Sales were 15-20% higher than earlier models in the first 30 days, Bernstein, Counterpoint and IDC estimated.
Counterpoint’s projections showed the iPhone 17 accounted for 57% of all iPhones sold—the highest-ever adoption of Apple's latest generation smartphone in India to date. Until the iPhone 17 launch, older models dominated sales even after new launches, said IDC and Counterpoint. While these will still account for the majority of sales in FY26, the percentage of buyers choosing the newest model is on the rise.
