After the government hiked the customs duty from 10 percent to 15 percent for mobile handsets last week, Apple on Monday became the first manufacturer to raise prices (on MRP) across iPhone models, except iPhone SE that the company assembles in the country. "As expected, Apple has increased the iPhone prices. The interesting thing now is to see how the Indian Apple community react to this," Tarun Pathak, Associate Director, Mobile Devices and Ecosystems, Counterpoint Research, told IANS.

The iPhone 8 will now be available for Rs 66,120 (64GB variant) and Rs 79,420 for the 256GB variant. Representational picture
