Ahead of Apple iPhone 17 serie launch, Flipkart is now offering the iPhone 16 (128GB, Black) at a reduced price of Rs 69,999, reflecting a straight Rs 9,901 drop from its initial launch cost of Rs 79,900. Only the black 128GB storage model qualifies for the current discount. Flipkart also offers significant trade-in savings, with exchange benefits reaching up to Rs 45,150. The final value depends on your old smartphone’s condition and your location. The iPhone 16 made its debut in India in September 2024, launching alongside the Plus, Pro, and Pro Max editions. The standard model runs on Apple’s 3nm A18 octa-core processor and is available in three storage configurations—128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
Apple iPhone 16 specifications:
The iPhone 16 features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen, offering peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits. It includes Ceramic Shield protection and Apple’s Dynamic Island interface. Under the hood, it runs on a 3nm A18 octa-core processor and comes with storage options of up to 512GB. The device is preloaded with iOS 18.
On the photography front, the iPhone 16 sports a 48MP primary lens paired with a 12MP ultrawide sensor on the rear, while the front houses a 12MP TrueDepth camera for selfies and video calls. The ultrawide lens also supports macro photography capabilities.
Connectivity options include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C. The phone is rated IP68, making it resistant to dust and water.
Apple iPhone 17 series launch:
Apple is gearing up to launch the iPhone 17 lineup this September, which will reportedly include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Plus. Alongside these models, speculation points to the debut of an all-new variant called the iPhone 17 Air, expected to make its first appearance at the same event.
The iPhone 17 Air is said to feature a slimmer, more polished design, setting it apart from the rest of the series. Rather than being a direct replacement for the discontinued Plus model, the Air version represents a new direction within Apple’s evolving smartphone portfolio.
