iPhone 17 Pro Max Sees Discounts at Vijay Sales Amid iPhone 18 Buzz

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (256GB) is currently available at a reduced price in India through Vijay Sales, one of the country’s largest offline retailers. This price drop coincides with increasing speculation surrounding the upcoming iPhone 18 series.

Current Pricing and Discounts

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is listed at ₹1,47,900 at Vijay Sales, a direct discount of ₹2,000 from its original launch price of ₹1,49,900. Consumers can further reduce the cost through bank offers and exchange bonuses.

Potential savings include an additional ₹5,000 instant cashback with HDFC, ICICI, or Axis bank cards, and exchange bonuses for older iPhone models. The final effective price can fall to as low as ₹1.37 lakh when these offers are combined.

iPhone 18 Expectations

Analysts suggest Apple may adopt a staggered launch schedule for the iPhone 18 series. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected in September, while the standard iPhone 18 could follow in March of the following year.

Potential Foldable iPhone

Rumors continue to circulate regarding a potential foldable iPhone. Production shipments are anticipated to begin in December, with a possible launch in September 2026. The device is expected to feature a book-style design with a 7.8-inch inner OLED display and a 5.5-inch outer screen. It may also forgo Face ID in favor of a Touch ID-enabled power button, and offer up to 1TB of storage.

Possible iPhone 18 Lineup Changes

There are also indications that Apple might reintroduce a “Plus” variant to the iPhone 18 lineup, though this remains unconfirmed.
