Apple is offering up to ₹7,000 instant cashback on eligible purchases made using select cards. American Express, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank are among the issuers listed by Apple. The actual cashback depends on the card and applicable terms, so the maximum amount is not guaranteed for every transaction.

Interested customers can also choose EMI using an eligible credit or debit card. Apple displays the available instalment options during checkout, while payment methods include cards, Net Banking, UPI and Payment on Delivery.

For those upgrading from an older smartphone, Apple’s Trade In programme can provide credit of up to ₹81,500, depending on the device and its condition. The final value is determined after the old phone is assessed and can then be used towards the new iPhone purchase.

There may also be additional bank promotions. For example, Axis Bank has advertised Apple-related offers of up to ₹15,000 for eligible customers, although separate terms apply.

Apple also provides Personal Setup free when purchasing directly from the company. Customers can book a one-to-one online session with an Apple Specialist for help transferring data, configuring settings and getting familiar with the new iPhone.

So, if you are buying the iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max tomorrow, checking the available card offer and trade-in value before checkout could make a pretty big difference to the final amount you pay.
