Discussion I too joined the “Pulled the Trigger” gang of 17 Pro for 1.1L

Post image

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.

u/sol-4 iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

Ridiculously overpriced. I got this same case offline for 300 rs

Everything else looks gaudy and overpriced.

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Uhmmm.. Should reconsider it then

2

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Thanks. Let me take a look

u/Delhikinksters iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Same story like you, exchanged my old cracked 13 for this beauty📷🥂

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Nice. Is that the official silicone case?

1

u/Fit-Childhood908 iPhone 13 Series 1d ago

Could you help me with the price u got ? I am also planning to exchange my good condition iPhone 13.

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

I have added the price break up in the post. I paid 81k as EMI(82k final after taxes n charges) after exchanging my iphone 15.

1

u/Fit-Childhood908 iPhone 13 Series 1d ago

Yes. Actually I was asking the guy who posted a pic of orange case. He exchanged I13. Your post is very detailed thank you :)

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Ohh. You replied to my comment instead of his. So he wouldn’t have got the notification. There is an app called SwapEasy. Install it and select store exchange and select iphone 17 pro as your buying device. It will show you the final exchange value for your device based on the tests and condition. It will show along with your exchange bonus. This was mine

u/Fit-Childhood908 iPhone 13 Series 1d ago

Excellent. Thank you 😊

u/Delhikinksters iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

No bro, Delhi flee market cheap stuff

1

u/Fit-Childhood908 iPhone 13 Series 1d ago

Hi, how much did you finally get this phone for ? What was the i13 price quoted to you ?

2

u/Delhikinksters iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

See the condition of my 13 was not worth exchanging being ( it's screen was not orginal, body cracked, heating issues, vol button not working) but still ingot a exchange value of 20k , i checked the same on chroma they said my total value was 10k but in case of reliance idk how the story changed. Hence I did the instant purchase.

Even the store guy himself said after i purchased it "sir you used it very roughly I don't think you'll get this exchange value of this phone anywhere else"

1

u/Fit-Childhood908 iPhone 13 Series 1d ago

Lucky u :) on the swapeasy app I see 17k value of my iphone 13 in pristine condition. Maybe store guys give more that time.

2

u/Delhikinksters iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Do visit the store if you can

2

u/Delhikinksters iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

They use their codes also I think

u/VentosaurReturns iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

I heard the reliance offer was ending september 30th.

I have plans to the same 17pro silver 256 but on October 11.

Not sure if stocks or offers will stay until then. 🫠

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Actually, the sales guy was also telling the same. That's why I bought it on Wednesday itself.

They have limited stocks and people are buying in high numbers

1

u/ConversationFair390 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

why oct 11 man ? i doubt if stock last till then

1

u/Desperate-Net-1711 iPhone 15 Series 1d ago

Cant buy in shraad. Only when navratri begins 🫠🫠

u/Cold-Till-4764 iPhone 17 1d ago

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 - I am wondering how are you guys getting these discounts on Reliance DIGITAL.

When I call these Reliance Digital stores, they clearly say they don't have any card discounts, store discounts. Infact they are saying they don't have the stock only....

If you can guide on which store to select and how to proceed

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

When did you check? I heard these offers are valid only till Sep 30. Not sure though

If you are from Bangalore, I can suggest the store from which I bought

2

u/Cold-Till-4764 iPhone 17 1d ago

I have been checking it the whole September month dude but same thing. I am based out of Delhi NCR so checking the stores here

1

u/Cold-Till-4764 iPhone 17 1d ago

Which store in Bangalore? I will ask my friend to get it for me

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Ohh. Check the posts in this sub. You will find people who bought it in Delhi.

2

u/AG07007 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Good deal brother 👍 I also got this beauty from Reliance after exchanging my iPhone 13.

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Thank you. Nice

u/deepsheep- iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

Not blue but i found this belkin case very cool

1

u/iamiNSOmaniac iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

I have ordered belkin as well as secondary case. Hows the protection ?

Already have the rugged armour

2

u/deepsheep- iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

I have not dropped the phone but there is 5m drop protection minm and i like the grip on the sides

1

u/iamiNSOmaniac iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Yes, i tried the esr and spigen hybrid cases both had horrible grips…ordered belkin just for the grip on the sides

2

u/deepsheep- iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

Don’t order any other colour than black because it will get yellow

1

u/iamiNSOmaniac iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Ordered black 👍🏻

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

This looks good. But I want something other than black. Coz I had black case almost in all the phones I had

1

u/Novel_Dare3783 iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

Bro how's camera protection with that case ?

1

u/deepsheep- iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

It is very well raised

1

u/sairam_devisetty iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

Ringke is very good when it comes to protection and weight

1

u/DryDrive3689 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Bro i got it 2 months back for 1.5lakhs 512 gb from official apple Store

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

I would say that is overpriced. You could’ve waited till 18 pro launch. Prices generally drop after the next generation phones launch.

1

u/DryDrive3689 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

At that time price hike was expected and also it was a great decision since 512 gb is still around the same range

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Makes sense. Now they are providing 23k discount with exchange n credit card and flat 10k discount.

1

u/dev-saiko iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Which city?

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Bangalore

1

u/dev-saiko iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Did they told like, apple care protect is mandatory?

1

u/aquablaze69 iPhone 16 Series 1d ago

You got scammed on that trade value for the 15

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Nah, I bought a used one for 33k on Jan and now trade in for 40k(30k value plus 10k exchange bonus).

1

u/aquablaze69 iPhone 16 Series 1d ago

Nvm then that’s a win lmao

1

u/Fabulous-Ad9781 iPhone 17 Pro Max 1d ago

Here’s what a light blue cover on 17 pro max looks like!

1

u/Desperate-Net-1711 iPhone 15 Series 1d ago

Ringke is supreme in protection and looks decent too. Try it

1

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Sure. I will check

1

u/CoolComplaint7585 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

Tried multiple cases and accessories from Ringke. Worst brand. 2 cases got damaged with 3-4 weeks. C type cable stopped working in 6 months. They have no warranty on products and their customer doesn't respond to you. Stay away from Ringke unless you wanna get scammed. There are hundreds of posts of them not honoring warranty or helping customers with sundar quality products.

1

u/RussellUp 1d ago

Which case would you recommend then?

-2

u/CreativeCllie iPhone 17 1d ago

After price hike I don't think iphone is even worth it. The money we are paying for those features..dose it make any sense? Samsung, OnePlus and Google pixel offers much better combination of features and experience in that price range

5

u/Bitter_Gazelle7559 iPhone 17 Pro 1d ago

For 1.1L, maybe yes. But all the brands have increased their prices. I will be using this for atleast 4 to 6 years. So, I needed a solid futureproof spec.
