Do you have your eye on the newly launched iPhone 17 Pro? This may be the right time to place your order. Apple’s latest flagship is already one of the most premium and powerful smartphones you can buy in the market right now, and it’s now available with attractive discounts from both Apple and Vijay Sales. Since Apple rarely cuts the prices of its latest iPhones immediately after launch, these offers make this holiday season a surprisingly good and smart time to buy a flagship iPhone while saving some cash.

So what exactly are the deals on offer, and should you really get it? Let’s break it down step by step.

Apple Store deal on iPhone 17 Pro

Apple launches iPhone 17 Pro at a starting price of Rs 1,34,900 for the 256GB storage variant. Currently, the company is offering Rs 5,000 instant cashback on iPhone 17 Pro when purchased using eligible American Express, Axis Bank or ICICI Bank cards. This offer is available at Apple Store both online and offline at checkout.

Apart from cashback, Apple is also extending its trade-in program where buyers can exchange their old iPhone to get a discount of up to Rs 64,000. Keep in mind that the final exchange value depends on the model and condition of your existing device.

and that’s not all. Apple is also sweetening the deal with bundled features. Buyers will get three months of free Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade with the purchase of iPhone 17 Pro. This is a nice bonus if you’re already deep into the Apple ecosystem or plan to try out Apple’s services.

Vijay Sales Deal on iPhone 17 Pro

If you prefer to buy from an offline retailer or want more flexibility with bank offers, Vijay Sales also has an option worth checking out. The retailer is offering up to Rs 5,000 instant discount on iPhone 17 Pro through select bank cards including ICICI, SBI and IDFC First Bank.
Depending on the card you use, you may also be eligible for a no-cost EMI option, which can make purchases easier to manage.

But why should you get the iPhone 17 Pro?

Even after the discount, buying the iPhone 17 Pro is still an expensive deal. So is this phone really worth spending more than Rs 1 lakh? The answer to this question depends on what you’re looking for in a premium flagship.

Apart from the discount, the iPhone 17 Pro has a lot more to offer. The phone features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, which offers smooth scrolling, excellent brightness, and top-tier color accuracy. It’s immersive without being cumbersome and remains comfortable to use with one hand, especially if the Pro Max feels too big for you.

Performance is also a strong point. Powering the phone is Apple’s new A19 Pro chip, which is not only faster but also significantly cooler thanks to an improved thermal design and vapor chamber. Whether you’re gaming, editing videos, or doing heavy multitasking, the iPhone 17 Pro will handle it all without any lag or lag. In fact, the A19 Pro is one of the fastest chips you can get in a flagship right now. Paired with iOS 26, this phone is guaranteed to have software updates for several years, making it not only fast today but built to last for years.

On the camera front, the iPhone 17 Pro packs an improved triple 48-megapixel rear camera system, which includes an improved telephoto lens with 4X optical zoom and 8X optical-quality zoom. The main camera is one of the most reliable shooters on any smartphone, while video recording remains Apple’s strong suit, with pro-level controls and ProRes support. It also has a new 18-megapixel front camera, which delivers sharper selfies and better framing options.

Apple has also significantly improved the battery life of its premium flagships. The phone promises to last all day for most users and supports 40W fast charging and 25W wireless charging.

Ultimately, the decision to buy the iPhone 17 Pro depends on whether it fits your needs and budget. That said, the iPhone 17 Pro is unquestionably one of the most powerful and capable flagships on the market right now. If you want a true premium flagship with top-tier performance, excellent cameras and long-term reliability, and don’t want the size of the Pro Max, this is easily the best time to buy Apple’s new Pro iPhone.
