If you were waiting for a special offer to buy Apple iPhone 17 at a lower price, then there is good news for you. Under a special bank offer running on Flipkart, this phone can be purchased for less than ₹ 70,000. Although its launch price was typical for a premium flagship smartphone, this current deal makes this offer even more special.
Huge price drop on Flipkart
The launch price of the 256GB variant of iPhone 17 was fixed at ₹82,900. However, when it is purchased on Flipkart using Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card or Flipkart SBI Credit Card, its effective price comes down to just ₹69,160. This means customers can avail a total benefit of up to ₹13,460. This offer is available for a limited time and is only for select cardholders. Therefore, if you are planning to buy it, it would be better if you decide quickly.
Base model now has “Pro” like features
This time Apple has significantly upgraded the base model of iPhone 17. It now features a 120Hz ProMotion display—a feature previously only available on “Pro” models. Apart from this, it also includes LTPO panel and Always-On Display. Its screen supports up to 3000 nits peak brightness and is protected by Ceramic Shield 2. This phone runs on the new A19 chipset, which provides tremendous performance and better AI capabilities. It also has an 18-megapixel front camera.
Should you buy it?
At an effective price of less than ₹70,000, the iPhone 17 makes for a great option—especially for users who previously ignored base iPhone models due to their limited features. Now it has features like 48-megapixel primary camera, ultra-wide lens, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, USB-C connectivity, Action Button and many advanced controls for the camera. However, it’s also worth keeping in mind that at the same price, some Android flagship smartphones offer faster charging speeds and more camera options. Still, Apple’s software, long-term update support, and great ecosystem make it special.
