The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be available offline in authorised Apple retail stores like Imagine, and are also listed online on Flipkart, Amazon and Paytm Mall. One common bank offer available on the iPhone 11 series across retail channels is from HDFC Bank, which is offering Rs 6,000 discount or cashback on the iPhone 11 and Rs 7,000 discount or cashback on the iPhone 11 Pro variants.
But it is possible to get the iPhone 11 at Rs 39,000 for a select few with HDFC Bank credit or debit cards. We explain how this particular offer will work on the iPhone 11.
HDFC Bank has more to offer in terms of discounts and benefits for those who hold its premium HDFC Bank Infinia Credit Card.

HDFC Bank is offering reward points up to Rs 19,600 for those who use this particular credit card to buy the iPhone 11. There’s also no cost EMI up to 6 months. With the rewards benefit and instant discount, the effective discount is Rs 25,600 and the effective price of the phone is Rs 39,300 with the company claiming discount benefits of 39 per cent.
Keep in mind the actual price will still remain the same at Rs 64,900, though with instant discount of Rs 6,000 it comes down to Rs 58,900. But if one were to add the effective reward points being credited, then the price comes down to Rs 39,300.
According to the HDFC Bank’s Smart Buy offers website, the 10X reward points system is not applicable on EMI transactions. It is only applicable on full swipe transaction. For those who own the HDFC Bank Diners Black Credit Card, they can also get 10X reward points out worth Rs 16,960 on the iPhone 11, along with the Rs 6,000 cashback or instant discount.
