Amazon vs Flipkart Sale 2026: Check the best Apple deals on iPhone, MacBook and iPad

October 06, 2026: Amazon and Flipkart are set to begin their big festive sales, offering special discounts on several Apple devices. The Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2026 and Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale 2026 will feature deals on products including the iPhone 17, iPhone 16, iPhone 15, MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, iPad Air and iPad.

Apple has recently increased the prices of several products in India. However, during the upcoming Amazon and Flipkart sales, buyers may get additional benefits through direct price reductions, bank discounts, cashback offers and exchange bonuses on selected Apple devices.

The Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2026 will start on October 8, while the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale 2026 will begin on October 9.

iPhone 17 Price Drops to Rs 79,900

Apple recently increased the price of the iPhone 17 in India to Rs 99,900. At the time of its launch in September 2025, the phone was priced at Rs 82,900. This means its price has increased by Rs 17,000 compared with its launch price.

However, the effective price of the iPhone 17 during Flipkart's upcoming Big Billion Days Sale could be Rs 79,900.

This is not the regular selling price. According to reports, the effective price could be achieved by combining bank discounts, cashback and other applicable offers. As a result, eligible buyers may be able to purchase the iPhone 17 for significantly less than its current listed price.

Discounts on iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Too

If you are planning to buy an older-generation iPhone, the Amazon and Flipkart festive sales could offer attractive deals. The listed price of the iPhone 16 is Rs 89,900, but it could be available for Rs 71,999 during Amazon's sale.

Meanwhile, the listed price of the iPhone 15 is Rs 74,900, while its effective price could drop to Rs 63,999 during Flipkart's sale.

These prices are linked to bank offers, cashback and other benefits. Therefore, buyers should check the applicable terms and offers before making the final payment.

MacBook Neo Gets Special Benefits

Apple's relatively affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo, is also expected to receive a special offer. The MacBook Neo is currently listed at Rs 79,900 on Amazon, but it could be available for Rs 75,990 during the upcoming Great Indian Festival Sale.

Apple has also recently increased the price of the MacBook Neo. Therefore, this festive-season offer could be particularly attractive for buyers planning to purchase the laptop.

MacBook Air with M5 Chip Could Be Rs 25,000 Cheaper

The MacBook Air with the M5 chip will also be available at a relatively lower price during Flipkart's Big Billion Days Sale.

The listed price of the 16-inch model is Rs 1,49,900. During the sale, its price could drop to Rs 1,24,990.

This represents a potential discount of around Rs 25,000 compared with the listed price. However, buyers should check during the sale whether additional bank discounts or other benefits are available on top of the sale price.

Discounts on iPad Air and iPad

Apple is also expected to offer discounts on multiple iPad models during the festive sales. The listed price of the iPad Air with the M4 chip is Rs 89,900, while its sale price could be Rs 85,490.

Meanwhile, the entry-level iPad with an 11-inch display and A16 chip is listed at Rs 48,900. Its price could drop to Rs 39,990 during the sale.

However, the additional bank discounts have not been included in the sale prices mentioned for these two iPad models.

10 Percent Discount on SBI Cards on Amazon

Eligible SBI debit and credit card users can get a 10 percent instant discount during the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2026. The offer will also be applicable to eligible credit card EMI transactions.

As a result, buyers may receive additional savings on selected Apple devices when the bank offer is combined with the sale price.

Axis Bank and ICICI Bank Offers on Flipkart

Flipkart will offer a 10 percent instant discount to eligible Axis Bank and ICICI Bank credit card users during the Big Billion Days Sale 2026.

However, the terms and conditions, maximum discount limit and eligibility criteria may vary depending on the product. Therefore, buyers should check the complete offer details before making a payment instead of relying only on the price displayed on the sale banner.

At What Price Can Apple Devices Be Purchased?

When Are the Amazon and Flipkart Big Sales Starting?

The two major festive sales will begin almost at the same time. The Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2026 will start on October 8, while the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale 2026 will begin on October 9.

For Apple products, the overall savings could be higher when direct price reductions are combined with bank discounts, cashback and exchange bonuses. However, the prices mentioned above are the announced or expected sale prices, and the final amount may vary depending on the applicable offers.

Buyers should check the credit card discount, exchange benefits, eligibility criteria and final payment amount before placing an order.

With several Apple products recently receiving price hikes, these festive sales could be an important opportunity for buyers looking to purchase both newer and older Apple devices at lower effective prices.
