MUMBAI: Apple Inc has increased the prices of most of its iPhone models sold in India after the government last week raised taxes on imported phones in a bid to boost domestic manufacturing. 

Barring its locally-assembled iPhone SE model, Apple raised prices of iPhone handsets by an average 3.5%, according to a price sheet reviewed by Reuters.
