A new concern has emerged for consumers waiting for iPhone 17. Many people were thinking that the new model would be available at a cheaper price during the sale, but recent leaks have dashed this hope.
Launched in September, the iPhone 17 comes with several significant upgrades compared to its predecessor model. Compared to iPhone 16, its base variant has 256 GB storage. Recently a tipster has told that the company can increase its price by up to Rs 7000.
The tipster not only mentioned the price increase but also gave the reasons behind it. According to the report, due to increasing demand and limited stock of iPhone 17, the company is planning to increase its price. This means higher demand and lower availability could put additional burden on new iPhone purchases.

At the same time, the new price of 512 GB variant can reach Rs 1,09,990. The tipster has also said that the company may also introduce some attractive bank card offers along with the new prices to balance the prices. However, it is not clear when these new prices will come into effect.
This smartphone has a 6.3 inch Super Retina XDR display. For performance, it has the new A19 Bionic chipset, which is very powerful in terms of multitasking and speed. The camera setup includes a 48-megapixel dual rear camera and an 18-megapixel front selfie camera.
If iPhone 17 is out of your budget due to rising prices, then some great smartphone options up to Rs 80 thousand are also available in the market. These include OnePlus 15 which is priced at Rs 72,999, OnePlus 13 which is priced at Rs 69,999, and iQOO 15 which is priced at Rs 72,999.
