Standing in a queue outside an Apple Store for the latest iPhone used to be the price of admission for launch day. Not anymore. As the iPhone 18 Pro Max and Pro officially hit the shelves in India, Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart have quietly turned themselves into the fastest Apple stores in the country, making buyers skip the line altogether and delivering the iPhone straight at your door. Both the iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro are up for grabs in all four colours, and there's bank discounts and no-cost EMI thrown in too, so the only real decision left is which colour survives the unboxing video. With iPhone 18 Pro Max and Pro deliveries by Apple itself slipping into October, these offers do acquire some importance.
In fact, there is some some good news and some not so good. Notably, Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart have rolled out bank offers worth up to Rs. 7,000 on iPhone 18 Pro Max and Pro spanning Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and other credit cards. However, the twist is that the stocks have already sold out!
At Blinkit, Albinder Dhindsa took to X to post, "New launch: iPhone 18 Pro is now available on Blinkit (in all 4 colours)".
Queuing up was never really the fun part about getting the latest iPhone, and now it does not have to be. Blinkit is offering discounts on both the iPhone 18 Pro Max and Pro with select credit cards, alongside no-cost EMI, and the delivery covers Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, Jaipur and Lucknow on launch day itself.
