Black Friday has officially rolled out across India, and while the usual noise surrounds TVs, laptops, smart appliances and gaming gear, this year’s most unexpected spotlight falls on a device barely months old — the iPhone Air. Croma has kicked off its Black Friday Sale with a discount that no one saw coming, especially on a model that has remained firmly positioned at its premium tag since launch. Running from November 22 to November 30, the sale covers a wide mix of gadgets, but the iPhone Air offer easily stands out as one of the most notable deals of the season.

A Surprising Price Drop on a Fresh iPhone
Apple launched the iPhone Air in India in September, positioning the 256GB variant at Rs 1,19,900. Despite being a new entrant, Croma has cut the price to Rs 1,12,900 as part of its Black Friday promotions, giving buyers a flat Rs 7,000 instant reduction. The value proposition gets even stronger with additional bank benefits. Customers using credit cards from ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank or SBI can claim an added Rs 4,000 discount, taking the total effective drop to Rs 11,000. For a device this new, such an early-season deal is unusual, making it one of the more compelling upgrade opportunities for Apple users this year.
Premium Display and Performance
The iPhone Air continues Apple’s push into lighter, more power-efficient premium devices. It features a 6.5-inch OLED panel with ProMotion, a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits peak outdoor brightness. The 7-layer antireflective coating further improves visibility under direct sunlight, an area where many devices struggle.

Under the hood, it runs the A19 Pro chip — the same powerhouse that drives the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple’s 48-megapixel Fusion rear camera system handles primary imaging duties, while the 18-megapixel front camera manages selfies and video calls. Buyers can choose from Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold and Sky Blue.
With the device being so new and the discount window short, this Black Friday offer is one of those rare moments when timing and price line up perfectly — especially for anyone waiting to land an iPhone Air without paying full launch value.
