00:00 Apple has launched its latest series iPhone 15.
00:04 The new iPhone 15 series includes four models.
00:07 Its initial price is Rs. 89,000 and it is the base 128 GB model of the iPhone 15.
00:13 In India, its pre-booking is starting today, i.e. September 15, and it will be available from September 22.
00:20 But Indians may be surprised to know that even after being made in India,
00:24 their price is higher in India than in America and Dubai.
00:29 If we talk about the Pro variant, then this price difference increases even more.
00:33 Let's explain this in detail.
00:36 Indian buyers were hoping that by being produced in India, they will get an iPhone cheaper.
00:42 But this did not happen.
00:44 The price of the iPhone being made in India is 20% higher than that of America.
00:50 In Dubai, the price of iPhone 15 is Rs. 3,399, i.e. Rs. 76,817.
00:57 While in India, its price is Rs. 89,900.
01:00 If we talk about America, then its price is Rs. 799, i.e. Rs. 66,317.
01:07 If we talk about iPhone 15 Pro Max, then its price in India is Rs. 1,69,900.
01:14 While in America, it is Rs. 99,517 and in Dubai, it is Rs. 1,15,237.
01:22 If we talk about the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB model, then its price in India is Rs. 1,99,900,
01:31 which is 51% higher than that of America.
01:34 In America, the price of this phone is Rs. 1,59,999, i.e. Rs. 1,32,717.
01:41 This model is not being made in India yet.
01:45 As far as the flagship pro version of the company is concerned,
01:48 there is a huge difference in the price.
01:52 In India, it is 22% higher than that of the flagship version.
01:55 In India, the base model of the iPhone 15 Pro is Rs. 1,34,900.
02:01 While in America, it is Rs. 82,917 and in Dubai, it is Rs. 97,157.
02:08 Now, I have told you about the price difference,
02:11 but now you would like to know why this huge difference is there.
02:15 So, why is the price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB higher in India?
02:18 A distributor from Apple told us that the reason for the high price of the iPhone in India is the supply chain.
02:23 It has to be given import duty on many components.
02:26 In the countries where the tax on the iPhone is less, the price of the iPhone is less.
02:32 In comparison to America and Dubai, the business of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is very low in India.
02:37 Prabhu Ram, the head of the Industry Intelligence Group in Cyber Media Research,
02:41 told us that there are many reasons behind the high price of the iPhone in India.
02:45 According to him, there are many factors behind the final pricing.
02:49 Apple gives discounts with its partners so that the impact of taxes and duties on imported models can be reduced.
02:57 He also said that in the beginning, the focus of the company in India is on old models.
03:03 Last year, when the iPhone 14 series sales started in the country,
03:07 54% of the phones were of the old generation.
03:11 A year before that, when the iPhone 13 series was launched, only 23% of the phones were imported.
03:17 77% of the phones were of the old generation.
03:21 In India, the assembling of the iPhone does not mean that it will be cheap in the country.
03:27 The non-pro models have some savings of 4X, but Apple will not reduce the price of the new model.
03:33 Instead, the company will invest in the marketing and supply chain.
03:37 In addition, the company can give a heavy discount on the models of the old generation,
03:41 which will increase its sales in India.
03:43 Now you would like to know what is the benefit of making these phones in India?
03:47 What will be the benefit of making in India?
03:49 By making the iPhone 15 in India, the economy of India directly benefits.
03:55 In India, the iPhone is considered a luxury goods, which is taxed more.
04:01 By making an iPhone in India, investment comes on a large scale in the country.
04:06 Infrastructure is developed, many jobs and tax are benefitted.
04:11 So this is the benefit of making iPhone 15 or iPhone in India.
04:16 I hope now you would have become clear that why are the iPhones expensive in India even after being made in India?
