If you’ve been eyeing the new iPhone 17 Pro, the wait is finally over. Apple’s latest Pro iPhone is already known for its premium design and powerful performance, but the discounts available shortly after its launch have made it even more appealing. Deals running at both the Apple Store and Vijay Sales have made this expensive flagship more attractive than ever, without any compromises.
Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro in India at a starting price of Rs. 1,34,900 for the 256GB variant. Now, buying from the Apple Store offers an instant cashback of Rs. 5,000 through select American Express, Axis Bank, and ICICI Bank cards. This offer is available at both online and offline stores. Adding to the appeal is Apple’s Trade-In program. If you have an old iPhone, you can get an exchange value of up to Rs. 64,000 depending on its condition and model, significantly reducing the effective price.
That’s not all; Apple is also offering three months of free Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade to give users a taste of its services – a great bonus for those already in the Apple ecosystem. For those who prefer offline shopping or want to take advantage of different bank offers, Vijay Sales is also a strong option. Here, you can get an instant discount of up to Rs. 5,000 on cards from banks like ICICI, SBI, and IDFC First Bank. No-cost EMI options are also available, making the expensive iPhone purchase a little easier on the wallet.
Despite the discounts, the iPhone 17 Pro is not a cheap phone, so the question naturally arises: is the price truly justified? The answer is yes, if you want a premium experience. The phone features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion support. The screen is not only smooth and bright but also boasts excellent color accuracy. The size is such that the phone doesn’t feel heavy in the hand and is easy to use with one hand. In terms of performance, the new A19 Pro chip makes it incredibly powerful. Thanks to the improved thermal design and vapor chamber, the phone stays cool and smooth even during gaming or heavy multitasking. The guarantee of long-term updates with iOS 26 makes it future-proof.
The iPhone 17 Pro’s triple 48MP camera setup is more advanced than ever. The new telephoto lens offers 4x optical and 8x optical-quality zoom, resulting in professional-level output for both photos and videos. ProRes support in video recording further strengthens Apple’s reputation. The new 18MP front camera provides a better selfie and video calling experience. Battery life has also been improved. The phone easily lasts a full day with typical use, and the 40W fast charging along with 25W wireless charging support makes it even more practical.
