The iPhone 17 finally went on sale on September 19, sparking huge excitement among Indian audiences. The pricing of the India variant differs from other countries—sometimes it’s more affordable, and in some cases, more expensive.
India’s 18% GST has pushed iPhone 17 prices higher compared to some other countries. Here we list the nearest overseas destinations where you can buy the iPhone 17 series at a lower price than in India.
Dubai
First, consider buying an iPhone from Dubai. Even after adding the flight cost, the total expense can still be lower than purchasing the Indian variant. Here is the list of iPhone 17 series prices in Dubai for the 256GB storage models: the regular iPhone 17 is priced at AED 3,399 (approx. ₹62,882), the iPhone 17 Pro at AED 4,699 (approx. ₹91,000), the iPhone 17 Pro Max at AED 5,099 (approx. ₹99,800), and the iPhone Air at AED 4,299 (approx. ₹74,800). In India, you’ll need to shell out ₹82,999 for the regular iPhone 17 (256GB storage) variant.
USA
America also offers some of the best iPhone prices, and with the same budget you’d spend in India, you could even plan a short trip. As per the latest information, the iPhone 17 series in the US is priced at $799 (approx. ₹66,796) for the regular iPhone 17 with 256GB storage, $1,099 (approx. ₹91,900) for the iPhone 17 Pro, $1,199 (approx. ₹99,900) for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and $999 (approx. ₹83,400) for the iPhone Air.
Singapore
Singapore, though known as one of the more expensive cities, still offers iPhones at lower prices than in India. The regular iPhone 17 (256GB storage) is priced from SGD 1,299 (approx. ₹74,173), the iPhone 17 Pro (256GB storage) at SGD 1,749 (approx. ₹99,600), the iPhone 17 Pro Max (256GB storage) at SGD 1,899 (approx. ₹107,600), and the iPhone 17 Air at SGD 1,599 (approx. ₹91,000).
