Apple iPhone 7 available at Rs 7777, but here's the catch

The iPhone 7, predecessor of the recently launched iPhone 8, is now available by paying Rs 7777 down payment for the 32GB model. It is now selling at the Bharti Airtel exclusive online store.

The phone also comes bundled with extra data and secure package from Airtel covering damage, and more. The Airtel store went live today and the company has added both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to its stores. The online services are available to customers in 21 cities across India. 

After paying Rs 7777 as down payment, users will have to pay Rs 2499 per month for the next 24 months. These monthly instalments mean a special plan that brings 30GB data and unlimited calls, be it local, STD and national roaming. Also includes Airtel Secure package that will look after any physical damage done to the device as well as offer cyber protection.

Harmeen Mehta, Global CIO & Director - Engineering, Bharti Airtel said, "This is yet another exciting digital innovation from Airtel to delight customers. Not only are we making it easier for millions of customers to upgrade to devices they always wanted, we are also making the entire process seamless and simple through digital technologies.
