Apple’s iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, has launched globally, attracting attention for its advanced features and sleek design.

The US continues to be one of the cheapest markets for iPhones. The iPhone 17 (256GB) costs $799 (Rs 66,800), while the iPhone 17 Air is priced at $999 (Rs 83,400). Even the iPhone 17 Pro ($1,299 / Rs 1,06,000) and Pro Max ($1,449 / Rs 1,18,000) are significantly more affordable than in India.
