Overview

  • Amazon lists the iPhone 15 (128GB) at Rs 47,999, a flat Rs 11,901 drop from the Rs 59,900 MRP, while the iPhone 13 (128GB) sits at Rs 43,900, narrowing the gap to Rs 4,099.
  • The iPhone 16 (128GB) on Amazon is down to Rs 66,900 during the Diwali sale, with an additional Rs 4,000 HDFC Debit Card EMI discount and exchange credit potentially taking the effective price below Rs 60,000.
  • Diwali pricing for the iPhone 16 Pro varies widely: Flipkart lists the 256GB model at Rs 1,04,999 with exchange offers up to Rs 61,900, while Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, and BigBasket range from Rs 99,990 (128GB) to Rs 1,19,900.
  • Retailers are stacking exchange deals and card rebates, including up to Rs 45,500 exchange on iPhone 15 and up to Rs 40,650 on iPhone 13, plus card-specific discounts like Rs 4,000 off on Flipkart Axis Bank credit cards.
  • Reviewers advise choosing the iPhone 15 over the discontinued iPhone 13 given the small price difference and better specs such as the A16 chip, 48MP main camera, and USB‑C, while subscription options like BytePe offer the iPhone 17 Pro Max at Rs 7,670 per month for one year.
