Apple fans in India have something to cheer about as the tech giant rolls out its festive sale starting October 3. This exciting event promises discounts on a range of popular products including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more, coinciding with the festive spirit of Diwali.
Sale Details and Availability
The sale is accessible both online through Apple’s official store and offline at retail locations. This dual approach allows customers to choose their preferred shopping method. It also aligns with ongoing promotions on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, making it a great time for shoppers looking for the best deals. Apple has creatively decorated its homepage with a banner themed “Celebrate in a new light,” featuring Diwali lamps.
Instant Cashback Offers
To make the deals even sweeter, Apple is introducing an instant cashback offer for buyers using eligible American Express, Axis Bank, and ICICI Bank cards. Key details include:
- Purchases over Rs 10,001 qualify for the cashback.
- Each customer can benefit from this on a maximum of two orders per 90-day period.
- Please note that refunds may be affected by the cashback received.
- This offer is not available in conjunction with Apple’s Education or Corporate Employee Purchase Plans.
No Cost EMI Options
For customers looking for easy payment options, Apple offers No Cost EMI on selected products. Here’s how it works:
- EMI tenures of 3, 6, 9, or 12 months are available.
- AirPods, HomePods, and Beats products are not eligible for 9- and 12-month tenures.
Special Promotions on iPhone 15 Series
For those eyeing the latest iPhone models, Apple has a special promotion for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. From October 3 to October 4, customers can receive a special edition of Beats Solo Buds with the purchase of these phones. However, quantities are limited, and this offer cannot be combined with other deals like No Cost EMI or instant cashback.
What’s New in Technology?
Additionally, Apple is preparing to release a beta version of Apple Intelligence later this year. This feature, which will integrate with Siri, will be available for the iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, and other devices. Initially supporting US English, Apple plans to expand language support throughout 2024.
Comparison with Competitors
While Apple’s festive promotion may not match the scale of discounts available during Flipkart’s Big Billion Days or Amazon’s Great Indian Festival, it still serves as a solid option for customers who wish to purchase directly from Apple. Shopping directly with Apple provides a unique assurance of authenticity and customer service.
Final Thoughts
As Diwali approaches, the timing of Apple’s festive sale could not be better. Shoppers looking for their favorite Apple products can take advantage of discounts, cashback offers, and exclusive promotions. Whether investing in a new iPhone or upgrading to the latest Mac, this sale offers a promising opportunity to celebrate the festival of lights with new tech.
