Apple was heavily tipped to increase iPhone 17 and 17 Pro prices in India this month and most hints suggested the brand will do it. But as of August 6, Apple’s official website and the iPhone 17/17 Pro prices listing shows the same launch prices from the company and you can even order it and pick it from the Apple Store today.

iPhone 17 price hike when?

August 2026 has so far gone without any change in the iPhone 17 prices in India. Does that mean people have a few more days/weeks before they get expensive, quite likely.
But the overall picture of the iPhone 17 stocks in India is weak, which explains why both Amazon and Flipkart are having a hard time listing the model when someone searches for these iPhones. Apple has kept the price hike card close to its chest so far, and even the retailers might be puzzled about the delay. But buyers have a longer window now to get it before the brand makes you spend more.
All eyes on the iPhone 18 Pro launch
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro launch is likely to happen early next month, and Bloomberg has suggested that the new CEO John Ternus wants to host it with real people at the venue. The chances of Apple doing that are less but still would be good to see him talking about the new iPhones and other products in front of the world and not a pre-recorded video.
The iPhone 18 Pro launch could have Apple making the big changes, at least in terms of how it brings the new models going forward. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are expected to line up alongside the iPhone Ultra foldable model in September. The iPhone 18 and 18e will be getting their own stage but in early 2027 as per reports.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on the iPhone 17 price hike updates in India and will hope that Apple can buck the trend a little longer.
