iPhone 17 available at reduced price

As part of the early deals, the iPhone 17 is currently listed on Flipkart at an effective price of Rs. 74,990. This price factors in a direct discount, exchange benefits and select bank offers. The handset is available in five colour options, namely Lavender, Mist Blue, Sage Green, White and Black.

The discounted price marks a notable reduction from the iPhone 17’s launch price of Rs. 82,900 for the base 256GB storage variant. Apple introduced the iPhone 17 in India and other global markets in September 2025.

Display and build upgrades

The iPhone 17 features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It also offers improved durability with Ceramic Shield 2 protection and delivers peak brightness levels of up to 3,000 nits.

The device carries an IP68 rating, ensuring resistance against dust and water.
