With Apple Store India going live, many tried to pick their favourite Apple product or products at the earliest. And many others tried window shopping and were taken aback by the price of Mac Pro.
As per the Apple India store, full-equipped Mac Pro can cost around Rs 60 lakh. This has come as a shock for few who were not expecting the pricing to be that high.
I can get a Mac Pro (everything max with steel framed wheels and pro stand) now at just ₹60 lakhs. Sweet! #AppleStoreindia #appleindia pic.twitter.com/5lPO5lnUGp

Many even commented that selling a kidney in that case will not be enough to buy this Apple Product. This association of selling kidney for an Apple products have regularly surfaced every time a new product is released in the market. This time it happened due to the launch of online Apple store.

One Twitter user even went on to say that the Banks might even come up with a loan dedicated for Apple’s Mac Pro.

Ridiculous. https://t.co/yMQ19Als0t
There is a huge difference in pricing of Apple products sold in the US market and products sold in India. This is mainly due to the taxes these products attract.
I priced a fully loaded Mac Pro for India(because why not) and figured out government eats 20K$$ or >15 lac rupees in taxes !! #NamasteFromApple https://t.co/XUCC81IK2H
