Apple Store Festive Sale Offers Go Live: Cashback, Gifts, EMI Offers

Apple has announced a number of promotional offers on iPhones, Apple Watches, Macs, iPads, and accessories this festive season. Buyers can get up to ₹10,000 cashback on certain products, and also benefit from no-cost EMIs and trade-in value on older products. 

Buyers with eligible cards from ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and American Express can get ₹5,000 off on the new iPhone 16 series, ₹3,000 off on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, or ₹2,000 off on the iPhone SE. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, on the other hand, will come with a free pair of Beats Solo Buds earphones (which retail for ₹6,900) in a special “festive edition” orange. However this offer is valid only on October 3 and 4, or until stocks last. There does not appear to be any way to buy these earphones on their own.

Apple is also offering trade-in value on its own phones, starting at ₹4,650 for the 10-year-old iPhone 6s Plus and going up to ₹67,500 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Values for several models from other manufacturers are listed as well, including Google, Poco, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Samsung. Phones may be exchanged with online purchases, but Mac, iPad and Apple Watch trade-ins are accepted only in physical Apple Stores. The value offered will depend on device age and condition.

The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air (M3), current-gen MacBook Pro (14-inch and 16-inch), Mac Studio, and iMac are all eligible for ₹10,000 cashback. The M2-based MacBook Air is ₹8,000 off, while a Mac mini can be had for ₹4,000 less than usual. Most of these models are expected to be replaced with newer M4-powered ones later this month.

iPad buyers can get ₹6,000 off on the latest iPad Pro models while the iPad Air in both sizes is ₹4,000 off. The iPad mini and 10th Gen iPad are effectively discounted by ₹3,000 and ₹2,500 respectively. 

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 will cost ₹6,000 less while the Apple Watch Series 10 is ₹4,000 cheaper and the Apple Watch SE 2 gets just a ₹2,000 price cut. You can get cashback of ₹2,000 with AirPods Pro, ₹1,500 with both AirPods (4th Gen) models, ₹4,000 with the AirPods Max, and ₹2,000 with the HomePod smart speaker. Finally, the Beats by Dr Dre lineup is marked down by ₹2,000 – ₹2,500. 

There is a minimum transaction value of ₹10,001 to be eligible for any of these cashback offers. Apple has not stated when the cashback offers will end. These offers aren’t available to anyone taking advantage of Apple’s student pricing or corporate employee purchase plans. No-cost EMI offers with 3-12-month tenures are available from multiple institutions. These offers are valid till December 31.
