Apple iPhone XS Max 512 GB to cost Rs 1.45 lakh: X things you can buy at that price

Apple has dropped the new lineup of iPhones on us and they cost a ton. Should we really be surprised though? Apple has a habit of charging a massive premium for its brand name on the iPhone and that’s understandable. However, when a consumer-centric smartphone starts at Rs 1 lakh , it would seem that toning down this thunderous pricing strategy might help Apple’s dwindling sales in the Indian markets for the past couple of years.

Apple has announced that in India the pricing of the iPhone XS will start at Rs 99,990 while the iPhone XS Max will start at Rs 1,09,900.

Now I’m no one to preach to people about not buying the iPhone XS or the iPhone XS plus because it’s too expensive. I’m here to tell you that if you do skip on spending the Rs 1 lakh plus on the iPhone XS, there are many things you can buy.

For the sake of this story, let’s assume you have gone all-out and purchased the 512 GB iPhone XS Max which retails for a mind-boggling Rs 1.45 lakh. With the amount of money you spent on this iPhone XS Max 512 GB, you could have bought these X (ten) things. And even taken a vacation with your friends.
