An Apple iPhone for less than a weekend getaway? Yes, really. The iPhone 16 price drop on Flipkart brings Apple’s 128GB model down to an effective Rs 19,655, from its listed price of Rs 69,900. You get there by stacking a bank discount on top of an exchange offer.
The deal was first reported by Cashify, and before you rush to checkout, though, Rs 19,655 is the best-case price, not a flat discount everyone gets. Here’s how it works.
It starts with the 128GB iPhone 16 in Black at Rs 69,900. A Flipkart Axis Bank credit card takes off Rs 3,495, bringing it to Rs 66,405.
Then comes the exchange offer, which does most of the work. Trade in an eligible old phone and Flipkart offers up to Rs 46,750 in exchange value. If you get the maximum discount and the full exchange value, you pay just Rs 19,655.
Don’t have an Axis card? Flipkart is also showing an SBI Bank offer of Rs 3,970, depending on your card and the offer’s terms.
Choose the 128GB variant and check which bank offers apply at checkout. Then enter your delivery pincode to see whether exchange is available in your area. Once that’s confirmed, pick your old phone and check its exchange value, and Flipkart will show the final amount at checkout.
The exchange value depends on your old phone’s model, condition and eligibility, so a well-used handset is unlikely to fetch the full Rs 46,750. Without an eligible exchange, the lowest you’ll pay with the Axis Bank offer is Rs 66,405.
If your current phone is ready for an upgrade, check the final exchange valuation and bank discount before you order. If both work in your favour, this could be one of the better iPhone deals around.
