iPhone Air has become a lot more affordable than it was at launch. Buyers can now get Apple's premium smartphone for less than Rs. 1 lakh through a fresh deal on Vijay Sales.
The price cut comes at a good time. Many people have been waiting for the phone to become cheaper before making a purchase. In addition to the direct discount, buyers can save more through bank offers and exchange deals.
The offer also puts iPhone Air in direct competition with Samsung's Galaxy S26. Both phones target buyers looking for a premium experience, but each has its own strengths.
iPhone Air is now listed at Rs. 98,990, down from its original price of Rs. 1,19,900. This is a flat discount of Rs. 20,000. The savings do not stop there. Buyers using eligible bank cards can get extra discounts or cashback. Consumers purchasing the device with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI Bank, or Axis Bank credit cards can get an extra Rs. 4,000 discount. Those trading in an old smartphone may also receive a good exchange value, depending on the phone's condition.
Vijay Sales is also offering no-cost EMI options, making the phone easier to buy without paying the full amount upfront. Apple phones usually do not receive such big discounts outside major shopping festivals. This is why this deal is getting attention.
Now that the iPhone Air costs under Rs. 1 lakh, many buyers will compare it with the Galaxy S26. The Galaxy S26 has the edge if cameras are your top priority. It offers more camera options, a larger battery, and useful AI features for photo editing and daily tasks.
iPhone Air is great in other ways. It's light in the hand, runs smoothly, and plays well with other Apple devices. If you already have a MacBook, Apple Watch, or iPad, the experience is even better.
Both phones feature bright screens and snappy performance. Either will be fine for most people for everyday use. If you love Android and want more control over your phone, the Galaxy S26 is a good choice. However, if you’re a fan of iOS and want to stay in the Apple ecosystem, the iPhone Air makes more sense.

The latest price cut makes the iPhone Air much easier to recommend. At Rs. 98,900, it offers better value than it did when it first launched.
Apple usually provides software updates for many years. If the phone receives updates for about 6 years, the ownership cost comes to roughly Rs. 16,600 per year. That makes the price easier to justify for people who keep their phones for a long time.
Another advantage is resale value. iPhones usually sell for more than most Android flagships after a few years. This helps reduce the real cost of ownership. If you were waiting for the right time to buy the iPhone Air, this is one of the strongest deals available so far.
