Apple raises price of iPhone SE 3 (2022) Rs 6000 in India
Apple has increased the price of its third-gen iPhone SE in India. The iPhone SE 3, also called the iPhone SE 2022 is currently Apple’s most affordable iPhone (not including the sale prices on older iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 models).
The device was priced starting at Rs 43,900 back when it launched in March 2022. However, the price has now gone up and starts at Rs 49,900. That’s a hike of Rs 6,000, a significantly large one for the affordable iPhone.
Prices for all the other storage variants of the iPhone SE 2022 have also increased. The iPhone SE 3 128GB has gone from Rs 48,900 to Rs 54,900 and the 256GB variant has gone from Rs 58,900 to Rs 64,900.
The increased prices are seen on Apple’s website and while it is not exactly clear why Apple hiked the price of the iPhone SE 3, it could be due to a weakening Rupee against the US dollar. The iPhone SE 3 is the only 5G-enabled iPhone SE, and with Apple ditching its mini-series going forward, it remains the most compact 5G-enabled iPhone as well.
Users looking forward to buying the iPhone SE 2022 can also check Flipkart, where the 64GB and 128GB variants of the device are available slightly cheaper, but there’s no 256GB variant in stock.
