iPhone Air price drops by over Rs 64,000 on this quick commerce platform, should you buy it over iPhone 17

Highlights

The 256GB iPhone Air is listed at Rs 94,990, which implies a direct savings of Rs 54,910 compared its official price of Rs 1,49,900.

An additional 10 per cent discount on eligible IndusInd Bank credit card EMI transactions can bring the price below Rs 85,500.

The iPhone Air offers a titanium design and A19 Pro chip, while the iPhone 17 has better battery life and an ultrawide camera.

Apple iPhone Air is the Cupertino-based tech giant’s latest slim and lightweight smartphone in India, which rivals the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. While the Galaxy offering is readily available at a discounted price, the same can also be said right now for Apple’s Air iPhone. We say this because while the handset currently costs Rs 1,49,900 on Apple India’s official site, what if we say you can get the iPhone Air at a discount of over Rs 64,000 with bank offers?

If you plan to buy an iPhone Air, here are the details you should know about the deal that is live on Reliance Digital and JioMart. And the answer to whether you should purchase it over the iPhone 17.

iPhone Air price in India

Apple iPhone Air (256GB) is currently available for Rs 94,990 on JioMart and Reliance Digital. When we checked at the time of filing, all colours of the smartphone (Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold and Sky Blue) were available in stock. Moreover, buyers can avail a 10 per cent discount on IndusInd Bank credit card EMI transactions to lower the price to under Rs 85,500, effectively.

While this is the maximum bank discount, buyers can also check out offers on other bank cards. Buyers planning to get their iPhone Air delivered in the “quick” mode can use JioMart if the quick commerce platform delivers at your location. If JioMart does not offer services at your address, you can consider buying the smartphone from Reliance Digital.

At the offer price of under Rs 90,000, the phone competes with the iPhone 17's discounted deal on leading e-commerce platforms. But the big question is: Should you buy it over the iPhone 17?

iPhone Air vs iPhone 17

The iPhone Air can prove better than the iPhone 17 for under Rs 86,000 if you want a titanium frame (vs aluminium), a slim and lightweight design, a more powerful A19 Pro processor with more RAM, and you can live with a single camera, less battery life and no vapour cooling chamber in the slim form factor phone. Buyers can choose the iPhone 17 if they want better battery life (up to 30 hours vs up to 27 hours of video playback), an ultrawide lens and a more all-round package for the price.
