Apple has denied any price hike in India by 29% in iPhone in order to makeup for SE’s poor response rate. The company has also said that the original prices for the iPhones are available on the official website.
According to reports, which surfaced in media stated that, Apple recently had a meeting with the top executives and key distributors in India, especially in view of the launch of SE.
“The stock of SE was in any case kept at a low level,” a source said. “A strategy is being worked out to pitch the device more effectively.”

It was believed that after the price hike, iPhone 6 would cost Rs 40,000, whereas iPhone 6S would reach Rs 48,000. The other iPhone 5S would be costlier by 22%, which would make it cost nearly Rs 22,000 while its present rates are Rs 18,000.
A previous report stated that Apple is reportedly not planning to produce a large volume of the iPhone SE that it released to offset the slump of its flagship series.
Slow sales of the flagship iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus have forced Apple to lower production for the January-March quarter by about 30 percent from the year-earlier period.
