iPhone 17 Pro Max 0% interest for 24 months Credit Card Offer

[anjanesh]

There is an no-cost EMI (no interest on monthly payouts) offer on a particular bank's credit card here.

+189900 (iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB Deep Blue) $2005.70
-5000 (flat discount) $52.80
+20900 (Apple Care +) $220.74
-23000 (buy back value for old phone, iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB) $243
+500 (GST, tax) $5.28

Pay Rs 6,000 ($63.39) per month for 24 months and remaining Rs 38,800 ($410) on the 25th month.

Is this a superb deal worth buying now ? Or should I wait 3 months for iPhone 18 Pro Max ?
(Battery health is at 76% or so)

PS: I may not actually sell my iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB because its it very good condition and may use it as an alternate number.

Why use a separate phone for another phone number and not use esim?

I wanted to upgrade my 12 Pro Max for the camera and internal storage. But I hear that 18 Pro Max would have telescopic camera of sorts ?
