All models at Grest come with up to a 12-months written warranty and allow inspection before purchase. No appointment is needed.
iPhone 17e: The Most Affordable Way Into the 2025 Lineup
India new: Rs. 64,900 | Grest certified: Rs. 55,199 (save Rs. 9,701)
The iPhone 17e starts at Rs. 64,900 for the base 256GB storage model in India, making it the most affordable option in the latest generation of iPhones. The 17e launched in India on March 11, 2026, four months after the main iPhone 17 lineup.
The iPhone 17e runs on the same A19 chip as the full iPhone 17 series. This means Apple Intelligence, smooth performance, and software support like the rest of the lineup. It includes a 48MP camera, 256GB base storage, and MagSafe support. Available colours are Black, Soft Pink, and White.
The 17e is built for buyers who want current-generation Apple performance and software at a price under Rs. 65,000 new. At Rs. 55,199, certified at Grest, the saving is Rs. 9,701 against the new retail price. The device carries the same up to 12-months warranty as every other certified unit in the store.
Who should buy the iPhone 17e? The iPhone 17e is ideal for first-time iPhone buyers, students, families, and anyone upgrading from an iPhone 11 or older. It delivers current-generation Apple performance, long software support, and access to the Apple ecosystem at the most accessible price point in the 2026 lineup. For buyers who prioritise value over premium features, the 17e is one of the smartest choices available.
iPhone 17: The Standard That Stopped Being Standard
iPhone 17: New ₹1,34,900 | Grest Pricing Starts at ₹68,299
The iPhone 17 is the biggest leap the base model has taken in several generations. ProMotion 120Hz display technology comes to the standard iPhone for the first time. The iPhone 17 is no longer the compromise model in the lineup. Previous generations required a Pro purchase to access 120Hz. In 2025, it will be standard on the base model.
The iPhone 17 features a 6.3-inch display, Apple A19 chip, and 8GB RAM. It has dual 48MP rear cameras (wide and ultrawide) and an 18MP front camera. The aluminium unibody design improves heat dissipation over previous models. Camera Control, the dedicated camera shortcut button introduced in iPhone 16, carries forward. Storage starts at 256GB, which is double the iPhone 16's base storage.
The iPhone 17 also has a more scratch-resistant front glass. It features a customisable Action Button and Always-On display functionality. These were previously Pro-exclusive features. The net result is that the gap between the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro is smaller than ever.
At Grest, the certified iPhone 17 is currently priced from Rs. 71,999. This represents up to 46% off the MRP on higher storage configurations.
Who should buy the iPhone 17: The majority of buyers. Upgrading from an iPhone 12, 13, or 14 delivers significant improvements in camera performance, display, and overall performance. Upgrading from iPhone 16 is incremental, but the ProMotion Always-On display and camera updates are real. For anyone who wants a current-generation iPhone at a certified price, the iPhone 17 at Rs. 71,999 is the most accessible flagship in the 2025 lineup. Check the certified refurbished iPhone 17 listing at Grest for current storage options and availability.
iPhone Air: The Thinnest iPhone Ever Made
iPhone Air: New ₹1,19,900 | Grest Pricing Starts at ₹81,099
The iPhone 17 Air makes thinness and design the focus of the 2025 lineup. It is just 5.5mm thick, making it the slimmest iPhone ever made. This thinness comes at the cost of some camera flexibility. The Air replaced the iPhone Plus but is fundamentally different. The Plus was about battery and screen size; the Air is about design and form factor.
The iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever at just 5.6mm, compared to the previous record of 6.9mm with the iPhone 6. Holding the Air is a noticeably different physical experience from any iPhone before it. At 5.85mm thin with a 6.5-inch display, it is both one of the largest and one of the slimmest devices Apple has made.
The Air uses the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17 but focuses on a minimalist design and low weight. It has a single 48MP rear lens, unlike the iPhone 17 (dual rear lenses) or the Pro (triple-lens system). The Air is best for travel or everyday photos, not for users who want advanced ultrawide or telephoto options found in the 17 Pro and Pro Max. Choosing Air means preferring thinness over flexible lens configurations.
The iPhone Air is eSIM-only across all regions. This matters to Indian buyers who switch SIMs often or use physical dual-SIMs for work and personal numbers. Confirm with your carrier that they fully support eSIMs before purchasing.
