Apple India is celebrating Diwali 2025 with a range of official promotions on its website. This festive season, Apple is offering instant cashbacks and no-cost EMI on many products.
For example, up to ₹10,000 off on select devices combined with up to 12 months of EMI. You’ll find these deals on iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watches and Apple accessories, plus special service bundles like free Apple TV+ or Apple Music trials with some purchases.
All prices and discounts below are from Apple’s own online store, so you know they’re genuine Apple promotions (no third-party vouchers or cashback offers). Read on for a detailed look at the offers by category, and how they compare to the deals on Amazon, Flipkart, Croma or Vijay Sales this Diwali.
iPhone Deals
On the Apple India store, the Diwali offer on iPhones includes up to ₹5,000 instant bank cashback and up to 12 months of no-cost EMI. For example, the new iPhone 17 series is ₹82,900 (base) but effectively ₹77,900 after the ₹5,000 cashback, when paid with an eligible Amex/Axis/ICICI card.
Apple also lets you trade in your old smartphone for up to ₹64,000 credit towards a new iPhone 17, iPhone Air or iPhone 17 Pro, further lowering the price. In short, you can spread payments interest-free and get instant savings on Apple’s latest phones.
Officially, all iPhone models qualify for these festive bank deals (₹5,000 on iPhone 17/Air, ₹4,000 on iPhone 16/16e, etc.).
Third-party retailers are also slashing iPhone prices during Diwali sales. For instance, Amazon and Flipkart have cut older models even deeper. E.g. The iPhone 15 128GB is effectively just ₹43,749 (with bank discounts) and iPhone 14 at ₹39,999 during their Diwali Sale.
Croma and Vijay Sales match this by offering extra bank discounts (often ₹6,000 or more) on many iPhones. In practice, Apple’s ₹5,000 cashback deal is generous for current models, but watch the marketplaces for very low prices on previous generations if you can combine bank and exchange offers.
MacBook Deals
Apple’s official Diwali sale also boosts MacBook savings. On apple.com/in, you get up to ₹10,000 instant cashback on most MacBooks. For example, the MacBook Air with M4 (13-inch or 15-inch) is ₹99,900 at launch, but with ₹10,000 back it becomes effectively ₹89,900.
Similarly, MacBook Pro 14″/16″ M4 models have ₹10,000 cashback (dropping from ₹169,900 to ₹159,900, and ₹249,900 to ₹239,900). Apple also offers 3 months of Apple TV+ for free with any Mac purchase (a nice bonus). You can pay via 6/9/12-month EMI with many banks, and combine an (in-store) trade-in if you have an old Mac.
Despite Apple’s deal, resellers have even steeper discounts on MacBooks this Diwali. For instance, Amazon’s Great Indian Festival is selling the MacBook Air M4 (16GB/256GB) at just ₹83,990, plus bank offers and exchange deals.
Apple’s site is still ₹99,900 (pre-cashback), so the Amazon price is over 15% lower. Flipkart’s Big Diwali Sale has the same MacBook Air at ₹90,990 with bank discounts, but has the lowest price on MacBook M2.
Vijay Sales is running ₹91,900 sale and additional ₹10,000 off with select cards, bringing it to around ₹81,900 so about ₹18,000 off in all. Croma, meanwhile, offers the Air at ₹93,990 with a further ₹5,000 instant cut for SBI/ICICI cardholders.
In other words, while Apple gives a solid ₹10k back, you can find even lower net prices elsewhere if you compare all offers.
iPad Offers
On iPads, Apple’s Diwali cashback runs up to ₹4,000. The iPad Air (11″ and 13″) and iPad Pro models each get ₹4,000 off. Base iPads and iPad mini get ₹3,000 cashback. For example, the 11″ iPad Air starts at ₹59,900, effectively ₹55,900 after bank cashback.
And like Macs, Apple lets you split payments up to a year interest-free. Apple doesn’t typically bundle iPads with huge extras, though new buyers can still enjoy 3 months of Apple TV+ for free when buying an iPad.
Third-party sales often add more discounts on older iPad models via coupon and bank deals. For instance, past Diwali sales saw ₹2,000-₹3,000 instant off on base iPads at Amazon/Flipkart, plus 10% extra on cards.
As always, Apple’s cashback deals are guaranteed, but it’s worth checking if resellers are offering additional coupons or exchange values on iPads this season.
Apple Watch Discounts
Apple Watch offers during Diwali are also attractive on the official store. The new Watch Ultra 3 gets ₹6,000 instant cashback, the Series 11 gets ₹4,000 back, and the Watch SE (3rd gen) gets ₹2,000 back.
For example, Series 11 (GPS, 46mm) is ₹46,900 from Apple’s site; with ₹4,000 back it’s effectively ₹42,900. Buyers also get 1 month of free Apple Music (trial) with a new watch (Apple often runs those pre-installed service deals). And as always, No-Cost EMI is an option for up to 12 months on all models.
