Apple unveiled its new iPhone 16 series on September 9, 2024, with pre-orders kicking off on 13th September and availability in stores from 20th September. Following this launch, it was announced that the price of the previous generation iPhone series would be reduced, as it has been a consistent trend in the previous years. The iPhone series was launched in 2023 at a cost of Rs. 79,999. Currently, the base iPhone 15 mobiles are available on Flipkart and Amazon for Rs.63,999 and Rs. 65,900, respectively.
As we approach the two major annual sales fests in the next week, you can expect to see additional discounts added to these models soon. The only question you need to ask yourself is whether it will be worth it. But before we delve into this point, let’s look at the information we have, and what is anticipated from Flipkart and Amazon in the next week.

The final discounted prices are yet to be revealed as the sale event goes live on September 27. This is definitely something to keep an eye on if you’re in the market for a new smartphone and are keen to upgrade your current iPhone.
Spin to Win an iPhone 15 during Amazon’s Great Indian Festival 2024
While Big Billion Days by Flipkart starts on 23rd September, Amazon will host its Great Indian Festival Sale on September 27. However, Amazon Prime members will have 24-hour early access and can access the sales event from September 26th itself. The Great Indian Festival is anticipated to be one of the biggest mega-sale events of the year, where users can purchase products from diverse categories, that includes fashion, laptops, smartphones, washing machines, and so much more, at massively discounted rates.
Exciting news for iPhone lovers! Amazon will be offering its users a chance to win an Apple iPhone 15 for free. How you ask? If you’re familiar with Amazon already, you may have seen or even played the “Spin and Win” games they have on their e-commerce store.

iPhone 15 Series: To Buy or Not to Buy? That’s the Question!
The iPhone 16 series may be a year old gen now, and the newly launched iPhone 16 seems to have significant upgrades over iPhone 15. However, we believe that with the price drops during these festive sales, the iPhone 15 models are definitely worth a punt. They are eligible for iOS 18, and all the customization the new operating system brings with it. While the iPhone 16 is powered by an A18 chip, the A16 and A17 bionic chips are still quite powerful. The Pro models of the iPhone 15 should also get all the software updates as the iPhone 16. The Apple Intelligence capability also features in the 15 Pro models.
To conclude, the iPhone 15 series phones are still quite relevant and would be a great buy for you during the annual sales festivals on Amazon and Flipkart.
