Overview
- Amazon India’s flat Rs. 6,900 price cut combined with ICICI and SBI bank rebates and Prime cashback brings the 128GB iPhone 16 down to an effective Rs. 66,500.
- These markdowns represent the deepest mid-cycle reductions since the device launched at Rs. 79,900 in September 2024.
- Apple and its retail partners are deploying aggressive discounts to clear existing iPhone 16 inventory ahead of the next-generation model’s expected release.
- Industry rumors suggest the iPhone 17 may feature a new, more efficient chipset, longer battery life, slimmer bezels, improved cameras with larger sensors, and on-device AI enhancements.
- Despite the upcoming refresh, the iPhone 16’s A18 performance, high-quality display, advanced camera system, ongoing iOS 18 support, and generous trade-in program maintain its appeal.
