But wait, there’s more. If you pay using select bank credit or debit cards, you can get an additional Rs 4,000 off at checkout. That means the iPhone 17 effectively comes down to Rs 74,900.
If you’re upgrading from an older phone, the savings don’t stop there. Flipkart is offering an exchange bonus of up to Rs 3,000 on top of your device’s trade-in value. Combine that with the instant and card discounts, and you could easily shave off more than Rs 10,000 from the launch charge.
Of course, there’s a catch: the offer is only available while stocks last. Given how quickly Apple deals tend to vanish, anyone serious about upgrading might want to act sooner rather than later.

iPhone 17: Is it worth it?
Apple’s iPhone 17 continues the company’s love affair with refined design and performance power. The device features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with HDR10 support and a whopping 3000 nits of peak brightness and 120Hz refreshment rate.
Under the hood, the iPhone 17 runs on Apple’s A19 Bionic chip, based on TSMC’s 3nm fabrication process. It’s a six-core processor with two high-performance cores and four efficiency cores, paired with 8GB of RAM. Storage options start at 256GB and go up to 512GB, giving users plenty of room for photos, apps, and all those 4K videos you’ll inevitably take.

Speaking of videos, the camera setup on the iPhone 17 is another massive draw. The dual 48-megapixel sensors, one wide and one ultrawide. The ultrawide sensor even supports up to 8x optical zoom, while the front 18-megapixel camera ensures crisp selfies and video calls.
At Rs 74,999, the iPhone 17’s value proposition suddenly looks far stronger than it did at launch. The combination of Flipkart’s discount, card offers, and exchange bonuses makes it one of the leading deals on a flagship Apple device right now.
So, if you’ve been putting off upgrading your old iPhone or are simply curious about what Apple’s latest has to offer, this limited-time value drop might be the nudge you’ve been waiting for. Just don’t wait too long, those “out of stock” banners have a habit of appearing faster than an iPhone battery drains on launch day.
