Reports claiming Apple AirPods Pro to be available for Rs 999 fail to tell you that the Rs 18,000 discount is only possible if you exchange a top-of-the-line smartphone. The older/cheaper the smartphone for exchange, the lower the exchange price. We checked the exchange value of the Apple iPhone 12, which showed Rs 17,500 as the exchange value, not the discount. So shall we even call it a deal?
The best discount you can get without exchange is up to Rs 1,000 off on Kotak cards and credit EMIs, which effectively brings down the Apple AirPods Pro price to Rs 17,999 on Flipkart.
AirPods Pro India launch price, specifications
Apple AirPods Pro was launched in India in 2019 for Rs 24,900. The company claims that with the charging case they can deliver over 24 hours of listening time. AirPods Pro feature the Apple H1 chip, which provides remarkably seamless pairing and usability, thus setting new benchmarks for truly wireless earphones to follow.
The most striking feature of the Apple AirPods Pro – Active Noise Cancellation with Transparency Mode – lets users hear what is happening around them, which was later seen in other TWS products. For a custom fit, the Apple AirPods Pro come with three sizes of soft, tapered silicone tips. The silicone tips are water and sweat resistant.
Last year, the company announced the new Apple AirPods Pro with H2 chipset, enhanced active noise cancellation, and more, priced at Rs 26,900.
