Super-Pharm Online is offering the iPhone 17 with 256GB of storage for NIS 2,799, a price significantly lower than official imports and even the tax-free prices in Eilat. This deal, positioned against the backdrop of the new iPhone 18 Pro launch and ongoing price wars, comes from parallel import channels.
The device is sold and supplied by NewSell, available in five colors, with free standard shipping and a one-year warranty from Mobile CE. It features a 6.3-inch screen, A19 chip, and a 48-megapixel Fusion camera system. A key distinction is that this model exclusively uses eSIM, lacking a physical SIM card slot.
Compared to official importers, Partner offers the iPhone 17 for NIS 3,779 (NIS 3,203 in Eilat), while Dynamic offers it for NIS 3,799 (NIS 3,219 in Eilat). IDigital sells it for NIS 4,169 (NIS 3,533 in Eilat) with a two-year warranty. The Super-Pharm Online offer is substantially cheaper, saving up to NIS 1,370 compared to IDigital's regular price and NIS 734 compared to its Eilat price, though it comes with a shorter warranty.
Potential buyers should consider the parallel import route, the identity of the warranty provider, and the eSIM-only functionality. Delivery takes four to eight business days, with an option for self-pickup from the seller within one business day, subject to stock and seller terms.
