Royal Enfield Classic 350 vs iPhone 17 Pro Max: What’s better?
While the above heading might baffle you, it is the ironic reality that a new smartphone is now costlier to buy than a motorcycle. We are talking about the launch price of the new Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 2TB, which is ridiculously positioned at Rs 2.30 lakh.
Just for the sake of comparison, the 2TB version is much costlier than the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and the Classic 350. In fact, the Classic 350 is priced at Rs 1.97 lakh ex-showroom, while the Bullet 350 is priced at Rs 1.24 lakh only. Such a huge difference makes a motorcycle more accessible than a smartphone, which gets replaced annually with the new-gen tech and updates.
While our motto is to reflect the price difference only, it is clearly understood that the smartphone market is also revolving around great branding and marketing tactics. iPhone is one of the best phones in the market, but it is how Apple has successfully positioned itself as a lifestyle need, which is why Apple lovers stand in queues every year to buy it.
Meanwhile, motorcycles being a depreciating asset, are also one of the major lifestyle needs that people require to buy. However, unlike an iPhone, a Royal Enfield does not get replaced annually with a new-gen model.
