Apple just raised Mac and iPad prices in India: MacBook Pro now starts at Rs 2.39 lakh, see all the new prices here

Apple's revised pricing for India is now in effect, making Macs and iPads more expensive across the lineup. The company says rising RAM and storage costs, driven by surging demand from AI data centres and cloud infrastructure, forced it to raise prices after months of absorbing higher component expenses. The updated pricing sees the MacBook Air start at 1.49 lakh and the MacBook Pro at 2.39 lakh, while iPads and desktop Macs have also become costlier. Apple has indicated that these increases are unlikely to be temporary, highlighting how the global AI boom is beginning to impact everyday consumer electronics and purchasing decisions.