In contrast, retailers like Amazon and Flipkart are running their own Watch deals. Often they simply start at a lower price (for example, a Series 11 42mm was going for ~₹42,900 on Amazon vs ₹46,900 list) and add extra card discounts.
Older models see deeper cuts as we’ve seen Apple Watch prices drop ₹3,000-₹5,000 off at these festivals. But in our quick check, Apple’s official cashback aligns well with competitor offers, especially for the latest models. If you want the newest Watch with AppleCare and guaranteed specs, the official site’s deal is straightforward.
Accessories (AirPods, HomePod, Beats)
Apple is also pushing audio and other accessories in its Diwali sale. The flagship AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4 (with or without ANC) each have ₹1,000 instant bank discount, while AirPods Max get ₹4,000 off.
Basic AirPods 3 get ₹1,000 off as well. The HomePod (full-size) has a ₹2,000 cashback, and the HomePod mini isn’t listed for extra cashback (it’s already only ₹10,900). Apple also extends 6-month EMI on all these devices. For Beats headphones, the lineup ranges from ₹1,500 to ₹2,000 off (e.g. Studio Pro ₹2,000 off).
Apple throws in some fun bundles here too. Buying a HomePod mini or HomePod gives you 3 months of Apple Music free. New HomePod owners often get Music trials as part of Apple’s promotion.
With AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods 4, there’s a 3-month Apple Fitness+ or Apple Music offer sometimes, but mainly it’s the flat cashback on the headphones.
At Amazon/Flipkart, you’ll find holiday deals on accessories as well. For instance, AirPods often sell with ₹1,000-₹2,000 off and extra card discounts. But Apple’s cashback is simple and guaranteed (no coupon needed).
For instance, the HomePod is ₹32,900 with ₹2,000 back on Apple’s site vs Amazon’s price which often stays around ₹32,900 with occasional bank-offer deals. Similarly, AirPods Max ₹28,900 with ₹4,000 back on Apple is comparable to ~₹24-25k prices on marketplaces.
In short, Apple’s accessory cashbacks are competitive, and you also get the benefit of official support and free engraving/personalization at checkout.
Comparison: Apple Store vs Retailers
- iPhones: Apple’s site offers ₹5,000 back on new models, but Amazon/Flipkart are cutting older iPhones even deeper (e.g. iPhone 15 128GB ~₹43,749 with 10% bank off, or iPhone 14 at ₹39,999). Croma/Vijay Sales add their own ₹6k+ card discounts on top of prices. In short, Apple’s deal is best for the newest models, while resellers may beat it on last-gen phones.
- MacBooks: Apple gives a flat ₹10,000 back on Air/Pro (so Air M4 goes from ₹99,900 to ₹89,900). But Amazon, Flipkart and Vijay Sales are selling the same MacBook Air for ~₹84-90k pre-cashback. For example, Amazon’s ₹78,390 effective price is well below Apple’s launch price. Vijay Sales even has the Air at ₹81,990 net after their bank offer. Thus, while Apple’s cash back is generous, resellers currently have it beat by a few thousand rupees.
- iPads: Apple’s official ₹4,000 back on Air/Pro (₹3,000 on base/minis) is solid. We didn’t see huge deeper cuts elsewhere, but Amazon/Flipkart often stack coupons or card discounts on older iPads. Generally, Apple’s price after cash back is competitive with Diwali Sale prices on other sites. It’s worth checking if card-bundled deals push marketplace prices slightly below Apple’s.
- Apple Watch: Apple’s ₹6,000/₹4,000/₹2,000 cashbacks on the latest Ultra 3/Series 11/SE models match the typical Diwali discounts on those models. Resellers mostly drop older generations by ₹3-5k or use extra 10% bank-off on current ones. So again, for the newest Watches, Apple’s offer is on par with the market; for older models, festival sales will usually be lower.
- Accessories: On AirPods/HomePod/Beats, Apple’s uniform cashbacks are easy. Marketplace prices vary. E.g. AirPods Pro 3 or HomePod often see ₹2k off with bank deals on Amazon. Apple’s ₹1k-₹4k back is in the same ballpark, and you gain peace of mind buying directly (plus free engraving). If you want the latest Apple accessories with full warranty, the official offers are very straightforward.
Summary
This Diwali, the official Apple India store makes shopping for Apple gear surprisingly sweet: up to ₹10,000 instant cashback and up to 12 months no-cost EMI on many products.
Whether you’re eyeing a new iPhone, a MacBook Air or Pro, an iPad, an Apple Watch, or AirPods/HomePods, you’ll find bank-backed discounts and special service bundles on Apple India.
While big retailers often have steep Diwali discounts (sometimes undercutting Apple’s prices on older models), buying on the official Apple Store means guaranteed authenticity, expert setup help, free engraving or gift wrapping, and perks like free Apple TV+ or Music trials with your purchase.
In short, if you want the full Apple experience and worry-free checkout this season, the Apple India store is the place to go. Happy Diwali shopping, and enjoy the festive savings on real Apple deals!