Who should buy the iPhone Air: Design-conscious buyers who want the most premium-feeling iPhone ever made. Frequent travellers who value the thinnest possible form factor. Buyers who do not rely on ultrawide or telephoto photography. Not the right choice for buyers who swap physical SIMs or need multi-lens camera flexibility. Browse the certified iPhone Air listing at Grest for current pricing and availability.
iPhone 17 Pro: The Camera System for Serious Shooters
iPhone 17 Pro: New ₹1,34,900 | Grest Pricing Starts at ₹1,11,099
The iPhone 17 Pro features triple 48MP cameras. These include wide, ultrawide, and telephoto, with up to 8x optical zoom. It also offers ProRes RAW capability for filmmakers. The camera bump of previous Pro models is gone. It is now a wider, horizontal camera panel that houses the three-lens system. This design improves heat management and spacing for optical components.
The A19 Pro chip delivers 40% better sustained performance than the A16 Pro chip in the iPhone 16 Pro series. This is due to a new aluminium frame and cooling system. For video creators, ProRes RAW and Genlock support professional filmmaking tools. No other smartphone in this price range offers this level of integration.
The iPhone 17 Pro shares its 6.3-inch display size with the standard iPhone 17. However, the display tier, sustained performance, and camera system are in separate categories. For buyers whose primary use case is professional-level photography and video, the Pro is the right choice.
At Rs. 1,11,099 certified, the saving against new retail is Rs. 23,801. The Pro is currently showing as sold out at Grest. Check the certified iPhone 17 Pro listing for restock notifications and current availability.
Who should buy the iPhone 17 Pro: Content creators, photographers, and video professionals who use the iPhone as a primary camera. The triple 48MP system, 8x optical zoom, ProRes RAW, and A19 Pro chip separate the Pro from every other model for camera-first buyers.

Browse all current certified iPhone listings at Grest for live pricing and stock status. Next, let’s explore some key updates Apple introduced with the 2025 models.
Apple made two significant changes to the 2025 lineup. First, the iPhone Plus was replaced by the iPhone Air, which is slimmer and emphasises design over battery life. The Air differs from previous Plus models by being the thinnest and lightest iPhone, not just a larger standard model, and is targeted at those who value design over maximum battery life. The iPhone 17 continues as the balanced model focused on performance, while the Air is more for buyers who want ultra-slim and stylish devices.
Second, the iPhone 17 itself is no longer a compromise between entry and pro models. In 2025, Apple introduced ProMotion 120Hz Always-On display technology on the base iPhone 17, previously exclusive to Pro models. Now, the iPhone 17 offers buyers nearly the same high-end display as the Pro series, narrowing the performance and feature gap between the standard and Pro models.
The iPhone 17 lineup currently available at Grest includes four distinct models, each designed for a different type of buyer. The 6.3-inch iPhone 17 delivers the best balance of performance, features, and value. The 6.5-inch iPhone Air focuses on an ultra-thin design and lightweight feel, while the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 Pro is built for users who want advanced camera capabilities and premium features. The iPhone 17e, launched in 2026, serves as the most affordable entry point into the lineup, offering modern Apple performance and long software support at a lower price.
Whether you prioritise value, design, photography, or affordability, the iPhone 17 family provides multiple options built around the latest generation of Apple hardware and software.
Why Walk-In Inspection Matters at This Price Point
At Rs. 55,199 to Rs. 1,11,099, the iPhone 17 series is not a casual purchase. Buying remotely from an unverified online listing means accepting the device as described without seeing it. Grest's walk-in model changes this.
At the Grest stores, every iPhone 17 series device can be tested before payment. Here is what that inspection covers:
-
Face ID responsiveness in real lighting conditions, not a product photo
-
Display quality for colour uniformity, dead pixel check, and edge bleed
-
Camera performance with actual test shots in the store environment
-
All physical controls, including the Action Button, Camera Control, side button, and mute switch
-
Battery health as an actual disclosed percentage, not a verbal assurance
-
IMEI verification on the spot to confirm clean unlock status
-
Cosmetic grade accuracy, so Superb condition looks Superb in person, not just in a listing image
No other certified refurbished seller in Delhi NCR offers a walk-in inspection before payment for the iPhone 17 series.This is Grest's structural advantage and the reason buyers from South Delhi, Noida, and Central Delhi make the drive to grest stores.
iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Is It Worth Upgrading?
For buyers currently on an iPhone 16, the upgrade to iPhone 17 is real but incremental. The ProMotion Always-On display is new to the standard model. The dual 48MP camera system is improved. The A19 chip is faster. If these additions are not what you need, a certified refurbished iPhone 16 from Grest's full certified iPhone range at a lower price point may be the smarter financial decision.
For buyers of iPhone 14 or earlier models, the iPhone 17 is a significant upgrade across display technology, camera capabilities, performance, and battery life. The jump from a 60Hz non-Always-On display to ProMotion 120Hz Always-On is, in itself, a meaningful daily experience improvement.
For first-time iPhone buyers, the iPhone 17 is the current standard model and the correct starting point. The iPhone 17e is the right choice if budget is the primary constraint.
