Consequences

The result of the latest development is that users will now have to pay Rs 8,000 more to buy the cheapest available iPhone which is the iPhone 6s that sells for Rs 29,500. Prior to this, the iPhone SE was being sold in India for a little over Rs 21,000.

Why is Apple discontinuing low-end iPhones?

The latest move by Apple comes after it was reported that India-made iPhone XR and iPhone XS will start selling in the country from August. This will be a driving factor in reducing the prices of iPhones in India as Apple tries to push its sales in the second-largest smartphone market in the world. The company currently hold a market share of just 1 per cent in India.

Apple’s production partner, Foxconn started conducting production trials for new iPhones in India in April with mass production planned sometime this month.
