The Times of India article claiming the Apple iPhone 17 is available for just ₹47,900 on Apple's website presents a highly exaggerated and partially misleading headline. While this price is technically achievable, it is an 'effective price' and not the direct purchase price of the device. The Apple iPhone 17, which was officially announced on September 9, 2025, and released on September 19, 2025, in India, has an actual starting price of ₹82,900 for its base 256GB variant. The purported deal of ₹47,900 requires customers to leverage Apple's trade-in program. Specifically, to reach this low price point, a customer would need to trade in an eligible older model, such as an iPhone 16 in good condition, which could fetch a trade-in value of up to ₹34,000. This brings the effective cost down to approximately ₹48,900. Furthermore, an additional instant cashback of ₹1,000 on purchases made with select credit cards can reduce the price further to ₹47,900. Key features of the iPhone 17, as per various reports, include a 120Hz ProMotion display, an A19 chipset for enhanced performance, an upgraded 18-megapixel Center Stage selfie camera, and a dual 48-megapixel rear camera system. It also supports 40W wired charging. The news is specific to the Indian market, focusing on INR pricing and local retail offers. Therefore, while the heavily discounted price is possible through specific promotional mechanics, the headline's presentation is sensationalized by omitting the crucial conditions required to avail the offer.
