Apple iPhone XS Max (512GB) Price in India Is an Insane Rs 1.45 Lakh

The three iPhones which we had been hearing about since the November of last yearfinally arrived yesterday(or earlier today, depending on your time zone). In spite of major expectations, two of the three new iPhones – iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max – were merely upgrades to the iPhone X while the third one, iPhone XR, is an extravagantly priced “cheaper” iPhone.

Apple haskept the base pricing of the iPhone XS same as the iPhone Xi.e. at $999 but the highest variant i.e. 512GB variant of iPhone XS Max almost touches the $1,500 mark. With the global pricing of the new iPhones, Apple has also revealed the prices in different countries where these new and extravagant iPhones will be available.iPhone XS and XS Max

If you’re keen about thepricing in India, here’s a quick look:

As you can see, these prices are not direct currency conversions as they include extra charges such as import duties. Compared to the year, when the $999 iPhone X was sold at ₹89,000 in India, this year’s base model comes at anadditional premium of ₹10,000. This is likelybecause of the continuous drop in rupee-dollar exchange value.

With the highest-end variant goingslightly short of Rs 1.5 lakh, it’s a new benchmark for the iPhone pricing.Selling kidneys might no longer be enough.

I’m not one to dictate where you spend your money, but features such as larger display, and batteryover the iPhone Xmight notjustify the huge price bump, especially when the rest of the specs and the experience is likely to be the same.
