Ahead of February 14, e-commerce websites and big name players from the tech industry have taken it upon themselves to make sure that this Valentine's Day turns out to be a happy one for all.
While the likes of Amazon and Flipkart are offering great discounts on a range of products - including furniture to fashion - even smartphone makers like Apple have jumped into the ring and are currently running promotional offers under which customers can buy new phones without making much difference to their bank balance.
There's no denying that at times buying Valentine's Day gifts can get a bit heavy on the pocket. However, the blow can be softened by availing these offers.
Apple HDFC cashback offer
For those looking to buy an Apple smartphone or iPad, there are great deals and offers to be availed. A new offer by HDFC Bank in partnership with Apple will now allow card owners to buy older models of the iPhone at discounted prices.
Under the new Valentine's Day deals, Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone SE are being offered on cashback of Rs 7000 for transactions made using HDFC Bank debit card and credit card. The offer stands valid from February 9 till February 14 and applies to EMI transactions carried out using the banking partner's cards.
However, there's a small catch here. Apple's Valentine's Day deals are not available through purchase from e-commerce websites and is eligible at only select authorised offline Apple sellers.
All about iPhones
Let's start things off with the iPhone SE. Apple's most affordable smartphone SE is no slouch when it comes to performance, and brings with it good specs and an above par 4-inch HD display for all your multimedia needs. The phone's design is sleek and is sure to make you a happy owner. Under the offer, the phone's price can be brought down to the Rs 15,000-mark, making it a brilliant buy.
The iPhone 6 is also being offered with the same cashback discount, bringing its price down to Rs 20,000 from Rs 27,000. This will appeal greatly to people who are looking at an iPhone at an affordable price, but do not want to opt for the iPhone SE because of its small display.
iPads on discount
Apart from iPhones, Apple and HDFC are extending the cashback offer on iPads too.
The Apple iPad 9.7-inch (32GB, Wi-Fi-only) can be purchased at an effective price of Rs 15,000, down from its current price of Rs 25,000. But that's not all. The Rs 10,000 cashback offer is also available on all other iPads too.
Looking for an Android?
However, if iOS is not your cup of tea, and it is an Android device that you are looking for, then we have good news for you.
Both Amazon and Flipkart have great deals running on devices such as Google's Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Both are top-of-the-line devices that bring with them high-end specs, including Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835, paired with 4GB RAM and a camera module that is arguably the best in the industry.
Although both e-commerce platforms have great deals on the phones, its Flipkart which currently has the phones available for a better price - Pixel 2 at Rs 47,999 and Pixel 2 XL at Rs 55,490.
