With the launch of a new iPhone series, Apple is usually known to discontinue some phones and slashes the price of others every year. But, in a surprise move, the company has increased the price of its cheapest, budget-centric iPhone model – the iPhone SE 2022 – in India after the announcement of the iPhone 14 series. The price of iPhone SE 2022 (or iPhone SE 3) has been hiked by Rs 6,000. So let’s look at all the details here.
At the time of launch, the iPhone SE 2022 was priced starting at Rs 43,990 for the 64GB base model in India. Its price has since been hiked to Rs 49,990, which is a Rs 6,000 price hike over the release price. Apple didn’t disclose any reason for the price increase, but it could possibly because of the rising rupee prices against the dollar.
In addition, the iPhone 14 series launch in India saw the company discontinue the iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 11 in India. And the prices for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 have been reduced to make them more pocket-friendly in the country.
