Deal: Apple announces Diwali promotion, customers in India can get free AirPods when buying an iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 mini

Apple is not exactly known for running noteworthy promotions or for offering discounts at its official Apple online store, the only exception being the back to school programs that often take place in late summer in many Western countries and this year offered free AirPods when purchasing a Mac computer or an iPad.

However, according to MacRumors Apple has now announced that there will be an interesting promotion for its customers in India to celebrate the Diwali festival that begins on November 4. Starting October 7, Indian customers who buy an iPhone 12 (from INR65,900 on Amazon) or iPhone 12 mini (from INR59,900 on Amazon) at the official Apple store can also score a free pair of Apple's ultra popular wireless headphones, the AirPods. An upgrade to the AirPods with wireless charging case and the AirPods Pro is also possible, as the discount for the regular AirPods can be applied to these more expensive headphones.

The deal will last until November 4 or as long as supply lasts. A similar promotion last year was apparently very popular and supply ran out within hours according to MacRumors. Apple fans in India who are interested in this promotion should certainly set their alarm and place their order as quickly as possible on October 7. For the exact terms and conditions of this promotion, please refer to Apple's official Diwali Offer 2021 webpage.
