Cupertino-based tech giant Apple launched the iPhone 17 series last month at its “Awe Dropping” event, unveiling four models, the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and the all-new iPhone Air. The lineup quickly grabbed headlines for its upgraded hardware, refreshed design and impressive sales performance in India. Priced at a starting Rs 82,900 at launch, the iPhone 17 offers a 120Hz ProMotion display, an 18-megapixel front camera and Apple’s new A19 chip under the hood. Now, in a surprising move, the iPhone 17 has received its first major price drop of over Rs 5,000 and it’s happening on Zepto of all places. iPhone 17 Sees Its First Big Discount Online Apple rarely offers early discounts on its latest iPhones, and the iPhone 17, which debuted in India at Rs 82,900, is currently listed on Zepto for Rs 78,079, marking a straight price cut of Rs 4,821. On top of that, Zepto is giving an additional Rs 250 off when you use an RBL Bank Credit Card, bringing the effective price down to Rs 77,829. This means buyers can now save a total of Rs 5,071, the first significant price cut we’ve seen on the iPhone 17 since its release.
