A cashback offer can further reduce the amount that you will ultimately pay. In the maximum-value scenario, the combined exchange and cashback benefits bring the effective cost of the iPhone 18 Pro down to ₹71,557 or roughly ₹71,500.

For the iPhone 15 Pro 256GB, the exchange value goes up to ₹71,000, which brings the final effective price of the iPhone 18 Pro 256GB to ₹90,860 after the applicable cashback offer.

So, while exchanging an iPhone 16 Pro 256GB can bring the iPhone 18 Pro down to around ₹71,500, exchanging an iPhone 15 Pro 256GB results in an effective price of around ₹90,800.

The key takeaway is that these are effective prices, not the actual selling price of the iPhone 18 Pro. You need to meet the exchange conditions and qualify for the applicable cashback to get the maximum benefit. The final exchange value can also change after the old device is assessed.
