Is Apple going to increase the iPhone price in India?
Is Apple planning to raise the price of the iPhones by about 29% in India? This is the latest rumor that is doing the rounds in the tech markets nowadays.

”. You can rest in peace, Apple has no plans to increase the prices in India, says the company, and you can check on the original prices and other details by logging onto the official website of Apple.
Apple had recently been in talks with its key distributors and top executives in India and had a meeting regarding the launch of the SE stated the Times of India. Further details said that a source had confirmed “The stock of SE was in any case kept at a low level. A strategy is being worked out to pitch the device more effectively.” The discounts had been taken off on the iPhones and a source stated “It was felt that SE, which was criticized for having a ‘high price tag’, will not be able to see much traction if prices of bigger-sized iPhone 6 and 6S devices are not corrected. So, the decision was taken to revise the price upwards,”
Reports had speculated that after hiking the price the iPhone6S would be handed out at Rs 48,000 and the iPhone 6 would be available at Rs 40,000. The iPhone 5S which at the moment is available at Rs 18,000, would be costing Rs 22,000. This increase of price was hinting a hike of about 22%, said the speculations, but is this true?
The iPhone SE has been the reason for a lot of gossip and an earlier report had stated that Apple has no plans to go overboard on the production of its iPhone SE.

The final prices are in the hands of the online and offline stores that retail Apple products and because of this the same device maybe priced differently at different outlets but Apple as a company has not given any affirmation on the price hikes.
