Rs 98,790 is the new listed price for the iPhone Air at Vijay Sales, putting Apple’s slim flagship below Rs 99,000 without any bank offer or exchange bonus.
That marks a Rs 21,110 cut from the India launch price of Rs 1,19,900; added bank discounts can lower the effective price to under Rs 92,000.
Apple positions the model on design and premium hardware, with a 5.6mm titanium body, a 6.5-inch 120Hz OLED display and the A19 Pro chip.
The phone also carries a single 48-megapixel rear camera and all-day battery claims, making the discount notable for buyers weighing features against price.

With production halted, is the discounted iPhone Air a bargain or a risky bet on a dead-end product?

Given its commercial failure, why is Apple doubling down on a second-generation iPhone Air?
