Apple Valentine’s Day Sale: Big discounts on iPhone 17 series and MacBook Air models
Apple has launched Valentine’s Day offers in India, bringing bank-backed discounts on popular devices like iPhone 17 series, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and many more.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Apple has introduced a series of festive offers for Indian buyers who might be planning a tech upgrade to coincide with their celebrations. The deals are now live on Apple’s official India website and cover a wide lineup, ranging from the latest iPhone 17 series to MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models as well as iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watch options. Like most of Apple’s seasonal sales, these are not flat price cuts but bank-linked cashback offers that quietly reduce the final bill at checkout. Here’s everything you need to know.
Apple Valentine’s Day Sale: Big discounts on iPhone 17 series and MacBook Air models
For many buyers the spotlight will be on Apple laptops. The newly launched MacBook Air with M4 chip is part of the Valentine’s Day sale with an instant cashback of Rs 10,000. The 13-inch model, which started at Rs 99,900 in India, effectively comes down to Rs 89,900 after the offer is applied. Apple says cashback appears automatically during checkout, so customers can see the lower price before completing a purchase. This offer is available on payment through ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and American Express cards.
The same Rs 10,000 cashback is also applicable on select MacBook Pro variants. The 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M4 chip, which was originally priced at Rs 1,69,900, is now available at an effective price of Rs 1,59,900. Meanwhile, the larger 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip, which was launched at Rs 2,49,900, has been reduced to Rs 2,39,900 after cashback. These offers bring Apple’s premium laptops a little closer to reaching buyers who were already considering an upgrade.
However, buyers focused solely on the lowest possible price may still want to look beyond Apple’s own stores. Online platforms like Amazon are currently offering better deals on the MacBook Air M4. The base variant with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage is listed at a starting price of Rs 92,900, without waiting for the cashback. Additionally, an additional discount of Rs 5,000 is available on ICICI and Axis Bank cards, taking the final price to around Rs 87,900. This makes it a more aggressive deal than Apple’s official offer, although the same additional discount is not available on MacBook Pro models at the retailer right now.
On the smartphone front, Apple’s Valentine’s Day sale includes the iPhone 17 series. Buyers can avail Rs 5,000 instant cashback on the latest iPhones through the official website. iPhone 17 Pro, which has an MRP of Rs 1,34,900, effectively becomes Rs 1,29,900 with the offer. A similar bank offer is also available for the iPhone 17 Pro Max model. However, the standard iPhone 17 is only listed with a bank discount offer of Rs 1,000, so consumers should wait for a better deal on this phone. Apple is also offering Rs 4,000 cashback on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. That said, these prices may still be higher than the deals available on some e-commerce platforms that bundle bank offers with exchange bonuses, making it worthwhile to compare before pressing the buy button.
Festive offers are not limited to phones and laptops. Apple has also launched discounts 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 has got a price cut of Rs 2,000. Audio products are also part of the sale, with both AirPods Pro (3rd generation) and AirPods 4 eligible for Rs 1,000 instant cashback.
Tablet buyers also have something to look forward to this Valentine’s Day. The latest iPad Air models in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes come with a cashback of Rs 4,000, while the standard iPad and iPad mini are available with a discount of up to Rs 3,000. As always, people are advised to check all available platforms, accumulate eligible bank offers wisely, and choose the deal that makes the most sense before the festive window closes.
