Apple iPhone 16 price drop
iPhone 16 price drop: Apple announced a price hike for the iPhone 16 soon after launching the iPhone 18 Pro series in India. On Apple India’s official website, the device currently starts at Rs 89,900. However, the smartphone can be purchased at a massive discount of up to Rs 23,495, inclusive of bank offers and the price drop. This implies that you are getting the iPhone 16 at a price similar to what the iPhone 15 will be available at during the Big Billion Days sale 2026.
If you plan to buy the smartphone, here are the details worth noting.
Apple iPhone 16 (128GB) is listed at a starting price of Rs 69,900 on Flipkart. This is a net Rs 20,000 saving over the current Apple pricing. To sweeten the deal further, buyers can avail Rs 3,495 off via Flipkart Axis Bank credit cards. Buyers can also avail up to Rs 54,400 off via exchange cashback.
Do note that this may be a time-sensitive deal, as other variants of the smartphone are out of stock. In terms of specifications, here is what the phone offers.
Apple iPhone 16 sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with Dynamic Island and an outdoor peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits. Coming to performance, the IP68-handset offers a 3nm A18 chipset for day-to-day multitasking. The phone runs on iOS 18 out of the box.
iPhone 16 houses a 3,561mAh battery. Speaking of optics, the handset sports a 48MP primary and a 12MP ultrawide on the rear and a 12MP selfie lens. Moving to connectivity, the phone offers Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
For buyers planning to buy an iPhone in the sub-Rs 65,000 price range, this could be the best time to upgrade. iPhone 16 could be a better pick than the iPhone 15 right now, considering the latter will be available at that price in Flipkart’s BBD sale 2026. A newer-generation iPhone will be a no-brainer in this case right now.
