If the orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro seems familiar to you, then for good reason!
Many years ago, in 2010, the Nokia N8 photo flagship was released in exactly the same color.
And by the way, it also had a dedicated camera control button and a "plateau" in the camera area!
Everything new is well-forgotten old? 🌚

📊 Price Breakdown – iPhone 17 Pro (256 GB) in India
Retail Price (MRP): ₹1,34,900
---
💵 1. Base Manufacturing Cost – ~₹60,000 (~44%)
- Covers assembly in India
- Includes imported parts (85–90% of components still come from abroad)
---
🚢 2. Import Duties on Components – ~₹12,000 (~9%)
- 20% Basic Customs Duty on key parts like displays, camera modules, and chipsets
---
🏷 3. GST (18%) – ~₹20,600 (~15%)
- Applied on the final retail price, not just the base cost
---
📦 4. Logistics & Distribution – ~₹4,000 (~3%)
- Warehousing, transport, and insurance
---
🛍 5. Retailer Margin – ~₹13,000 (~10%)
- 10–12% markup for Apple Stores & authorised resellers
---
🍏 6. Apple’s India Margin – ~₹25,000 (~19%)
- Covers marketing, warranty, R&D allocation, and premium brand positioning
---
🔍 Key Takeaways
- Taxes alone (import duties + GST) make up ~24% of what you pay.
- Even with local assembly, most high-value parts are still imported, so duties remain.
- Apple’s premium pricing strategy in India adds a significant margin — savings from local assembly aren’t fully passed on.
- Rupee depreciation against the dollar in 2024–25 increased component costs.
---
💡 Reality Check
If Apple removed all import duties and kept only GST, the same iPhone 17 Pro could theoretically retail around ₹1.05–1.08 lakh — still not US pricing, but much closer.
