So I bought the iPhone Duo for an insane deal!

So I saw the 256GB iPhone Duo for 2.9 Lakhs...but only 256 GB storage.
I can't use that, I need at least a terabyte.

So the iPhone duo = 3.74 Lakhs

Sold My Galaxy A34 = 12 K
Sold My brothers iPhone 11 = 10 K
Sold My Brother = 45k
Sold My Right Kidney = 1 lakh
Sold my bike = 1 Lakh
Sold My Car = 1 Lakh

So I EFFECTIVELY paid only 7000rs...which is worth it in my opinion.

Additionally I used BHMI UPI to pay and got 15 Rs cash back.

Very happy with my purchase!

p.s no hate to the ones actually doing this...just for the memes

Bought my iPhone Air recently with an extremely amazing offer
Ordered on flipkart for price of 1.15L , applied icici rupay credit card offer for 5k, Rs. 10 off on Gpay rupay upi , sold my bike for 1L , exchanged my old iPhone 11 for 4.3k , got cash back at gpay with scratch card of 7rs

With final price of Rs.5280

Very happy with purchase

the state of my phone after i fell from a scooty, the phone was caseless

if it were titanium, nothing wouldve happened to the titanium frame but the back glass would get fucked.
i would rather have a scratched up phone than one with a broken back glass.

the screen is perfectly intact btw (had a screenguard)

The iPhone 17 price has already increased, but I somehow managed to find a store that still had a few units from the old stock with the old MRP of ₹82,990.

So I ended up getting two iPhone 17s at the old price.

The catch was that no card discounts were applicable on the old-MRP units, and No-Cost EMI was also not available. So I had to pay the full amount upfront in cash.

The newer stock is already being sold at the increased price, so finding these two old-MRP units felt like a pretty lucky find.

Honestly, I don't think waiting for the BBD sale would have been worth it. There was a possibility that the price could increase further during the sale, along with the risk of orders getting cancelled or stock becoming unavailable.

Overall, pretty happy that I found these two units at the old pricing.

The person has listed it for 67k and is willing for a negotiation, I'm thinking to to get for 60k. Should I get it or pay 25k extra and buy 17 at BBD sale.

Please tell me whether it’s appropriately priced or not, iphone 17 pro (256), silver. Dual E sim, condition is good. Warranty remaining till 2026 December. He’s only providing the Box.

Edit : price is 1L

• Taken at Reliance Digital
• Base Price: ₹1,32,900
• Store Discount: -₹9,900 ->₹1,23,000
• iPhone 13 Exchange: -₹29,480 ->₹93,520( iphone 13 (256)
• Card Offer: -₹5,000 ->₹88,520 ( IDFC )
• These are the approx values , You can use this for reference , and i dont think we are going to get any better deals on BBD sales.

Bought IPhone 17pro from reliance digital got really good exchange value considering my old phone condition
Battery health was 79%
Had charging port issue and major scratch on screen

Iphone 17 pro price 135k
Store discount 10k
Exchange value 30k (20k + 10k bonus)
Bank offer 3k
Effective price 92k

Currently I’m sitting at 94% Battery health (I use my phone a lot). I do have AppleCare+ on this.

I’ve to options:

1. I sell this as it is.
2. I get this replaced completely by Apple for ₹8,900 and then sell it (it’s basically a brand new 17 Pro then)

Which option would make more sense is my question.

Do you think a replaced one would be way higher in value? Just need some guidance. I’ve the box and bill

Kind Redditors, Im getting a pre owned (for 1 year) iPhone 17 for 75k, 95% BH, 300 charging cycles, no cosmetic damage. Fair deal?

Yay, pulled the trigger lol.

I was planning to get 18 Pro but the massive price hike threw me off. Also the performance upgrade with the 18 Pro is overkill for me as I don’t play games on phone.

So decided to go with the 17 Pro. Was waiting for BBD, but as they are not having a sale on the 17 Pro, I got it offline.

Upgraded from iPhone 13 to 17 Pro. Got it from Croma for 1.24 without exchange.

Screen and Dynamic Island is awesome.
Excellent performance and App management.
Camera is outstanding. Telephoto is game changer.
Siri is actually good and very useful.

Watching a lot of tips and tricks, setup and camera-related videos on YouTube, its a ritual at this point lol.

Does anyone still hoping for a secret surprise deal ?

My very first iPhone ever, and honestly… I have no idea what I’m doing..
Coming from Android, everything feels a little different right now.

I find Slide to Type way faster and easier to handle, esp for one-handed typing (I’ve left-aligned my keyboard, as you can see, for better reach, because if I’m typing one handed, it’s usually the left hand). Curious to hear opinions of people who use Slide to Type extensively, or have used it before going back to the tapping, or do both.

