Apple iPhone 17e gets a price cut on this platform: Should you buy now or wait?

HIGHLIGHTS

The iPhone 17e is available at a lower price, with extra bank discounts.

It offers fast performance and a decent camera for daily use.

Great for Apple fans, but lacks some modern features like smooth display and extra cameras.

Apple’s budget-friendly flagship has become even cheaper on this platform. The phone was launched at a price point of Rs 64,999, but now it is available for a lower price. Apart from this, customers can also get a discount on the price by availing a bank and card offer. The phone comes with a 6.1-inch screen and runs on the A19 chip. It has a 48MP main camera for taking photos. Some people may say that Android phones offer more features at this price, but the iPhone 17e still feels like a good deal. Let’s take a closer look at what this offer includes.

iPhone 17e deal

The device was originally launched at a price of Rs 64,900. However, it is currently listed for just Rs 62,900 on Vijay Sales’ official website. In addition to this direct discount, buyers can further reduce the effective price by Rs 3,500 by using an HDFC Bank credit card for the purchase.

Moreover, the e-commerce platform is offering EMI options starting at Rs 2,933 per month for a tenure of 24 months. If you’re planning to upgrade, you can also explore the exchange programme available on the website.

iPhone 17e: Buy now or later?

The iPhone 17e is a good choice if you want Apple’s latest performance but don’t want to spend too much money.

It is best for people who already use Apple devices and want a phone that will get updates for a lot of years. It is also best for people who want a smaller phone that works very fast and has Apple Intelligence.

This phone is not for you if you want a very smooth screen or if you want cameras that have ultra-wide and zoom capabilities. It also does not have a screen without a notch, which is a bit outdated for 2026.
