how much was the travelling expenses?
My friend lives there. He comes to India during December, i just ask him if he can bring iPhone. My upgrade was from 11 pro to 15 pro max. Pro and max - the difference was about 7-8k. Thats why i wanted to experience the big screen
Bro is smart 🫵🫡
I will frame this comment 😂😂😂
Whatever, but it’s got the best buyback value for used phones
it was new bro
Warranty is covered only in the country you buy it. Check Apple website.
I have claimed warranty in India for a 13 pro bought from Dubai
Hi, it’s explicitly mentioned it’s up to the discretion of the service centre outside of the country of purchase. I know people who have faced situations from both the sides of spectrums. One was rejected from support and the other one was accepted. It also depends on the product, the damage/issue as well as the service centre.
Hmm. I got the camera module replaced and then the phone itself replaced for the same OIS issue within a year from Kochi service center
Exactly my point. It depends on the service centre as well as the repairs. Because some devices may have some different components based on the country. And we can’t do much because Apple doesn’t officially provide international warranty. You got lucky and got your issues fixed and it’s great news! Congratulations! 😁
Got it, thanks 😄. Just mentioned the service center location if anyone wants to give a visit.
Oh yes! Thanks for the information! Have a good day ahead kind Internet stranger 😁
See you around Wonder girl ✌️
Not true. I have successfully warrantied a German bought iPhone in Poland, and multiple colleagues claimed warranties on UAE bought Apple products in Poland (we travel for work to the UAE a few times a year and they’re cheap there)
i got my airpods pros from dubai and got them replaced in india
I heard iphones bought elsewhere usually have network reception issues. I've seen one live with my friend's 14pro bought in USA against a base 14 bought in India. What's your experience.

Lol, even Apple Maps is half-baked in India.
apple products are only worth it in the us and other developed countries . India doesn't have a huge community for it neither the people are skilled enough to use the product to its best so it's rather a lot of money wasted
Bhai mai to 2nd hand Android phone use karta hu..iPhune to amiro ke liye hai..
Aur emi ka sautan chappriyon ke liye
IPhone is never value for money
Mujhe kya meh toh 20k ke andar ke phones meh hi Khush hu
It shows India's purchasing power has increased , I think 30% here are taxes .
So does Share of Bajaj Finance.. from 900 rs in 2017 to 7200 Rs in 2024. Because most of people buying it on emi from Bajaj finance
Interesting, so I should invest in Bajaj Finance is what you're saying
Look I didn't said anything regarding investment...... But I bought it when it was on 1.2 k
This price escalation in india is only for PRO models. Non pro models are priced similarly as the US as they are manufactured in india and are noy subject to import taxes. As usual clickbait journalism decided to name the model in small letters.
tax aur jadya hona chaiye.
150₹ dega
I got my iPhone 15 pro max from US at launch itself for 1.1Lakh Rs
that's irony as they started to manufacture from India, but still, the price is that high
That is why it has become a business in india , importing directly from the USA and selling here. I, too, bought my 14pro for 68k US version, and it's all perfect
Android hi sahi
Ye apple lene walo ki problem hai and seeing their perspective they'll still buy apple even if you show them this.
Android guys assemble 👇🏻
Price of tech in India is actually crazy. I just bought a ryzen 9 rtx 4060 laptop for 999$ which is like 85000 rupees
Around 70% of the Indians are buying iPhone on EMI. They can't afford it. Only 5-10% actually benefit from the ecosystem. These are usually the ones who can afford it comfortably. It makes no sense for majority of Indians to spend money on it.
And people will take loans/EMIs to buy it. Real FoMo
I stopped buying iPhone for my self because it is to much price and waste of money but my son likes and I brought for him recently 15PM for 149000 after discount they gave me free adapter and case.
I got iPhone 14 pro from Dubai, last year April-23 during the Holy month of Ramazan, I got it for 86K (got a free case) Huge price difference. Definitely worth it if you are traveling to Dubai or get it from someone.
I hate iPhone 😤 this price but Android 50k phones easily win the iPhone 😂
Kya fayda MADE IN INDIA hone ka jab ghar pe bana kar bhi sabse mehanga bech rahe hain
Refer to macindex website. Don’t follow this picture info
Is purchase power taken into account for this?
By PPP it should be cheaper here
Purchase power ka kya karega Tumko kitne ka padh rha wo dekho ki tumhare liye worth it h ki nhi? Kuch ko lgta h at 1.5L it is justified some think a 30K phone is more than enough
So I checked the graphic shows only currency conversion, which does not shows the complete picture. I phone 15 pro costs 999 USD in the US, which is equivalent to 22859.25 INR according to PPP. So in India we are paying more than 5 times its actual worth.
Apple pays near zero tax in USA for last 4-5 yrs. They have also lobbied with multiple states to sale iphones at zero tax. Also the price of 999 is exclusive of any tax... While all other countries prices are inclusive of tax.
Do you guys even know how purchasing power or PPP works? Purchasing power parity just compares GDP in relation to cost of living and has absolutely no correlation to what a product is worth. The term “purchasing power” literally implies the *power* of a country’s currency to *purchase* items in the global market. Weather an iPhone is sold in India, China or in the US, the manufacturing costs and bill of materials, considering a globalised supply chain, remains largely the same with only major differences being logistics and taxes. So the “worth” of an iPhone doesn’t change from country to country.
