With Republic Day approaching, Flipkart has announced major discounts on the iPhone 17, bringing its effective price below Rs 70,000 through exchange offers. The sale starts on January 17, 2026, and will be available for a limited period.
E-commerce platforms are offering big discounts on various products to mark Republic Day, including Apple's flagship iPhone 17. During Flipkart's sale, the iPhone 17, launched in India at Rs 82,900, will be available for Rs 74,900, potentially including bank offers. On top of that, an additional Rs 5,000 discount is available with the exchange of an old device, bringing the effective price to Rs 69,900. This bonus will be added to the exchange value of the device.
The sale begins on January 17, 2026, and will run for a limited period only. The iPhone 17 was launched just a couple of months ago and has helped Apple claim the top smartphone brand position from Samsung in 2025.
The device features a 6.1-inch OLED display with ProMotion support, delivering a 120Hz refresh rate. It also includes an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare during outdoor use. For performance, it is powered by the new A19 chipset, which handles multitasking and extended gaming sessions, such as BGMI, with ease.
The camera system includes a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens paired with a 48-megapixel main sensor, both delivering impressive results for social media sharing. The front camera uses a new 18-megapixel Center Stage sensor that enables ultrawide selfies without rotating the phone.
Apple promises all-day battery life for the iPhone 17, which lasts a full day on a single charge even after prolonged gaming. It supports USB-C and MagSafe for charging.
