If you are also dreaming of buying a new iPhone and after hearing the news of the recent GST changes, you are thinking that now iPhone 17 will be available cheaper, then wait a bit. The truth is that this change will not have any significant impact on the prices of iPhone. Let’s understand in detail.
Effect of GST changes on iPhone
New GST rules have come into effect in India from 22 September 2025. However, no major changes have been made in the tax slab of smartphones. Earlier also 18% GST was levied on mobile phones and the same rate will remain applicable even now.
That is, there will be no direct impact of GST changes on iPhone 17 Price. ICEA (India Cellular and Electronics Association) had demanded 5% GST slab on smartphones from the government so that smartphones can come within the reach of more people. But at present the government has not accepted this demand.
iPhone 17 series launched scheduled
Apple will launch its new iPhone 17 series on 9 September 2025. Four models will be introduced in this series –
- iPhone 17
- iPhone 17 Air
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
These will be introduced in the international market with “Awe Dropping” price tag. That is, the prices are considered reasonable according to the features.
Possible prices of iPhone 17 Price in India
Apple has not yet released an official list regarding iPhone 17 Price in India. But based on reports and estimates, the prices could be as follows:
- iPhone 17: ₹89,900
- iPhone 17 Air: ₹99,990
- iPhone 17 Pro: ₹1,34,999
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: ₹1,64,990
Big change expected
If the government accepts ICEA’s demand in the coming time and reduces the GST rate on smartphones from 18% to 12% or 5%, then certainly the prices of iPhone 17 Price and other premium smartphones can see a drop.
But until that happens, buying an iPhone will remain a premium experience—and its price will also remain premium.
Conclusion: There will be no reduction in iPhone 17 Price despite the GST change. The iPhone 17 series will be known for its high-end features and premium experience, and its prices will also be fixed accordingly.
