iPhone 18 Pro available for pre-order at Rs 1 lakh, here is how

Apple’s latest Pro iPhone is now available for pre-order in India at a starting price of Rs 1,64,900. But if you manage to stack cashback and exchange deals, you can buy it for Rs 1 Lakh. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at Rs 1,64,900 in India. Apple is offering up to Rs 7,000 cashback on eligible purchases, which immediately brings the effective cost down to Rs 1,57,900. The bigger saving comes if you have an older iPhone to exchange. According to the offer highlighted by Apple, an iPhone 16 Pro can fetch up to Rs 57,900 in exchange value, depending on its condition and eligibility. For iPhone 17 Pro you can get Rs 67,000. If you qualify for the maximum exchange value, the calculation looks like this: Rs 1,64,900 for the iPhone 18 Pro, minus Rs 7,000 cashback and Rs 57,900 exchange value. That brings the effective cost to Rs 1,00,000.Now for the phone itself, the iPhone 18 Pro brings several upgrades over iPhone 17 Pro aimed at improving performance, photography and everyday usability. It is powered by Apple’s new A20 Pro chip, which delivers faster performance and improved AI capabilities. The main camera gets a variable aperture, giving users greater control over light and potentially improving low-light photography and depth effects. Apple has also made the Dynamic Island smaller, creating more screen space on the 6.3-inch OLED display. The new Pro model also gets a larger battery, promising better endurance. Together, these upgrades make the iPhone 18 Pro a notable step up from the previous generation.
