Apple has reached a significant milestone of 50 years, and to mark the occasion, the tech giant is offering special deals in India. These exclusive anniversary offers can be found on the official Apple India website and at authorized retailers like Imagine Store. While the discounts may not seem substantial initially, they do reduce the prices of various premium Apple products when combined with exchange offers or bank cashback deals. The discounted products include models from the iPhone 17 series and MacBook Air lineup.
As part of the anniversary sale, Apple is providing cashback deals on its latest laptops, including those featuring the new M5 chip. For example, the 13-inch MacBook Air is eligible for an instant cashback of Rs 7,000, lowering its price from Rs 1,19,900 to Rs 1,12,900. Customers can avail of this offer by using ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, or American Express cards during checkout.
Moreover, there are higher cashback offers available for select MacBook Pro models. Customers can enjoy discounts of up to Rs 10,000 on specific variants. For instance, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip is now priced at Rs 1,79,900, down from Rs 1,89,900. Similarly, the 16-inch model with the M5 Pro chip sees a price reduction from Rs 2,99,900 to Rs 2,89,900. While these devices remain premium, the anniversary discounts make it slightly more affordable for those looking to upgrade to newer hardware.
For shoppers seeking the best deals, third-party platforms like Vijay Sales are offering competitive discounts on the MacBook Air M5, especially when combined with bank promotions, making it a compelling alternative to purchasing directly from Apple.
In terms of smartphones, Apple’s anniversary sale includes cashback offers on the iPhone 17 series. Buyers can receive an instant discount of Rs 5,000 on models such as the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max by using eligible bank cards. This offer reduces the price of the iPhone 17 Pro from Rs 1,34,900 to Rs 1,29,900.
While the standard iPhone 17 does not have a direct offer on Apple’s website, third-party retailers like Vijay Sales are providing discounts on the device, potentially offering better deals for budget-conscious consumers.
The anniversary sale also extends to previous generations, with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus available with a Rs 4,000 cashback offer, catering to buyers who prefer not to invest in the latest models.
Apart from smartphones and laptops, a wide range of Apple products are included in the anniversary sale. The Apple Watch Series 11 comes with a Rs 4,000 bank discount, while the more affordable Apple Watch SE 3 receives a Rs 2,000 price cut. Additionally, audio products such as AirPods Pro (3rd generation) and AirPods 4 are part of the promotion, each offering a Rs 1,000 cashback.
Tablet enthusiasts can also benefit from the sale, as iPad Air models in 11-inch and 13-inch variants are eligible for Rs 4,000 cashback, while the standard iPad and iPad mini have discounts of up to Rs 3,000.
Overall, although these anniversary offers may not be the most significant discounts Apple has ever provided, they do make premium devices more accessible to consumers. Buyers looking to upgrade can maximize their savings by combining these deals with exchange offers, additional bank discounts, or by comparing prices across various platforms before making a purchase.
