Apple fans waiting for a more affordable way to buy the iPhone 17 may have a reason to keep an eye on Flipkart’s upcoming Big Billion Days sale. The e-commerce platform has teased a ₹7X,XXX starting price for the iPhone 17, indicating that the phone could effectively be available for under ₹80,000 during the festive sale. However, Flipkart has not revealed the exact selling price yet.
iPhone 17 Deal Teased on Flipkart
The iPhone 17 has appeared on Flipkart’s Big Billion Days 2026 promotions with a price tag shown as “From ₹7X,XXX”. While the teaser confirms that the effective price is expected to fall below ₹80,000, the exact figure and the conditions attached to the offer are still unclear.
This is particularly notable because the 256GB iPhone 17 is currently listed around the ₹99,000 mark on Flipkart. Apple had originally launched the 256GB model in India at ₹82,900 before increasing its official price to ₹99,900.
The final deal price could depend on factors such as bank discounts, exchange benefits, EMI offers and other promotional discounts. Buyers should therefore check the complete offer terms before treating the teased figure as the final amount payable.
When Does Flipkart Big Billion Days 2026 Start?
Flipkart has confirmed that the Big Billion Days 2026 sale will begin on October 9. Eligible customers will get access a day earlier, from October 8. This includes Flipkart Plus and VIP members, along with eligible Flipkart credit card holders.
The platform has also started its Early Bird Deals, giving shoppers a preview of selected products and upcoming offers ahead of the main sale. These deals went live on September 24.
Bank Offers and Discounts
Bank offers are expected to play an important role in determining the effective price of smartphones during the sale. Flipkart has announced 10% instant savings on select Axis Bank and ICICI Bank cards for the Big Billion Days event. Additional payment, cashback and EMI benefits may also be available on eligible purchases.
For the iPhone 17 specifically, shoppers should wait for Flipkart to disclose the complete pricing structure before calculating the final cost.
iPhone 17: Key Specifications
The iPhone 17 features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with ProMotion and up to a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It is powered by Apple’s A19 chip and comes with a dual rear camera setup comprising 48MP main and 48MP ultrawide sensors. An 18MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. The phone also carries an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
With the Big Billion Days teaser pointing towards a price below ₹80,000, the iPhone 17 is likely to be one of the smartphones closely watched when Flipkart reveals the final offers.
