Apple is offering Valentine’s Day discounts on iPhone 17 series and MacBook Air models
Apple has launched Valentine’s Day offers in India, bringing bank cashback discounts on iPhone 17 series, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and other popular devices.
With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, Apple has quietly started offering festive offers on many of its popular products in India. The discount is now live on Apple’s official India website and covers a wide range of devices including the iPhone 17 series, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch models. As usual, Apple isn’t offering direct price cuts, instead relying on bank-backed cashback deals to make the most of the opportunity.
Starting with laptops, MacBook Air M4 is currently available with instant cashback of up to Rs 10,000. The 13-inch model, which was launched in India for Rs 99,900, can now be purchased at an effective price of Rs 89,900. Apple says cashback is applied automatically at checkout, making it easier for shoppers to see the final price before placing an order. This offer is valid on ICICI, Axis and American Express cards.
The same cashback of Rs 10,000 is also available on select MacBook Pro models. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 chip, which was originally priced at Rs 1,69,900, has effectively become Rs 1,59,900 with the offer. Meanwhile, the 16-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M4 Pro chip, which was launched at Rs 2,49,900, can now be had for Rs 2,39,900 after the cashback is applied.
That said, buyers looking for the lowest possible prices may still find better deals outside of Apple’s own stores. Retailers like Vijay Sales are offering huge discounts on MacBook Air M4. The base variant with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage is already listed at Rs 89,990, without any cashback waiting period. Additionally, an additional discount of Rs 5,000 is available on ICICI and Axis Bank cards, taking the final price to around Rs 84,990. This makes it a much stronger deal than Apple’s official offer. However, the same additional discount is not currently available on MacBook Pro models in the Vijay Sales.
In terms of smartphones, Apple is offering Rs 5,000 instant cashback on the iPhone 17 series through its official website. The standard iPhone 17, which has an MRP of Rs 82,900, can now be purchased at an effective price of Rs 77,900. Apple is also offering Rs 4,000 cashback on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, though these deals are still lower than what some online platforms are offering through a mix of bank and exchange benefits. Buyers are advised to compare prices on different platforms before making a purchase.
Apart from iPhone and Mac, Apple has also extended Valentine’s Day offers on its wearables and audio products. The Apple Watch Series 11 is available with a bank discount of Rs 4,000, while the Apple Watch SE 3 comes with an offer of Rs 2,000. Both AirPods Pro (3rd generation) and AirPods 4 are listed with an instant cashback of Rs 1,000.
Tablet buyers haven’t been left out either. The latest iPad Air models are available in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes with a cashback offer of Rs 4,000. Meanwhile, the standard iPad and iPad mini are being sold with a discount of up to Rs 3,000.
