With the year wrapping up, iPhone enthusiasts in India have a big reason to celebrate. The iPhone 17 Pro, which has been the center of attention with its bold new design and an unusual ‘Cosmic Orange’ colourway, has finally gotten its first major discount, just as 2025 ends. And this isn’t the kind of deal where you need certain credit cards and an exchange offer to get the phone at a lower price – this is an actual deal where those with no credit cards or phones to exchange can get a handsome discount on the device.
Major electronics retailer Vijay Sales is offering a major price reduction on the premium flagship, just months after its September 2025 debut, making it an ideal time for upgrades. The iPhone 17 Pro, which carries a launch MRP of Rs 1,34,900 for the base 256GB variant, is now listed at a discounted price of Rs 1,25,490 on Vijay Sales. This represents a flat reduction of Rs 9,410 – no hidden asterisks or unreal terms and conditions. This in itself amounts to major savings.
However, the headline discount reaches Rs 13,410 when you are factoring in additional promotions, with select bank offers providing an extra Rs 4,000 instant cashback (for instance, using SBI Bank credit cards), bringing the effective price down to Rs 1,21,490. There’s also an offer of Rs 5,000 off for customers who purchase the phone with ICICI Bank’s debit and credit card EMIs.
This offer is part of Vijay Sales’ ongoing Apple Days Sale, available both online and in stores. Interested buyers should act quickly, as such promotions on new Pro models are typically limited-time.
Why this iPhone 17 Pro deal matters
Early discounts of this magnitude on a freshly released Pro iPhone model are rare, especially without mandatory exchange requirements for the base price cut. The iPhone 17 Pro’s upgrades, especially the all-48MP camera array, enhanced zoom, and superior thermal management, make it a top choice for professionals, creators, and power users. That, along with the shiny new iOS 26 update, makes it a complete package for someone who seeks a solid all-in-one smartphone that can do anything. With this deal in place, you could have one of the best opportunities to own Apple’s flagship at a reduced price before potential stock shortages emerge in the new year.
