Apple has reduced the price of its iPhone models in India. The recent price cut is available on many iPhone models including iPhone 15 and iPhone 14. Due to the price cut some of the popular iPhone models have seen a price drop from Rs 300 to Rs 6,000. This development has come a few days after the government of India reduced basic customs duty on mobile phones, mobile PCBAs, and mobile chargers from the current 20 percent to 15 percent.