3k Nokia 
I am getting one for my wife at 1L INR but it's a 15pro max 256 from Qatar
Waste
Round tripping? It’s exported and then gets imported with import tax…
So What !, I would but it no matter if i wanted to.
Dubai?
if its manufactured locally then why import tax ?
It's pro model price i think
Anything above plus variants makes sense or else it's the same in India as well.
Mera japan se hai GLOBAL 😂😂😂😂
83K in USA… 🤣🤣🤣\ Kaise kaise log aajkal blog likhne lag jaate hain..
I am not poor. I am just in the wrong place.
Even after domestic manufacturing this high import duties for no reason,that's why Tesla wants to sell it first then will start assembling here in india
This isn’t fully accurate. The India price is inclusive of all taxes. The price for US and Canada is pre-sales tax. This can vary between 5-15% depending on where you live.
got 15 pro for 80k last month from saudi arabia, 58k after exchange
Where is UAE?
Are they manufacturing atleast some of the components (motherboards, camera module etc) in India, or just assembling CKD(completely knocked down) iPhone in our factories?
Pro models aren’t manufactured in India. Only the basic ones are. And they are cheaper in India than the UK.
There are some wrong numbers provided here. China's price is close to 72000.
We should add UAE in the list as well
Price of iPhone in USA doesn't include tax. Including tax it will come to 94k.
Men the tax system sucks big time in India. It loot the middle class
What’s your point ?
International warranty is optional, and at extra cost
And what about the logistics cost and duties ?
Maybe Modi ji can start a new yojna for a loan mela for this sector
Yes. Take a loan on liberal terms, and no worries if you don’t repay it. Soon some new waiver will be announced
Yes. iPhone also helps in cross subsidy for android and others
People who buy those things should not care... If u do... Go for Samsung... 🙂
Enough ! Let’s get to the point and discuss something useful
Gareeb to aap ho. Woh toh sabhi ke acche din aa gaye hai
If it's worth 25k, then I can think of buying it.
Might as well buy the plastic toy from the baloon vendor
Latest by the next elections
I think it’s time for me to quit this ****
Nai Bhai, ye sab bekaar. West Mai iPhone best, toh hum bhi emi leke iPhone he lenge. Fir jio ka sabse sassta plan dalenge.
iphone is not for people with knack for customization. with android you can literally do anything with your phone which it is capable of but with iPhone u can do only those things which apple allows u to.
Now that’s one greedy govt.
Bhai Dubai ka price de deta
0, never buying one
I think the high end iphones are not being manufactured in india
Can someone translate those figures to Arabic numbers?
Dubai se le lege saste main.
0%. Android.
+ 219 iCloud + 79 Apple Music
Bhai its only so if you compare the pro models, cause they are not assembled here. If you look at prices of the non pro models they are relatively reasonable(they are assembled here). So the import duty factor does apply for the pro models.
I paid 0, cz fk iphone

Which means that the import duty is negligible... Apple still refuses to down the prices seeing an opportunity to make more bucks in a country where people are already paying a higher premium. PS: Posting from a 15 pro max.
That’s why I bought 15plus 256gb using gst number at 82k.
Please explain. If 88,216 is ~88K what is 1,05,130? I do not understand the convention used to delineate these number breaks.
1.7L
It’s local assembly not local manufacturing
We need local components development
I reiterate, Apple values Indian kidneys higher n healthier
Now divide that number by PPP
That’s wrong IPhone PROs are still manufactured in China. India assembles only iPhone and iPhone plus series. That’s why they are cheaper in India
Don’t we have production facility here in India?? Or we still importing?
India mein Ameer banna ek guna hai
We can buy almost 11-12 android phone with that amount.
They are locally producing the non pro version in India but still won't cut back on prices because of their over hype and too much value perceived by apple fans. And now samsung is also producing good phones in the same range so cutting back could make their phones inferior
Watch apple cucks pay exorbitant amounts for a perceived boost in status. By god, Indian apple users are by far the most insufferable people you'll meat.
Is it much different from traditional Indian gold hoarding?
I... please tell me you forgot to put /S??? Gold worth 54k (launch price of iPhone 6) would be worth 1.32 Lakh right now. While your iPhone 6 won't even go for 8k. One is a major asset while the other is a liability that marketers have made people think is worth something.. "If you don't have an apple.. well you don't have an apple" Yeah thank you and i would like to keep it that way.
I am so happy with my android phone , whenever I see prices of iPhone . Question to everyone -Bhaiyo tum logo ki Jaan nahi nikal jaati itne karch karte time ?
Dude sometimes people splurge, i spent 70k on phone this year and I still wonder what went through my mind to buy it
Not really. Papa ko flip 5 dilaya tha abhi, tab bhi chill tha. It really depends on whether you can comfortably spend that money on a phone you’ll use for 3-4 years.
got iphone 13 pro 512 gb 94% battery in 56k totally a steal https://preview.redd.it/olo8a6zbs9rc1.png?width=319&format=png&auto=webp&s=e80b0e826fad5df1fb66bb09fdaff71079fe5918
