As Diwali approaches, Apple has launched its annual festive promotions in India. The company is providing instant cashback and limited-time offers across a variety of products including the iPhone 17 series, MacBooks, iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watch models. While Apple’s official site lists appealing discounts, competing retailers like Vijay Sales and Croma are enhancing the offers with additional savings. Significant Discounts on MacBooks According to Apple’s website, the newly released MacBook Air M4 is available with an instant cashback of Rs 10,000. Initially priced at Rs 99,900 in India, the 13-inch model can now be acquired for an effective price of Rs 89,900 through eligible bank promotions.
This discount is automatically applied at checkout for customers using ICICI, Axis, or American Express cards. The same festive cashback applies to the premium MacBook Pro line, with the 14-inch MacBook Pro featuring the M4 chip reduced from Rs 1,69,900 to Rs 1,59,900. Additionally, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip sees a price drop from Rs 2,49,900 to Rs 2,39,900 during this sale. However, offline and online retailers are offering even larger discounts. For instance, Vijay Sales is selling the MacBook Air M4 (16GB + 256GB) at Rs 89,990 with an upfront Rs 10,000 discount.
The platform also offers an extra Rs 10,000 cashback on SBI and ICICI cards, reducing the effective price to Rs 79,990, resulting in a total savings of Rs 20,000. Unfortunately, these larger discounts do not apply to the MacBook Pro models. iPhone 17 Festive Offers For those interested in the latest iPhone, Apple is providing an instant Rs 5,000 cashback on the iPhone 17 series. The standard iPhone 17, which is priced at Rs 82,900, is effectively available for Rs 77,900 on Apple’s online store. Competing retailers like Croma and Vijay Sales are offering discounts of up to Rs 6,000 through partnerships with ICICI and SBI.
Additionally, the previous generation iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come with Rs 4,000 cashback on Apple’s website. As with the MacBooks, consumers are encouraged to compare offers across platforms, considering exchange deals and card discounts to maximize their savings. Offers on iPads, AirPods, and Watches Apple has also applied its Diwali promotions to other product categories. The Apple Watch Series 11 includes a Rs 4,000 bank discount, while the more affordable Apple Watch SE 3 has a Rs 2,000 reduction. Music enthusiasts can purchase the latest AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 with an instant cashback of Rs 1,000.
For tablets, the new iPad Air (11-inch and 13-inch) models come with Rs 4,000 cashback, while the standard iPad and iPad mini versions are discounted by Rs 3,000. Apple’s Diwali sale presents a solid opportunity for consumers to upgrade to the latest devices, especially when combined with bank deals. However, with third-party sellers providing more aggressive discounts, shoppers might discover even greater value beyond Apple’s official store during this festive season.
