Frequently asked questions
What ₹99 gets you
BytePe's Apple launch store has been taking ₹99 bookings for the Apple Watch Series 12, Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5 for a few days already. The iPhone 18 Pro Series joined them at 5:30 PM IST on 12 September, and you can book it on the iPhone 18 Pro page.
Three steps to a booking: choose the device, read the offer terms, confirm.
Treat the ₹99 as a place in line. When you complete the order, BytePe takes it off your bill, and if you decide the phone is not for you, the full ₹99 comes back. The cancellation and refund policy spells out how.
Priority shipping is the reason to book now instead of ordering normally next week. Once phones start moving on 18 September, pre-booked orders are processed ahead of everyone else's, and on a launch this popular that is the difference between having the phone in the first week and watching other people unbox theirs.
How ₹1,64,900 becomes ₹64,900
Apple sets the sticker price. BytePe's offer works underneath it, and two things come off at checkout: the value of the phone you trade in, and the bank offer.
| Option | Amount |
|---|---|
| Apple India price, 256GB iPhone 18 Pro | ₹1,64,900 |
| Exchange value, including the ₹10,000 pre-booking bonus | up to ₹90,000 |
| Bank offer on an ICICI Bank credit card | ₹10,000 |
| Effective price | as low as ₹64,900 |
Written out, that is ₹1,64,900 minus ₹90,000 minus ₹10,000, which leaves ₹64,900 for a 256GB iPhone 18 Pro. A lakh less than Apple's own number for the same phone.
BytePe puts the saving at up to ₹35,000, made up of the ₹10,000 exchange bonus, the ₹10,000 bank offer and ₹15,000 worth of device protection. The rest of the ₹90,000 is what your current phone is already worth, so a newer, well-kept handset is what carries you all the way down to ₹64,900.
If you missed the announcement, our Apple September event recap has Apple's India prices for the whole lineup, and the iPhone 18 India preview has the picture from before the event.
Exchange of up to ₹90,000, with ₹10,000 for booking early
Your old phone is the biggest lever in this deal. BytePe is offering exchange value of up to ₹90,000 on the iPhone 18 Pro, terms apply, and ₹10,000 of that is a bonus for pre-booking. That ₹10,000 comes from pre-booking, whatever phone you hand over.
Your exchange value depends on the device and its condition, and is confirmed on inspection.
Pair the bonus with a strong trade-in and you have taken almost a lakh off before the bank offer has even entered the picture. Get your quote on the iPhone 18 Pro page when you book.
Bank offers on ICICI, Axis and HDFC credit cards
Three banks are in this offer, and how much comes off depends on the card you pay with.
₹10,000 off on an ICICI Bank card, ₹5,000 on Axis Bank, ₹3,000 on HDFC Bank.
| Option | Flat discount |
|---|---|
| ICICI Bank | ₹10,000 |
| Axis Bank | ₹5,000 |
| HDFC Bank | ₹3,000 |
It is an instant reduction at checkout rather than cashback, so the lower number is what you actually pay on the day.
Stack the ICICI Bank offer on a full exchange and the 256GB iPhone 18 Pro sits at ₹64,900. The same trade-in leaves you at ₹69,900 on an Axis Bank card, and ₹71,900 on an HDFC Bank card.
Free protection now, assured buyback later
The offer includes free device protection worth ₹15,000. It is BytePe Secure, it covers accidental damage, and it is already in the deal, so you are not shopping for a plan the week after delivery. If you want to know what good cover looks like, our guide to choosing mobile damage cover goes through it.
Protection and buyback both carry conditions worth reading before you rely on them.
BytePe is also offering assured buyback of up to 75% of the device value, terms apply. That matters most if you swap phones every year or two, because you know roughly what the 18 Pro is worth on the way out while you are still deciding whether to buy it.
Shipping from 18 September, delivery 19 to 23 September
Shipping starts 18 September for the iPhone 18 Pro Series, Apple Watch Series 12, Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5. Delivery is expected between 19 and 23 September, depending on where you are, what is in stock and how the couriers are running. The shipping policy has the detail.
Pre-book and your order is processed ahead of the regular ones when shipping begins. If a Watch or AirPods are on your list too, those bookings are open at the same ₹99.
Paying for it: upfront, EMI or subscription
Pre-booking reserves the phone. Paying for it is a separate decision, and BytePe gives you three ways to do it.
Pay upfront and the exchange and bank offer come off first, so you settle the effective price in one go. Take an EMI through the EMI Store and you spread that amount over months, with cardless options if you do not have a credit card. Or put the phone on a BytePe subscription and treat the 18 Pro as a monthly cost instead of a lump sum.
Which route is cheapest depends on how long you tend to keep a phone. We worked through that in subscription versus buying outright, and it is worth ten minutes before you pick.
The iPhone 18 Pro is listed on BytePe at ₹1,64,900 for the 256GB model, with EMI from ₹7,679 a month. For context, here is what the iPhone 17 series costs on the catalogue, read on 13 September 2026.
| Option | MRP | BytePe price | EMI from |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 17 256GB | ₹99,900 | ₹96,900 | ₹4,698 / month |
| iPhone 17 Pro 256GB | ₹1,34,900 | ₹1,34,900 | ₹6,360 / month |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB | ₹1,49,900 | ₹1,49,900 | ₹7,094 / month |
Prices move during a launch window, so check the iPhone 18 Pro page before you commit.
