Launched in September last year, the iPhone 17 series is among the only few lineups that haven’t received a price hike, at least yet, due to the industry-wide memory crisis. However, with rumours looming around that Apple’s current generation of iPhones could soon see a price increase, it’s a wise move to grab the devices right now if you’ve been longing to get one. The iPhone 17 Pro is currently selling at a discounted price on multiple online retailers, such as Croma and Flipkart. On that note, here’s the breakdown of the deal:

Should you buy the iPhone 17 Pro or wait for the iPhone 18 series?
With the Apple iPhone 17 Pro going for as low as Rs 1,18,900, it sure looks like a great deal for those seeking a full-fledged flagship smartphone or those upgrading from older iPhones. Featuring the Apple A19 Pro processor, the iPhone 17 Pro will be supported for years to come with software updates, while its daily performance paired with 120Hz ProMotion remains top-notch.
For photographers, there are triple 48MP cameras comprising a primary lens, an ultrawide, and a telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom. Videographers can take advantage of the phone’s ProRes RAW format to shoot videos in clear detail and colour grade later, while photos take advantage of Apple’s advanced algorithms for reliable results.
Furthermore, with the iOS 27 update just around the corner, users will finally gain access to Siri AI, along with a slew of earlier promised Apple Intelligence features to aid in their daily workflow. As for whether you should grab the iPhone 17 Pro right now or wait for the iPhone 18 Pro series, reports suggest the upcoming Pro iPhones will be a marginal upgrade over the 17 Pro series, with advancements in performance and improved cameras, while seeing a noticeable price increase. Therefore, if you’re not willing to pay over Rs 1,50,000 for a new iPhone, the stated iPhone 17 Pro deal could be the best time to bag the phone.
