To recall, last year countries like Dubai, the US, Hong Kong, Canada, China, UK and others were selling the iPhone 13 series at a significantly lesser price.

In the US the price of the iPhone 14 starts at $799 which translates to Rs 64,000 while the price of the Plus model begins at $899 which is about Rs 72,000.

Should you import iPhone 14 from other countries?
Importing an iPhone from other markets/countries was possible till last year but things have changed this time. However, there is a huge price difference between India and the US. You may not be able to bring it from the US which means getting an iPhone from the US will be of no use since every iPhone 14 in the US accepts eSIM and there is no SIM tray.
On the other hand, the emergency satellite connectivity capability of the iPhone 14 series is not available if you purchase an iPhone from China Mainland or Hong Kong. Instead, you can try getting an iPhone from Dubai if your relative or friend is coming to India.
