The iPhone 17 is turning out to be an awkward successor to the iPhone lineup as far as leaks are concerned. With limited upgrades on paper, the iPhone 17 may not possess any advantage over the iPhone 16 as far as raw performance is concerned. On a different note, this makes the iPhone 16 a more compelling deal, especially when the upcoming model is supposed to drive down its prices.
For someone looking to buy an iPhone in June, the iPhone 16 ends up being a better deal than it was a few months ago. Being the first non-Pro iPhone to come with Apple Intelligence out of the box, the iPhone 16, along with its dedicated Camera Control key and a set of competent camera sensors, makes it an all-rounder package.
Right now, Flipkart is offering a good deal on the iPhone 16, selling it at a much lower price than what you can buy on Amazon. Here’s a quick look at the deal.
iPhone 16 128GB deal on Flipkart
The iPhone 16 128GB variant is currently selling at a price of Rs 69,990, thus making it almost Rs 10,000 cheaper than the Apple Store price. However, if this doesn’t seem like a good deal, there’s more from Flipkart to exploit to get an even nicer deal on the iPhone 16.
For those possessing the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card, Flipkart is offering a discount of 5 per cent, which translates to roughly Rs 3,500. This brings the price down to Rs 66,499.
Additionally, Flipkart’s exchange policy with older devices reduces the price further. For example, if you have an iPhone 15 for trading in, you will get an exchange bonus of up to Rs 38,000. Note that the exchange price keeps reducing for older iPhones and Android devices.
iPhone 16: Is it a good buy now?
A quick look at the iPhone 16’s specifications reveals why this might still be a great deal for premium smartphone shoppers. The iPhone 16 is based on Apple’s 3nm A18 chipset paired with 8GB RAM, which allows the phone to run Apple Intelligence features out of the box. The 6.1-inch OLED display features just 60Hz refresh rate but includes the Dynamic Island for masking the FaceID sensors. The camera system includes a combination of a 48MP main shooter and a 12MP ultrawide sensor on the back and a 12MP sensor at the front for selfies and video calls. The iPhone 16 features USB-C charging port, the Action button for switching ringer profiles and the Camera Control key.