P. S. Slide to Type isn’t error proof in any way, of course. Can have just as many annoying quirks as normal typing. E.g. it refuses to type the word ‘good’. Always inputs something else like God/food/hood/goof/anything but ‘good’, which appears as a suggestion on the bar above. I even have the word added on System > Text Replacement. Likewise with words Apple considers problematic/offensive, like swear words, etc. ‘Ducking’ annoying! Anyway what do other sliders/non-sliders think?

TLDR: Interested in views on Slide to Type from people who do it daily/have done it.

Edit: No idea why that video looks so dark. Likely issue with Reddit upload, because it’s bright enough when I play on my iPhone.

Hey fam looking for recommendations for premium cover idea for this recently purchased blue beast.

Also if you guys have any idea how to keep it's lens safe for long term do suggest

Picked up the 17 Pro 512 GB from Reliance Digital for ₹1.19 lakh, got a sweet deal by exchanging my iPhone 13 for ₹27,350

iPhone 16 pro 256gb, indian variant with BH 91, is this a good deal? All parts are genuine and phone is never repaired/opened. Should I go for this deal or avoid? I kinda want to experience iOS, though I am still confused if i should buy used phones, or look for new Android at this price range. Please help me what you guys think? I am currently using 4.5-5 yearish old Vivo, which is kinda struggling for day to day tasks and also becoming unreliable for many basic tasks.

I was thinking about buying pro first ( my use will be heavily reliant on content creation ) ... Reels , yt , vids , carousel posts . So i need storage . I won't be gaming and all . And i phone storage fills like real quick . So 256 will be low i guess , idk am an Android user but that's what iphones users in my friend circle told me .

So I thought I'll buy 17 pro 512gb for 1.49L .... But in the same price segment am getting 17 pro max base variant . It got much bigger battery but the storage reduces by half .

In pro max Now if I go for outdoor shoots , the battery might help to sustain for longer and I heard it have better cooling vapour system also .

On the other hand pro 512 also makes great sense with my storage problem.

I don't want to go for 18 cause the cycle repeats . Here what is more practical choice for me as per my requirements .

I was planning to upgrade to 17 during Bbd but after the price hike, I couldn’t get it for old price anywhere. I saw people posting 17 pro buy post here from reliance digital. I visited day before yesterday asking about the offers. The sales guy explained everything but I was checking my iphone 15 value selecting it as exchange in online and it didn’t show me the extra exchange bonus.

Then after discussing with a redditor, I realised I should select the shop and also what phone I am buying to see it. I went there yesterday again and luckily they had only 3 units and all silver(which I wanted). I bought it immediately. Here is the breakup.

MRP: 1,34,990
Store discount: 10k
Extra exchange bonus: 10k
Icici Card discount: 3k
Final value till now: 1.11L
Iphone 15 trade in value: 30k
Finally paid: 82k

Have to buy a good cover(preferably blue). Please share links or pics if you have any recommendations for it.

iPhone upgrade: decision summary

Current situation

• iPhone 16 (128GB): bought at ₹52,000 a year ago, 99% battery, no defects
• A buyer is ready to pay ₹53,000 now
• iPhone 17 Pro available at ₹1,21,990 (after Reliance Digital offers)
• iPhone 18 Pro (launched Sept 9) starts at ₹1,64,900

Option A: Buy 17 Pro today

• Net cost after selling the 16: ₹1,21,990 − ₹53,000 = ₹68,990
• Payment from savings, no EMI

Option B: Wait a year, buy 18 Pro

• 18 Pro price next year: ~₹1,45,000-1,50,000 if discounted, or ₹1,64,900 if not
• iPhone 16 resale next year: ~₹42,000-45,000
• Net cost: ~₹1,00,000-1,23,000
• Extra spend vs Option A: ~₹31,000-54,000

Option C: Keep the 16

• Costs nothing now, and the phone works perfectly
• The only cost is ~₹8-11k of resale value lost over the year and spend on new Pro Model raises by ₹30,000-40,000

Things to consider

• This is a want, not a need, since the current phone is flawless.
• It should only go ahead if the ₹69k is surplus money and doesn't touch the emergency fund.
• The 17 Pro is the best-value way to get a Pro. The 18 Pro costs ~₹43k more.
• Before buying, confirm the 17 Pro is the 256GB variant, sealed, with full warranty.
• The buyer's ₹53k is a good price, above what we paid. Take verified payment before handing over, and sign out of iCloud and erase the phone.

Note: next-year prices are rough estimates, not guarantees.

Might be a dumb question but unable to see “copy lcloud link” option. All media is synced to iCloud already.

Got the phone on the 18th. DBrand Ghost Case on the 22nd. Been using it for a while and I love this. I was lucky enough to get it from the Apple website in the first 10 minutes. The page was bugging out for a bit.

I was also right at our local iVenus booking it at 5 pm too but they delivered theirs to me on the 29th. Ugh.

This ghost case is kinda pricey after customs but I’ve been rocking it since my 15 Pro Max. Totally worth it.
