In India, Apple has increased the cost of its AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation), and AirPods Max by up to 10%.

However, it has been speculated that the price increase was caused by India's recent decision to raise customs duties, which will affect items imported from other nations. Apple exclusively assembles a few iPhone models in India, including the iPhone 12, iPhone 11, and iPhone SE. The iPhone 13 is also likely to be manufactured in India beginning next month.

Pururaj Dutta, a tipster, was the first to notice Apple's pricing increase. As a result of the price increases, Apple AirPods Pro are now available in India for Rs 26,300, up from Rs 24,900. The AirPods (3rd generation) are now priced at Rs 20,500, up from Rs 18,500, while the AirPods Max? are now priced at Rs 66,100, up from Rs 59,900.
