This Black Friday, Croma — one of India’s biggest electronics retailers — has rolled out one of its most aggressive discount campaigns of the year. The sale runs from November 22 to November 30, 2025 For the 256 GB version of iPhone 17 (in Black or other colours), the official listed price remains ₹82,900 But thanks to a combination of bank-cashback, exchange bonuses and other offers, the effective price can fall drastically — as low as ≈ ₹45,900
Why This Sale Is Hard to Ignore
Biggest price cut yet — iPhone 17 has never been this affordable since launch. The discount brings flagship-level hardware well within reach of many buyers. Good for upgraders — If you have an older iPhone (or other eligible device), the exchange bonus dramatically lowers the net cost, making upgrade economically sensible.
Bank discounts + EMI options — For many buyers, bank offers and EMI deals make the purchase more budget-friendly (lower upfront cost or easier installments). Timing is ideal — With the sale window limited (till Nov 30), it’s a rare opportunity to grab a new iPhone at deep discount before prices go back up
Should Watch Out For Before Buying
The ₹45,900 effective price only works if you have an eligible old phone for exchange and you qualify for bank cashback or offers. Without those, the phone remains at ₹82,900 Not all stores may have stock — high demand means iPhone 17 (especially base-model 256 GB) could sell out quickly. Availability can vary by city or even by store Offers and exchange values are often time-limited and vary by old device condition, brand, model — verify carefully at checkout
Should Not) Buy iPhone 17 Right Now
People with older smartphones eligible for exchange — the net savings make this a strong upgrade option. Buyers wanting a flagship-class phone without paying full price — especially if you’re sensitive to value-for-money Early adopters who want a new iPhone before year-end and want it at a discounted price.
You don’t have a device to exchange or won’t get a good exchange value — paying full price may not feel worth it. You’re not in a hurry — waiting might pay off if stock, offers or deals shift again (post-sale) You want to inspect the phone physically first — if stock is low, you might end up buying sight-unseen online

If you can take advantage of the exchange + bank offer stack, and don’t mind acting fast — yes, this sale is a strong buy opportunity. At ~₹45,900 for a flagship-class phone, iPhone 17 becomes one of the most compelling flagship deals in India right now
However, if you don’t meet those conditions (no old device, no bank offer, or unsure about stock), it might be worth waiting — maybe for post-Black Friday sales or other retail events.
