Apple has permanently slashed the prices of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max for the first time in India. The Cupertino-based tech giant follows the tradition of discontinuing the flagship models with the launch of the new generation. The current generation is due to get their successors in September. The reduction in prices of the iPhone 15 Pro models is likely attributed to the import duty rate cut from 20 to 15 percent by the Indian government at the recently announced budget session.
iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max get a price cut in India
Apple has slashed the prices of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max in India by Rs 6,000. This is applicable to all storage configurations of the device. The brand has not explicitly revealed the reason behind the price cut. The revised pricing is also visible on the company’s official website. It’s worth noting that the prices could be even lower at Apple Authorised Resellers and third-party stores.
The iPhone 15 Pro now starts at Rs 1,29,800 for the base 128GB variant down from Rs 1,34,900. Meanwhile, the 256GB and 512GB are now available for Rs 1,39,800 and Rs 1,59,700 compared to their original retail prices of Rs 1,44,900 and Rs 1,64,900 respectively. The 1TB variant of the smartphone can be purchased at Rs 1,79,400 instead of Rs 1,84,900.
As for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations now retail at Rs 1,54,000, Rs 1,73,900, and Rs 1,93,500 respectively. They were previously available for Rs 1,59,900, Rs 1,79,900, and Rs 1,99,900.
Going by the aforementioned revised pricing, the iPhone 15 Pro has become cheaper by up to Rs 5,500 whereas the prices of the Pro Max have dropped by up to Rs 6,000.
Should you wait before purchasing the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max?
With the festive season around the corner, we would recommend holding off buying any iPhones even after the price cut. The devices could be even available for cheaper during the sale season along with lucrative bank offers. Many authorised resellers are selling the Pro models at a slightly cheaper price than Apple’s store and website. There could also be an exchange bonus with the trade-in value of your old iPhone depending on the retailer and the timing. Additionally, the iPhone 16’s launch in September means that the current-generation non-Pro models will also get an official price cut.
