Love is in the air  and so are discounts from Apple! Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Apple has quietly launched a bunch of festive deals on many of its most popular products in India. The offers are now live on Apple’s official India online store and cover everything from iPhones and MacBooks to iPads, Apple Watches and AirPods.

But don’t expect dramatic price cuts. As is typical for Apple, the company is relying on bank-backed instant cashback offers instead of slashing sticker prices. This means buyers get a reduced effective price at checkout when using select bank cards.

Starting with laptops, the MacBook Air with the new M4 chip is one of the standout deals. The 13-inch model, originally launched at Rs 99,900, is now available with an instant cashback of up to Rs 10,000. This brings the effective price down to Rs 89,900. The cashback is applied automatically at checkout on purchases made using ICICI Bank, Axis Bank or American Express cards.

The same Rs 10,000 cashback is also available on select MacBook Pro models. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip, priced at Rs 1,69,900, effectively comes down to Rs 1,59,900. Meanwhile, the larger 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip sees its effective price drop from Rs 2,49,900 to Rs 2,39,900.

However, buyers looking for the lowest possible prices may want to compare options outside Apple’s official store. Retailers such as Vijay Sales are offering sharper discounts on the MacBook Air M4, with the base variant already listed at around Rs 89,990. Additional bank discounts can push the final price down to roughly Rs 84,990, making it a stronger deal than Apple’s own offer. Similar discounts are not currently available on MacBook Pro models.

On the smartphone side, Apple is offering an instant cashback of Rs 5,000 on the iPhone 17 series. This brings the effective price of the standard iPhone 17 down from Rs 82,900 to Rs 77,900. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also available with a Rs 4,000 cashback, though rival platforms may still offer better pricing through exchange deals and combined bank offers.

Wearables and accessories are part of the Valentine’s Day push as well. The Apple Watch Series 11 is available with a Rs 4,000 discount, while the Apple Watch SE 3 comes with an offer of Rs 2,000. Both AirPods Pro (3rd generation) and AirPods 4 are listed with a Rs 1,000 instant cashback.

Tablet buyers are not left out either. The latest iPad Air models in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes are available with Rs 4,000 cashback offers. The standard iPad and iPad mini are also being sold with discounts of up to Rs 3,000.

Whether you’re shopping for a Valentine’s Day gift or upgrading your own Apple gear, these festive offers make it a good time to buy, just be sure to compare prices across platforms to get the best deal.
