This cashback is similarly available for transactions made with ICICI Bank debit cards.
Moreover, purchasers can receive an exchange value of up to Rs. 20,000 when trading in their older smartphones. The website also promotes an exchange bonus of up to Rs. 6,000 as an additional incentive. Notably, the full trade-in value can be obtained by exchanging a well-maintained iPhone 13 with 64GB of storage.
Comparable offers are available for the iPhone 16 Plus pre-orders. Additionally, customers opting for the iPhone 16 Pro models can benefit from cashback of Rs. 4,000 along with the same exchange incentives.

While the Apple Store does not present any cashback options when pre-booking a device, customers can take advantage of an exchange offer for trading in their older smartphones on the Apple website. Verification by Gadgets 360 staff reveals that users trading in the iPhone 15 Pro can receive an exchange value of Rs. 61,500. Interested individuals can ascertain the trade-in value for their other smartphones by visiting the website and entering the serial number of their device.
