The iPhone 17 Pro Max has been launched in India with four storage options: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. Prices start at Rs 1,49,900 and go up to Rs 2,29,900 for the 2TB variant. Meanwhile, the recent introduction of GST 2.0 has reduced the prices of Royal Enfield 350cc motorcycles, making them more affordable than even the top-end iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Under the new GST slabs, motorcycles with engines up to 350cc now attract 18% GST, down from the earlier 28% under GST 1.0. This reduction has lowered the ex-showroom prices of Royal Enfield models like the Bullet 350, Classic 350, and Hunter 350, with prices ranging from Rs 1,37,000 to Rs 2,15,000. Including registration, road tax, and insurance, these bikes are still available at an on-the-road (OTR) price below the 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max, making them a value-for-money option.

The Royal Enfield 350cc bikes use the J-Series single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-oil cooled engine, producing 20.2bhp and 27Nm torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. These motorcycles are known for durability, classic design, and long-term performance, offering a practical alternative to luxury gadgets like the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max, on the other hand, features a 6.9-inch ProMotion OLED display with 3000 nits brightness, LTPO panel, anti-reflective coating, and Ceramic Shield 2 for better durability. The camera system includes 48MP primary, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto sensors, along with an 18MP selfie camera, and supports ProRes Log codec for advanced video recording.

Inside, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is powered by the Apple A19 Pro chipset, built on 3nm TSMC technology for improved battery efficiency. It features a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, and enhanced modem chips. A bigger vapor cooling chamber helps manage heat during intensive tasks.

Consumers now face a choice: purchase the technologically advanced iPhone 17 Pro Max or invest in a Royal Enfield 350cc motorcycle, which is more affordable under the new GST 2.0 rates and offers long-term utility. With both options offering unique value, buyers must decide based on lifestyle needs and budget
