In a rather welcome news for iPhone buyers, Apple has slashed prices across its iPhone lineup in India. The price cuts come in the wake of India’s recent budget announcement. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in her Union Budget speech that the the basic customs duty (BCD) on imported mobile phones and components will be reduced from 20% to 15%. Significantly, this is also the first time Apple has lowered prices for its Pro models in the Indian market.
Moneycontrol has verified the prices on Apple’s online store and the prices have officially been cut. It is the first time Apple has cut prices just a few months before the launch of new iPhone models, which is expected to happen in September 2024.
