With the festive shopping season around the corner, buyers looking: A practical reader guide

With the festive shopping season around the corner, buyers looking to purchase an iPhone may be able to get select models at discounted prices during Amazon and Flipkart’s upcoming sales.

Why festive sale prices matter this year

The exact iPhone prices and model-specific offers on Amazon may vary during the sale and will depend on the offers available at the time of purchase. The upcoming discounts come after Apple raised iPhone prices in India following the launch of its latest models. The price increases were linked to higher memory and storage chip costs amid supply pressures.

The iPhone 17 is expected to be available at an effective price of ₹ 79,999 during Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale. Apple currently lists the 256GB iPhone 17 at ₹ 99,900 in India. Its 512GB variant is priced at ₹ 1,24,900, according to the company’s official pricing. The iPhone 15 is also expected to be available at a lower effective price during the Big Billion Days sale.

With festive sales now approaching, bank discounts, exchange bonuses and other promotional offers could therefore make older and current-generation iPhones available at lower effective prices than their official retail prices.
