The festive season sales in India are proving to be a bonanza for smartphone purchasers, particularly for those interested in Apple’s iPhones. Flipkart and Amazon have introduced remarkable discounts on the iPhone range as part of their annual mega sales—Big Billion Days and Great Indian Festival. Flipkart has revealed some of its most significant discounts, allowing customers to save up to ₹55,000 on premium iPhones. The standout deal is for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which will have its price reduced from ₹1,44,900 (MRP) to just ₹89,900. This also includes a ₹5,000 bank offer, bringing the total savings to an impressive ₹55,000.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple’s flagship from the previous year, remains a strong contender with its 6.9-inch OLED display featuring ProMotion technology and the high-speed A18 Pro chipset. This festive season could be the ideal opportunity for those who have been hesitating due to the high price tag. Additionally, Flipkart is providing significant discounts on the iPhone 16 Pro. This model, originally priced at ₹1,19,900, will be available for ₹69,900 during the sale, further reduced by a ₹5,000 card discount, resulting in an effective price cut of ₹50,000. The iPhone 16 Pro has a smaller 6.3-inch OLED display but is powered by the same A18 Pro chip, ensuring excellent performance.
For buyers on a budget, the base iPhone 16 will also see a notable discount. Priced at ₹79,999, it will be listed at ₹51,999 during Flipkart’s Big Billion Days, inclusive of bank offers, resulting in a savings of ₹28,000. The iPhone 16 includes Apple Intelligence support and operates on the A18 chipset, though it lacks the 120Hz ProMotion display found in the Pro models. It is important to note that these offers are not yet active; they will begin with Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale starting on September 23. Flipkart Plus and Flipkart Black members will have early access to these discounts. All prices mentioned pertain to the base storage variants.
On the other hand, Amazon is making headlines with its competitive offer on the iPhone 15 during its Great Indian Festival sale, with the device priced at ₹46,999, down from ₹69,900, marking a direct saving of ₹22,901, excluding additional card discounts that may further reduce the price. The iPhone 15 remains a strong option, boasting a 6.1-inch OLED display and the reliable A16 Bionic processor. Amazon has made this deal available early for Prime members, while general access will begin on September 23, coinciding with the wider sale launch. With both Flipkart and Amazon competing for festive shoppers, customers now have an excellent opportunity to purchase Apple’s latest and recent iPhones at unprecedented prices.
For those who have been waiting all year to upgrade, these offers could not have arrived at a better time.
