iPhone 16 Pro Prices Plunge in India Ahead of iPhone 17 Launch

Deep, stackable offers tied to platform sales reflect inventory clearance as iPhone 17 orders near.

Overview

  • A Flipkart listing ahead of its GOAT sale shows the iPhone 16 Pro effectively at about ₹64,150 after a listed ₹7,000 reduction, up to ₹4,000 card cashback, and up to ₹44,750 in exchange value.
  • Vijay Sales lists the iPhone 16 Pro at ₹1,05,690, with additional card discounts and exchange deals that could bring the effective price close to ₹1,00,000.
  • News18 reports a teaser for a special online sale from September 23 that promotes the iPhone 16 Pro Max for under ₹1 lakh, with full offer terms yet to be disclosed.
  • Coverage links these markdowns to the iPhone 17 rollout, with pre-booking reported for September 12 and open sales from September 19, and with expectations that Apple will discontinue the 16 Pro models.
  • Retailers’ headline prices depend on eligibility for specific bank cards and accepted trade-in values, creating a short window for qualified buyers to secure lower effective costs.
