Amazon currently lists the iPhone 17 (256 GB) at a standard retail price of Rs 82,900. Despite the availability of promotions and exchange offers, the listing largely reflects this regular price. In contrast, Flipkart presents the same model at approximately Rs 78,900, influenced by overall Black Friday discounts, although verified listings suggest that the iPhone 17’s price has not significantly dropped below retail.
At Croma, substantial discounts have been noted, offering consumers the chance to purchase the iPhone 17 for as little as Rs 45,900. This reduced price includes a Rs 1,000 bank cashback, a Rs 7,000 flat exchange bonus, and trade-in values for eligible old devices, resulting in one of the most significant discounts this season for the model that originally launched in India at Rs 82,900.

Powering the device is the new A19 chipset, which Apple claims to have designed to handle demanding apps, gaming, and multitasking with greater speed and efficiency while maintaining strong battery management for longer use throughout the day.
The iPhone 17 introduces a significantly upgraded 18-megapixel Centre Stage selfie camera. This enhancement not only sharpens image quality but also leverages intelligent framing capabilities to keep users perfectly centred during video calls, even when they move around.
The rear camera system continues to feature Apple’s dual-camera setup, now consisting of a 48-megapixel main lens paired with a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens.
The iPhone 17 now supports 40W wired fast charging, reducing downtime by allowing the battery to power up faster than previous models. This upgrade particularly benefits users who rely heavily on their device throughout the day, ensuring they can return to full power in less time and stay connected when it matters most.
