Huge Discounts on iPhone 16 Series This Festive Season
Apple users in India are in for a surprise this festive season. The iPhone 16 series has received its biggest-ever price drop, thanks to the arrival of the newly launched iPhone 17 lineup and the iPhone Air. Whenever Apple unveils new models, older iPhones usually get cheaper. But this year, the discounts are bigger than ever.
E-commerce platforms and retail outlets are slashing prices across the board. Among them, Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale is offering the most eye-catching deal on the iPhone 16 Pro, making it available for less than ₹75,000. This move could make Apple’s premium devices more accessible to a larger audience just ahead of Diwali shopping.
iPhone 16 Pro Now Available Under ₹75,000
The iPhone 16 Pro was launched in 2024 at a premium price of ₹1,19,999. It was marketed as a flagship device that delivered top-tier performance and cutting-edge design. Now, Flipkart has slashed its price to ₹74,900 during the sale.
In addition to the discounted price, Flipkart is also offering bank offers and cashback deals, further reducing the effective cost. This is the first time an iPhone Pro model of this generation has dropped below the ₹75,000 mark, and it could be a game-changer for buyers looking for a high-end iPhone without paying the full premium.
The iPhone 16 Pro features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion for smoother scrolling and gaming. It runs on the A18 Pro chip, powered by a 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. With 8GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 128GB to 1TB, the device is built for performance and speed.
For photography, the Pro camera system stands out. It combines a 48MP main lens, a 48MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP telephoto lens with up to 5x optical zoom. These features ensure that the iPhone 16 Pro remains one of the most powerful camera phones even after the launch of its successor.
iPhone 16 Gets a 35% Price Cut
Not just the Pro model, the standard iPhone 16 has also seen a major price drop. Initially priced at ₹79,999, the device is now listed at ₹69,999 on Apple’s official store. But Flipkart has gone further, offering it at just ₹51,999, marking a 35% cut compared to its launch price.
The iPhone 16 features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a resolution of 2556×1179 pixels and a standard 60Hz refresh rate. It runs on the A18 chip, which includes a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, and the same 16-core Neural Engine found in the Pro variant. With 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, it delivers solid performance for day-to-day use.
The device comes with a dual-camera setup, featuring a 48MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, making it a reliable choice for photography enthusiasts who don’t need the extra telephoto zoom of the Pro model.
Amazon Sale Yet to Announce iPhone Deals
While Flipkart has already revealed its festive pricing, Amazon’s Great Indian Festival Sale is also just around the corner. However, the e-commerce giant has not yet confirmed its offers on iPhones. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro is unavailable on Amazon’s website, which gives Flipkart an edge in the competition for festive buyers.
Final Thoughts
The iPhone 16 series price cut is one of the biggest highlights of this festive season. With the iPhone 16 Pro now under ₹75,000 and the standard iPhone 16 dropping to ₹51,999, Apple has made its devices more affordable for Indian customers. Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale is shaping up to be the perfect opportunity for buyers who want premium Apple devices without paying flagship prices.
