AI-led phone price hikes persist, hitting Indian customers

Phone prices in India have continued to rise due to AI-led supply chain disruptions. This means that budget-friendly options are becoming increasingly difficult for customers to afford. As a result, many buyers are opting to wait for sales or settling for less powerful devices, which can limit their smartphone usage. This trend is affecting the overall demand for high-end phones and potentially impacting sales of devices like those tracked by the Sensex.
