best way to buy iPhone 17 right now?
Best possible option is to wait for BBD, at that price. iPhone 17 will be solid phone and value for money.
True but OP want like in a week or so.
Even though i never brought iphone using smartbuy imagine i have done the calculations and it seem best since i don't hold any other cc that might be better but then I never brought any new iphone so if calculator on their website make sense then buy from their.

GST Claim and 5000 instant claim can't go together on Apple official site. You may try other platforms.
I am also thinking of upgrading my iPhone 13 to 17 and have checked the options. I also have Amex and Infinia and for me, Imagine with Smartbuy is the best option right now. Imagine is also offering cashback for old phone with Cashify and offer is similar to other sites.
Even I have iPhone 13, haven’t upgrade to ios 26 yet cause of bug I have checked on Reddit so staying on iOS 18 till more ios 26 update come and iPhone 18 will what upgrade will it have, is what I’m concerned though cause I’m looking for more ram in base variant 8gb doesn’t seem enough even though apple intelligence is a joke also have s25u so spending 78k I need not to upgrade if apple finally figured AI that too basic one plus 3yr completed with iPhone want to extend to 4yr and may be 5yr with ios 26 updating before ios 27 come out though.

If you have ICICI bank credit card, you can also try for iPhone for life program by visiting any Apple authorise Reseller store.
for others who want to know
The "iPhone for Life" program offered through ICICI Bank credit cards in India is an assured buyback scheme that allows you to purchase an iPhone with 24 monthly No-Cost EMIs on 75% of the price, while the remaining 25% is a deferred payment (the "assured buyback" value).
How the "iPhone for Life" Program Works
- Purchase and EMI: You buy an eligible iPhone model at a participating Apple Authorised Reseller store using your ICICI Bank credit card. 75% of the total cost is converted into a 24-month No-Cost EMI (meaning the interest is given back as a cashback).
- Deferred Amount: The remaining 25% of the price is a deferred payment that is billed as a lump sum in the 25th month (after your EMIs are complete).
- Options After 24 Months: At the end of the 24-month EMI period, you have two choices:
- Upgrade/Return: Return the used iPhone (which must pass a quality check by Servify) to an authorised store and use the assured buyback value (the 25% deferred amount) as a credit towards a new iPhone model.
- Keep the Device: Pay the 25% balance amount in the 25th month and keep the iPhone.
Key Details
- Eligible Cards: The offer is valid on all ICICI Bank Credit Cards, except commercial, corporate, and business cards.
- Availability: The program is available at participating Apple Authorised Reseller stores and large retail formats like Croma, Reliance Digital, etc., not directly through the Apple India online store.
- Buyback Provider: The assured buyback plan is provided by Servify, not ICICI Bank or Apple directly. All terms and quality checks are handled by Servify.
- Eligible Products: The program typically applies to the latest iPhone models (e.g., iPhone 16 series, iPhone 17 series in current offers), and sometimes other Apple products like MacBooks.
