The Apple India online store launch opens a virtual door to the range of Apple products that the company sells in India. However, these products listed on the Apple online store in India cost a premium when you compare it to third-party sellers like Flipkart and Amazon India.

Even the iPhone 11 Pro Max models are available at the updated launch price of Rs 1,17,100 on the Apple India online store, compared to 1,09,099 on Amazon India. One should note that the iPhone price keeps fluctuating on third-party websites.
While the prices may be higher, there are plenty of benefits that come along with the purchases made through the Apple online store.
As a launch offer, Apple is offering a cashback of 6 percent (up to Rs. 10,000) of the cart value to HDFC Bank credit cardholders. The minimum cart value to avail the cashback needs to be Rs. 20,900.
