The top-end variant of Apple's first foldable iPhone Duo reportedly costs ₹4,49,900 in India. For comparison, 25 grams of 24K gold costs approximately ₹3.73 lakh-₹3.88 lakh, while a Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 costs around ₹4.45 lakh on-road. The same budget could also fund a Bangkok holiday for two or earn about ₹29,243 annually in an FD at 6.5%
