Things you should consider before buying an iPhone in October 2026
With the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max already on the Apple Store shelves, most of you face the same question we posed a month ago – which new iPhone is the best pick for you? In over a month since Apple released the new models, the iPhones have seen a notable price hike – the regular iPhone 17 now starts at almost Rs 1 lakh, whereas the previous generation iPhone 16 is pricier than what the iPhone 17 cost at launch!
As for the new iPhone 18 Pro models, the prices have gone up drastically, with the top variants competing with Samsung’s foldable phones. As for the iPhone Duo – the foldable iPhone – you need to shell out at least Rs 3 lakh to get the base variant.
