India Today reports that the iPhone 17 is now available on Flipkart at a starting price of Rs 80,900, down from the launch price of Rs 82,900. The flat discount of Rs 2,000 is exclusive to Flipkart, and an additional Rs 5,945 can be saved using SBI or Axis Bank credit cards. Buyers can also trade in old devices for further savings through Cashify.

The iPhone 17 Pro is also listed on Flipkart at Rs 1,29,900, a Rs 5,000 cut from its launch price of Rs 1,34,900. Bank card offers provide up to Rs 9,000 extra off, with a total discount of up to Rs 14,000. The offer's expiry date is not disclosed. Both articles describe the phones' features, including A19 and A19 Pro chips, 6.3-inch OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates, and upgraded camera systems.
Both articles are straight promotional deal announcements from India Today, with no government angle. The coverage is uniform, focusing entirely on price drops and bank offers. Readers should note that the 'lowest price' claim depends on the bank card held and the trade-in value of the old device. The expiry date of the Flipkart offer is not stated, so the deal may be time-sensitive.
