Best possible option is to wait for BBD, at that price. iPhone 17 will be solid phone and value for money.

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.

With trade-in you will save a lot if the phone traded-in is an iPhone as well. They quoted 8200 for iPhone X.

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.
