Apple has completed 50 years, and while the company is celebrating the milestone globally, buyers in India are also getting a chance to grab some limited-time deals. The brand has quietly rolled out anniversary offers on its official Apple India website, alongside promotions at authorised retail partners like Imagine Store. While the discounts may not look massive at first glance, they still bring down the effective price of several premium Apple products, especially when combined with exchange offers or bank cashback deals. You will see discount offers on iPhone 17 series models, MacBook Air models, and more. Here are all the details.
Apple 50-year anniversary sale: Up to Rs 10,000 discount on iPhone 17 series, MacBook Air
Apple’s anniversary sale includes cashback deals on its latest laptops, including models powered by the new M5 chip. The MacBook Air is available with an instant cashback of Rs 7,000, bringing the effective price of the 13-inch model down from Rs 1,19,900 to Rs 1,12,900. The discount is applicable when customers use ICICI Bank, Axis Bank or American Express cards, and the reduced price is visible during checkout.
There are also higher cashback offers on MacBook Pro models. Apple is giving up to Rs 10,000 off on select variants. For instance, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip drops from Rs 1,89,900 to Rs 1,79,900 after applying the offer. Similarly, the 16-inch model with the M5 Pro chip sees its price reduced from Rs 2,99,900 to Rs 2,89,900. While these are still premium devices, the anniversary discount slightly eases the upgrade cost for buyers planning to move to newer hardware.
That said, buyers looking for the lowest price may still find better deals on third-party platforms. Retailers like Vijay Sales are currently offering steeper discounts on the MacBook Air M5, especially when combined with bank offers, making it a more attractive option compared to Apple’s official store.
On the smartphone side, Apple’s anniversary sale includes cashback offers on the iPhone 17 series. Buyers can get an instant Rs 5,000 discount on models like the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max when using eligible bank cards. This brings the effective price of the iPhone 17 Pro down from Rs 1,34,900 to Rs 1,29,900.
Interestingly, the standard iPhone 17 does not have a direct offer on Apple’s website, but third-party retailers are stepping in with discounts. Vijay Sales, for example, is offering the device at a lower starting price along with additional bank discounts, which could make it a better deal for budget-conscious buyers.
Apple has also included the previous generation in the sale. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are available with a Rs 4,000 cashback offer, giving buyers another option if they are not keen on paying for the latest models.
Beyond smartphones and laptops, the anniversary sale covers a wide range of Apple products. The Apple Watch Series 11 comes with a Rs 4,000 bank discount, while the more affordable Apple Watch SE 3 gets a Rs 2,000 price cut. Audio products like AirPods Pro (3rd generation) and AirPods 4 are also part of the offer, each receiving a Rs 1,000 cashback.
Tablet buyers are not left out either. The iPad Air models in both 11-inch and 13-inch variants are available with Rs 4,000 cashback, while the standard iPad and iPad mini get discounts of up to Rs 3,000.
Overall, while the anniversary offers may not be the steepest Apple has ever provided, they still help reduce the cost of premium devices. Buyers planning an upgrade may benefit more by combining these deals with exchange offers and additional bank discounts, or by comparing prices across platforms before making a purchase.
