If you've been keeping an eye on the new iPhone 17 for a while, your patience is about to pay off. In its Valentine's Day campaign, Tata-owned retailer Croma is launching a stacked-discount promotion to reduce the price of the base 256GB model by nearly 42%.
Here's the math: How to get the ₹47,742 price tag
The high price of ₹47,742 is an "effective" price achieved through a combination of four different tiers of savings. Here's the breakdown:
| Offer Type | Amount |
| Launch Price (256GB) | ₹82,900 |
| Instant Store Discount | – ₹1,658 |
| Instant Bank Cashback (Select Cards) | – ₹2,000 |
| Croma Exchange Bonus | – ₹8,000 |
| Max Exchange Value (Old Phone) | – ₹23,500 |
| Effective Final Price | ₹47,742 |
Note: To reach this point, you would have to trade in a good old handmaiden iPhone with which your son has grown up. 12.
Can the iPhone 17 Get Upgraded?
In fact, the iPhone 17 is seen as a "corrective" year for Apple as it delivers some features not offered by the earlier base unit:
- ProMotion Display: For the first time, this year's iPhone runs on a 120Hz Super Retina XDR touchscreen monitor, which dramatically smoothens scrolling.
- The A19 chip: Built from an elite 3nm chip, the A19 features a 40% CPU uplift compared to the iPhone 16.
- Enhanced Selfies: An 18MP front camera with Center Stage support makes the iPhone the ultimate in iPad-level video calling. Accelerated Charging: The device now supports 40W wired charging, a significant increase from the 20W-27W limit of previous generations.
Where to Buy?
This ₹47,742 deal is available only in Croma offline stores and the Croma online portal. With Flipkart and Amazon conducting their own Valentine's promotions, while their actual effective prices hover in the range of ₹55,000–₹58,000, Croma is currently the leader for this model.
