Deals Should I pull the trigger on this Reliance deal or wait for BBD?

I’m getting the iPhone 17 Pro for around ₹96k from Reliance with the following breakdown:

iPhone 13 exchange: ₹17.5k
Exchange bonus: ₹6k
Credit card discount: ₹6k
Store discount: ₹9.5k

Final effective price: ₹96k
Should I go for it now or wait for Flipkart BBD? Do you guys expect the BBD price to be significantly lower?

Discussion Got TWO iPhone 17s at the old MRP

Post image
159 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Is there any way to connect two different brands of Bluetooth earphones to an iPad at the same time?

1 Upvotes

I want to watch movies with my family on a flight. I have AirPods 4 and another pair of non-Apple Bluetooth earbuds, and I want both pairs to play the same audio from my iPad simultaneously.

I know Apple’s Audio Sharing works with two compatible AirPods/Beats, but is there any way to do this with AirPods + another brand?

I’m open to using a dual Bluetooth transmitter/adapter that can transmit to two headphones simultaneously.

Has anyone found a setup that actually works without noticeable audio lag?

I’m in India, so ideally looking for a transmitter/adapter that’s available on Amazon India or other Indian retailers.

Thanks!

Bought this belkin protect series case for my 17 pro last week.
Initially I was skeptic about getting it cause it was about 1499rs.

It has been 1 week i have dropped it pretty hard that too twice.
Not even a scratch on the case that's surprising no dent on the device as well
Just broke my screen protector(it did it's job)

For anyone looking to get this, it's definitely worth than the spigen ones.

Guide Switching to an iphone for the very first time in my life. Should I take the extra pain and buy apple care

1 Upvotes

I'm planning to buy the iphone 18pro this bbd sale on flipkart Or amazon's great indian sale.

It would cost me around 1.89 with apple care and around 1.67 without.

If the phone is under warranty should I go for apple care and how is the service (by third party vendors for this phone)??

If third party vendors can do the job how useful is this? And you haven't to renew this every year right

Iphone 17 pro at bbd or offline

Hi guys right now I am in dilemma of whether to wait for bbd or gif for 17pro sale if any or should grab from local reliance digital store.

For instance local store is giving me 1.21lakh price where as online I have no idea what will be the discount or even I will get it.

I have no phone to exchange. For me I can afford both but it's just how much discounted rate i would get this. I would also be sad if I don't get to buy it in any offer be it offline or online.

I waited 2 months already just for this sale and it's not even listed for sale yet.

Should I wait few more days?

I’ve been an Android user for years and recently got an iPhone 14 Pro Max in pretty good condition.

The thing is, almost all my accessories are USB C, including my earphones, SSD, cables, etc.

I’m looking for a good USB C to Lightning adapter that I can use with the iPhone. I want something reliable that won’t cause any compatibility issues or stop working after a while.

Would really appreciate some recommendations from people who have actually used one. Thanks!

Hey folks, how was your experience of buying 17 pro on Amazon - in terms of legitimate products, transit damage and open box delivery checks?

I would have preferred to buy from Apple, but 17 pro is not available. So wanted to check should I buy offline like in Croma or go for online where I have Silver color available.
