The range comprises the iPhone 18 Pro and the larger iPhone 18 Pro Max, both bundled with a variety of promotional incentives such as bank‑card cashbacks, trade‑in credits for older devices, and a cost‑free EMI plan.
Regarding price and capacity, the base 256 GB iPhone 18 Pro is priced around ₹1,64,900, while the top‑tier 2 TB model commands roughly ₹3,14,900. The iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at about ₹1,79,900 for the 256 GB variant and reaches close to ₹3,29,900 for the 2 TB version.
Buyers who settle the bill with eligible bank cards can enjoy an instant cashback of up to ₹7,000. In addition, swapping an old smartphone for a new iPhone can fetch a trade‑in value ranging between ₹21,000 and ₹81,500, depending on the handset’s make, model and condition.
For those who prefer staggered payments, Apple offers a zero‑interest EMI scheme for up to six months. Under this plan, the monthly instalment for an iPhone 18 Pro starts at roughly ₹26,316.

How to Purchase and Trade‑In
Prospective buyers can head to Apple’s official website, pick their desired model, storage size, and colour, and then proceed to checkout. To claim a trade‑in discount, simply enter the IMEI of the old device in the “Trade‑In” field; the system will instantly display an estimated credit.
During the payment step, selecting a qualifying bank card may trigger an immediate discount or cashback, based on the current promotional slate.
Delivery windows differ according to model, storage, colour and the buyer’s PIN code. Some configurations may see shipments pushed into October. Once the order is confirmed, customers can track the exact delivery schedule via the Order Status page on Apple’s portal.
