India: Apple has rolled out its Mother’s Day Sale in India, offering instant cashback of up to Rs 10,000 on a wide range of products including iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watch models, and AirPods. The offers are live on the company’s official store and are primarily available through select bank cards such as ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, and American Express.
While there are no direct price cuts, the cashback is applied at checkout, reducing the effective purchase price.

👉 Tip: Compare final prices (including bank offers) across platforms before purchasing to maximise savings.
