A flagship iPhone for under a lakh sounds like a typo, but this October, it is not. Flipkart, Amazon and Croma have all rolled out their festive offers on the iPhone 17 Pro, and once the cashback, card discounts and exchange bonuses stack up, the final number looks a lot friendlier than the sticker price. The catch, as always, lives in the fine print: eligibility, stock and whichever old phone you are willing to part with. Here is exactly how the three retailers compare, and what it actually takes to get an iPhone 17 Pro priced at less than Rs 100000.
On Flipkart, iPhone 17 Pro price, for the base model, is Rs 134900, with Axis Bank card users getting a Rs 4,500 discount and ICICI Bank users getting Rs 4,000 off. Factor in a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra exchange worth Rs 33150, and the price could fall to roughly Rs 97250.
Amazon, according to a TelecomTalk report, listed the same model at Rs 1,19,900, against its launch price of Rs 1,49,900, making it the steepest cut of the three. The catch, though, is that the report noted the phone was out of stock at the time, so buyers may need to keep refreshing the page.
At Croma, the 256GB iPhone 17 Pro is listed at Rs 130490 against its Rs 134900 MRP, with a further Rs 4,000 cashback on full card payment bringing it to Rs 126490. Add an exchange, say an iPhone 14 valued at Rs 24,000 plus an Rs 8,000 bonus, and the effective price drops to Rs 94490, with EMIs starting around Rs 10,943 a month over nine months.
These iPhone 17 Pro benefits ultimately hinge on exchange valuation, stock and card eligibility, so it's worth comparing checkout prices across Flipkart, Amazon and Croma before deciding where to buy.
