Here’s how you can get the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold at around Rs. 1 Lakh during the Flipkart sale.

Overview

  • The iPhone 17 brings ProMotion 120Hz, a brighter 6.3-inch display, the A19 chip, dual 48MP rear cameras, an 18MP Center Stage selfie camera, and 256GB base storage at $799.
  • Apple has reportedly asked suppliers to raise output of the base model by roughly 30%, and delivery estimates have stretched to around 18 days versus about 10 days last year.
  • Wired, ZDNET and Forbes recommend the iPhone 17 as the best buy for most people, citing its display, battery life, cameras and overall value versus pricier variants.
  • Early social posts highlight cosmetic scuffs and chips on some iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max units, even as Apple touts Ceramic Shield 2 with three-times better scratch resistance.
  • Apple and retailers rolled out regional promotions, including festive-season offers in India with up to Rs 10,000 in savings on the iPhone 17 and other products.
