Apple iPhone 17 available at Rs. 74,990? Check Flipkart Republic Day Sale early deals
Flipkart’s Republic Day Sale 2026 is set to begin on January 17, and ahead of the main event, early bird deals are already live for shoppers across India. Among the biggest highlights this year is a significant price drop on Apple’s latest smartphone, the Apple iPhone 17, making it more accessible for buyers planning an upgrade.
iPhone 17 available at reduced price
As part of the early deals, the Apple iPhone 17 is currently available on Flipkart at an effective price of Rs. 74,990. This price includes a combination of direct discounts, exchange benefits, and eligible bank offers. Customers can choose from five colour options: Lavender, Mist Blue, Sage Green, White, and Black.
This marks a notable reduction from the launch price of Rs. 82,900 for the base 256GB storage variant. Apple introduced the iPhone 17 in September 2025 in India and other global markets.
Display and build upgrades
The iPhone 17 comes with a larger 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, offering a smooth refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It also features Ceramic Shield 2 protection for enhanced durability and delivers peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. Compared to the iPhone 16’s 6.1-inch display and 60Hz refresh rate, this is a clear upgrade. The device also carries an IP68 rating, ensuring resistance to dust and water.
Performance and camera improvements
Powering the iPhone 17 is Apple’s new A19 chipset, paired with a 16-core Neural Engine. According to Apple, this processor offers around 40% better CPU performance than its predecessor, delivering smoother multitasking and improved efficiency.
On the camera front, the smartphone features a dual rear camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary sensor and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera. For selfies and video calls, it includes an 18-megapixel Centre Stage front camera, similar to what is seen on the Pro models.
Sale details and bank offers
The Flipkart Republic Day Sale 2026 officially starts on January 17, with Flipkart Plus and Black members getting 24-hour early access to deals. Buyers can also avail a 10% instant discount along with easy EMI options when using HDFC Bank credit cards.
With early deals already live and limited-time offers in place, this could be an ideal opportunity for consumers to purchase the iPhone 17 at one of its lowest effective prices since launch.
