Apple has now opened official pre-orders for the much-awaited iPhone 17 in India from September 12. The arrival has whipped up excitement amongst purchasers, and many are looking to lay their hands on the latest iPhone ahead of the stock being depleted. As pre-orders usually see a rush and certain models get booked within minutes, it’s a smart idea to prepare early.
Apple will officially start selling the iPhone 17 on September 19, with the first batch across India. If you create your Apple account in advance, choose the model you want, and keep your payment details ready, you can enjoy a smooth and hassle-free purchase.
If you are looking at pre-ordering the iPhone 17 in India, you have a number of options. Probably the best place is Apple’s official website and app. Retail chain Croma is also taking pre-orders on its website and at hundreds of outlets across India.
Flipkart and Amazon are good alternatives for those who are regulars at shopping on the Internet. Additionally, Vijay Sales is taking bookings, though customers will need to complete a form and pay an advance to confirm their order.
To secure your iPhone 17, you’ll need to pay a small booking amount of ₹2,000. This applies to both online and offline stores.
| Model | Price | Pre-booking Amount |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 17 | 82,900 | 2,000 |
| iPhone Air | 1,19,900 | 2,000 |
| iPhone 17 Pro | 1,34,900 | 17,000 |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | 1,49,900 | 17,000 |
Faster is better when we’re talking about iPhone releases. Pre-ordering the iPhone 17 on the first day may be a challenge since bestsellers are reserved within a matter of minutes. Preselect your model and storage ahead of time via the Apple Store app to expedite the selection.
In India, bookings usually begin around 5:00 a.m. PDT, so check the local time beforehand. A few minutes before the window opens, start refreshing both the Apple Store app and website. Once it’s live, head straight to your “Bag” or “Account” page to complete the purchase.
Keep your payment options ready for a faster checkout, and refresh the site if the option doesn’t appear immediately. In case Apple’s servers are busy, e-commerce platforms such as Flipkart, Amazon, or even Croma stores can help you complete the pre-order.
