If you're planning to buy an iPhone 17 Pro, there's a major deal worth checking out. Croma is offering a combination of exchange benefits, bank cashback and exchange bonuses that can bring the effective price of the 256GB iPhone 17 Pro down to just ₹69,990.
However, this isn't a direct price cut. To reach the headline price, buyers need to take advantage of all the eligible offers, including exchanging an old iPhone.
How can you get the iPhone 17 Pro for ₹69,990?
The effective price of the 256GB iPhone 17 Pro can fall to ₹69,990 after combining multiple benefits.
The offer includes:
-
Up to ₹4,000 bank cashback on select credit cards
-
Up to ₹44,500 exchange value for an iPhone 15 Pro, depending on its condition and model
-
An additional exchange bonus of up to ₹12,000
-
Additional savings for eligible HDFC Tata Neu cardholders, subject to applicable terms
With the full set of eligible benefits, the effective price can become significantly lower than the regular selling price.
For the 512GB iPhone 17 Pro, the effective price under the offer is stated to be around ₹88,490.
iPhone 17 Pro Max also gets a big discount
The offer isn't limited to the Pro model. Croma is also offering substantial savings on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
After combining the applicable offers, the effective price of the 256GB iPhone 17 Pro Max can come down to approximately ₹74,990, while the 512GB version can reach around ₹94,990.
The offer includes up to ₹4,000 in bank cashback, along with an exchange value of up to ₹53,000 for an iPhone 15 Pro and an additional exchange bonus of up to ₹12,000.
The actual exchange value will depend on the model and condition of the phone being traded in.
Buying online could cost you more
The ₹69,990 figure is primarily an effective price after exchange and other benefits. Customers who purchase without taking advantage of the full exchange program will pay considerably more.
From September 15, the online price listed by Croma is expected to be around:
iPhone 17 Pro
-
256GB: ₹1,26,490
-
512GB: ₹1,45,990
iPhone 17 Pro Max
-
256GB: ₹1,39,990
-
512GB: ₹1,59,990
These figures include the applicable ₹4,000 bank cashback but do not provide the same level of savings possible through the complete exchange offer.
Therefore, the ₹69,990 price is best understood as a maximum-benefit effective price, rather than the actual selling price of the phone.
Free case and AppleCare+ discount
Croma is also offering additional benefits to customers purchasing the iPhone 17 Pro series.
Buyers can receive a Hyphen Case combo worth ₹3,499 at no additional cost. Customers purchasing AppleCare+ can also get a flat 10% discount.
A six-month no-cost EMI option is also available, along with the applicable ₹4,000 cashback.
iPhone 18 Pro pre-bookings also begin
At the same time, Croma is preparing for the launch of the next-generation iPhone Pro models.
Pre-bookings for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are scheduled to begin on September 12 at 5:30 PM. Customers can pre-book at Croma stores by paying ₹5,000, while full payment will be required for pre-bookings through Croma.com, Tata Neu and BigBasket.
Croma is also offering an exchange bonus of up to ₹12,000 for customers pre-booking the new Pro models.
The Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods can also be pre-booked at Croma stores with a ₹2,000 booking amount.
Is the ₹69,990 iPhone 17 Pro deal really worth it?
The deal can certainly result in substantial savings, but buyers should remember that ₹69,990 is not the upfront price. It depends heavily on the exchange value of your existing iPhone, the additional exchange bonus and eligibility for bank offers.
If you have an eligible iPhone in good condition to exchange and qualify for the additional discounts, the deal could make the iPhone 17 Pro considerably more affordable. Without an exchange, however, the actual price will be much higher.
