September 19 marks the beginning of iPhone 17 sales across the world, including India. As expected, Apple fans seem to be over the moon about getting their hands on these brand new iPhones. The range, which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air, brings substantial upgrades to the core iPhone experience, which, along with iOS 26, aims to offer a premium overall user experience.
And it seems that a lot of people are eager to welcome these new iPhones into their households. From early morning queues snaking outside Apple Stores in cities like Delhi and Mumbai to a flurry of online orders, it’s clear that the new iPhone lineup has captivated the nation.
Retailers are fanning the flames of excitement with a host of launch offers designed to entice the Indian market. Major stores like Reliance Digital and Croma are offering generous bank discounts, exchange bonuses, and no-cost EMI options in association with banks. These incentives are expected to make the premium-priced iPhones more accessible to the masses.

However, the country has polarising opinions on these iPhone 17 models and the excitement surrounding them. While some are excited to see India’s commitment to these brand new and expensive phones, others are criticising the youth for wasting their time, efforts, and money on these products.
