iPhone 16e with 128 GB available on Amazon with 43% discount

Smartphone sales are increasing during the festive season, and during this time, the iPhone 17 may be available for around ₹54 thousand. Similarly, the effective price of the iPhone 17 Pro is also reported to be around ₹57 thousand during the sale.

In Flipkart's Big Billion Days Sale, the listed price for the 256GB model of the iPhone 17 is ₹86,999, while its displayed price on the platform is ₹99,900. Customers can further reduce the cost by availing bank offers and exchange benefits.

If you have an eligible credit card from Flipkart Axis Bank or Flipkart SBI, you may receive a discount of up to ₹5,000, bringing the phone's price down to ₹81,999. Additionally, further benefits can be obtained by exchanging an old phone. For instance, according to reports, exchanging an eligible iPhone 14 could yield a benefit of ₹27,850. Adding this amount to the ₹5,000 bank discount makes the effective price of the iPhone 17 ₹54,149.

For users who wish to purchase the Pro model instead of the standard iPhone 17, a proposal from Reliance Digital is under discussion. According to reports, the effective price of the 256GB model of the iPhone 17 Pro could reach approximately ₹56,990. However, this offer is available through in-store purchases combined with various discounts and should not be considered as the directly displayed online price.

This deal reportedly includes a store discount of ₹9,910 on the phone originally priced at ₹1,34,900, an exchange value of up to ₹55,000 for the old phone, an additional exchange bonus of ₹10,000, and a bank cashback of up to ₹3,000. When all these benefits are added, the effective price becomes ₹56,990. The most crucial condition here is the value of the old phone; you will not receive ₹55,000 for every phone. The exchange value depends on the phone's model, its condition, and the terms of the offer, so be sure to check the correct price of your old phone and the eligibility for bank offers before visiting the store.

It would not be wise to buy the phone just by looking at the low price. The iPhone 17 features a 6.3-inch OLED screen that supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This means that scrolling and animations on the screen can provide a smoother experience compared to older standard 60Hz displays.

This phone is equipped with Apple's A19 chip. It has a 48-megapixel main camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the back, while the front features an 18-megapixel camera usable for selfies and video calls. Apple claims that this phone can provide up to 30 hours of video playback on a single charge.

The iPhone 17 with 256 GB capacity is being sold for R$ 5,273 via Pix on Mercado Livre. This Apple device features a 34% discount compared to its original price of R$ 7,999.

Although this is not the most advantageous offer yet disclosed, the base value of the device was adjusted by Apple in September 2026, which means the current promotion is below the recently observed average.

The iPhone 17 is equipped with two 48 MP rear cameras: a wide lens with optical image stabilization (OIS) and an ultrawide lens with a 120-degree field of view, providing high-quality recordings in open areas. The front camera, with 18 MP resolution, allows for good horizontal selfies even when the phone is used vertically. All video features record in 4K at 60 frames per second.

Its 6.3-inch OLED screen incorporates 120 Hz ProMotion technology, reaching a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits. This ensures that images are displayed with accurate colors and high fluidity during app navigation and gaming, maintaining good visibility in any lighting condition.

The Apple A19 processor, combined with 8 GB of RAM, enables the device to run complex tasks, games, and Apple Intelligence features locally, supporting intensive multitasking. The 256 GB internal storage offers considerable space for storing photos and videos.

The structure of the iPhone 17 is made of aluminum and is coated on both sides with Ceramic Shield 2 glass, providing resistance against impacts and scratches. Furthermore, the IP68 certification ensures additional protection against dust and accidental immersion.

The device's battery has a capacity of 3,692 mAh and, according to the manufacturer itself, offers autonomy for up to 30 hours of video playback. MagSafe support and 40W fast charging allow the phone to reach 50% charge in just 20 minutes, a useful feature for users with busy routines.

The 256 GB iPhone 17, currently priced at R$ 5,273 via Pix, has been updated to iOS 27 and is scheduled to receive five more operating system updates. The Apple smartphone also features 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, Ultra Wideband (UWB), NFC, and supports eSIM.
