MacBook prices in India increased by up to Rs 10,000

While the entire world's attention was focused on the launch event of the new MacBook Pro, Apple India quietly increased the price of MacBook by Rs 10,000. This change in MacBook prices happened last week. And Apple India's website has been updated to reflect the new prices.

The price of 12-inch MacBook now starts at Rs 1,12,900, which is Rs 6,000 more than last October. The prices of the entire Mac series were also updated in October last year. At the same time, the retail prices of MacBook Pro with faster processor and double SSD storage has now increased by Rs 10,000 from Rs 1,29,990 to Rs 1,39,900. MacBook prices in the US have not changed. Please note that these are the maximum retail prices and these products may be available at lower prices in online and offline stores.

The MacBook was updated in April this year with sixth-generation Intel Skylake processors, faster RAM and PCIE-based flash storage. Apart from the Space Grey, Gold and Silver variants, a new Rose Gold color variant was also made available.

The MacBook is Apple's smallest portable Mac, following the discontinuation of the 11-inch MacBook Air. Even if the 13-inch MacBook Air is not available in the near future, it is expected that the MacBook will be updated and may be introduced as a new entry-level portable Mac.
