Vijay Sales has brought back its Apple Days sale, and for anyone who loves Apple products, this is the season of discounts, upgrades, and some serious price drops. The sale started on December 28, 2025, and will run until January 4, 2026, across more than 160 Vijay Sales stores in India and on their online platform. The timing is perfect: right before the new year, when most people are already in a “treat yourself” mood.

The biggest highlight this year is the iPhone Air. The iPhone Air 256GB base variant is priced at Rs 94,900. With an instant discount of Rs 4,000 on ICICI and select bank cards, the store price comes down to Rs 90,900. On top of this, buyers can also get an exchange bonus of up to Rs 9,000 if they trade in an old phone. This bonus is over and above the actual value of the old device, making the deal even sweeter. That means if your old phone is valued at, say, Rs 25,000, you could get Rs 25,000 + Rs 9,000 extra, depending on the condition and model.

Then comes the iPhone 17. The 256GB base variant starts at Rs 82,900. In stores, buyers also get flat MyVS Reward loyalty points worth Rs 3,000, which can be used later for more shopping at Vijay Sales. With the Rs 4,000 ICICI card discount applied in stores, the effective price becomes Rs 78,900. Add the Rs 9,000 exchange bonus, and the final amount you pay can drop even more. If you don love loyalty points and exchange deals, this one makes the iPhone 17 one of the smartest buys of the week.

For Pro phone lovers, the iPhone 17 Pro 256GB starts at Rs 125,490, and after the Rs 4,000 ICICI discount, it costs Rs 121,490. With an exchange bonus of up to Rs 9,000, you can save even more. The iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB base variant starts at Rs 138,490, discounted to Rs 134,490 after the Rs 4,000 card offer. Both Pro models also earn loyalty points through MyVS at 0.75% on the base price. That means the Pro model gives 941 points, and the Pro Max gives 1,039 points, each point equal to Re 1 when redeemed.

If you want more affordable but still powerful iPhones, the iPhone 16 128GB starts at Rs 60,990 and can be bought at Rs 57,990 after a Rs 3,000 instant discount.
