The Big Billion Day is just around the corner, and with each passing day, new details and discount possibilities have raised anticipation for the sale. The Apple iPhone 16 and a few other devices are in the limelight, given the extensive discounts they are generally offered with. As per a latest update now reflecting on Flipkart, the new iPhone 16 (128 GB) will be available at Rs 51,999 once the sale commences. In a rather unexpected turn of events, the iPhone 14 is currently being retailed on the same e-commerce website for Rs 52,000, while the all-new iPhone 16 is set to drop to Rs 51,999.
The 256 GB variant will be priced at Rs 61,999 under the new pricing update. As of now, the upcoming discounts on the iPhone 16 are already visible, but the discounts for the Pro and Pro Max models are yet to be announced. Beyond the iPhone 16, a slew of other phones will also be going on discount soon.
Another deal that has caught our attention is the possibility of the Google Pixel being retailed for Rs 35,000. Currently, the listed price is Rs 64,999, and Flipkart is also offering exchange bonuses of up to Rs 46,350.
However, the exchange bonus depends heavily on the quality and usability of your existing phone, so it’s important to check the exact value your device can fetch before being enticed by the low prices often quoted by e-commerce platforms.
The report also suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be priced at Rs 89,999, a massive drop from its launch price of Rs 1,44,900.
As always, it’s expected that stocks will clear out pretty fast, and prices may fluctuate during the sale.
