The iPhone 17 arrived in 2025 with a 6.3-inch OLED display supporting 120Hz, Dolby Vision and HDR10. Its body combines an aluminum frame, glass rear and Ceramic Shield 2 front protection, plus an anti-reflective layer.

During the 2026 festive period, Amazon and Flipkart are discounting the handset. Although the base model’s price increased to Rs 99,900, listings have appeared as low as Rs 76,999. Apple is expected to introduce the standard iPhone 18 in early 2027, while the iPhone 18 Pro has reportedly seen a price rise.
Shoppers considering premium phones may benefit from festive discounts, potentially making iPhone 17 more accessible to budget-conscious buyers. Resellers and competing handset makers could face pressure to match offers. Some buyers may delay purchases if they expect iPhone 18 in early 2027, affecting upgrade cycles. The price gap between listed price and street price may shape perceptions of value and timing.
