iPhone SE 2022 Price in India Increased

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.
Since the Apple Store is currently down in anticipation of the iPhone 14 series pre-orders, which go live at 5:30PM IST, we independently couldn’t verify the updated prices. So, thanks to 91Mobiles, here’s a look at the new price of all the three storage variants of the iPhone SE 2022 in India: Storage variantOriginal PriceNew Price64GBRs 43,990Rs 49,990128GBRs 48,990Rs 54,990256GBRs 58,990Rs 64,990 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.
Now, this is really disappointing for smartphone users in India, as we usually look forward to price cuts in previous-gen models after the release of a new lineup. But, an increase in the price of the iPhone SE 2022 model with the iPhone 14 series in India is baffling, especially when it’s known that the latest SE hasn’t been selling as well as the older generations.
