Reviews Boost Base iPhone 17 Value as India Sees an Early Price Cut

A new Pro review casts the top model as a function-first pick for demanding users.

Overview

  • India’s iPhone 17 is listed at Rs 78,079 on Zepto, with an extra Rs 250 off for RBL Bank credit cards, cutting more than Rs 5,000 from the Rs 82,900 launch price.
  • Early reviews say the base model delivers many display and camera upgrades from pricier versions plus better battery life and doubled storage, though zoom detail lags and intensive gaming can make it uncomfortably hot.
  • Reviewers highlight practical camera tools on the iPhone 17 such as Dual Capture for simultaneous front-and-rear video and automatic selfie framing that fits more people in the shot.
  • MacMegasite’s assessment describes the iPhone 17 Pro as a clearer break from the standard phone, prioritizing battery capacity and camera capability for a narrower, pro‑oriented audience.
  • Key specs cited for the iPhone 17 include Apple’s A19 chip, a 6.3‑inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display, an 18‑megapixel front camera, up to 512GB storage and a 3692 mAh battery.
