Amazon‘s Great Indian Festival Sale is in full swing, and smartphone enthusiasts can grab some of the best deals and discounts on the flagship and premium iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro Max. While the latest iPhone 17 series offers upgrades and a fresh design, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has also received significant discounts, making choosing between the two slightly tricky.
Let’s check out which iPhone is the best option to purchase during the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale
The iPhone 16 Pro Max, originally launched at Rs 1,44,900 for the 256GB variant, is currently available at Rs 1,30,900 during the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale, offering a 10% discount. On top of the discount, Prime Members who carry the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card can get an additional 5% cashback.
Other than this, Amazon’s exchange program will allow buyers to trade in their older smartphones for up to Rs 45,350 off. However, this will be based on the device’s condition and model.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is the latest flagship iPhone launched by Apple that starts at Rs 1,49,900 for the 256GB variant and goes up to Rs 2,29,900 for the 2TB storage model. Nevertheless, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is currently out of stock on Amazon (Checked Today), but you can still grab the latest iPhone on Flipkart, Croma, Vijay Sales, and India iStore, with several offers and discounts.
Buyers can benefit from sale offers like Rs 4,000 instant bank discounts on ICICI and SBI cards across Apple resellers such as Croma, Vijay Sales, and India iStore. There are also exchange bonuses of up to Rs 12,000 at Croma and Rs 7,000 at India iStore. For budget-conscious buyers, EMI options starting at just Rs 4,216 per month make the iPhone 17 Pro Max more accessible.
Choosing between the iPhone 16 Pro Max and 17 Pro Max is a tough decision, at least for me! But you can still make your decision based on your priorities. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is worth the investment, keeping in mind that it’s the latest iPhone from Apple. However, if you are looking for a value-for-money option, then you can go for the iPhone 16 Pro Max as an excellent choice during the Amazon Great Indian Festival sale.
