Retailers in India are offering substantial price cuts on the latest iPhone models, including the slimmest iPhone Air and the iPhone 17. Buyers can save up to Rs 28,910 on the iPhone Air through Vijay Sales, while Flipkart and Vijay Sales provide deals bringing the iPhone 17 down to Rs 78,900 effectively.
The iPhone Air, described as the slimmest iPhone ever made at 5.6mm thick with a premium titanium frame, is currently available on Vijay Sales for Rs 94,990, down from its launch price of Rs 1,19,900. This represents a direct discount of Rs 24,910, and with additional bank offers of up to Rs 4,000—such as on HDFC Bank credit card EMI—the total savings reach Rs 28,910. Buyers can further reduce costs through no-cost EMI options or by exchanging old phones, though exchange values depend on the model and condition.
The device features the A19 Pro chipset, akin to the iPhone 17 Pro but with one fewer GPU, delivering flagship-level performance suitable for gaming. It includes a 6.5-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate for bright, color-accurate viewing ideal for streaming. The camera setup comprises a single 48-megapixel rear lens that provides consistent results for most users, paired with an 18-megapixel front camera similar to the iPhone 17 series. Apple claims all-day battery life, supported in reviews, with MagSafe accessories available for extended use.
Separately, deals on the 256GB iPhone 17 are active on Vijay Sales and Flipkart, both listing it at the MRP of Rs 82,900. Vijay Sales offers bank discounts up to Rs 4,000 via HDFC, YES Bank, and OneCard, plus exchange options. Flipkart matches the price but enhances savings with eligible bank cards, dropping the effective cost to Rs 78,900. It also provides exchange up to Rs 59,550, including a Rs 3,000 bonus on select devices, and EMI starting at Rs 4,035 per month for 24 months.
These promotions make upgrading to recent iPhone models more accessible amid ongoing sales.
