iPhone 16e Price Cut: Latest Apple Smartphone Now Available With Discount At Rs 56,790

Apple iPhone 16e was launched just weeks ago and it is already available with a massive discount on Amazon. This is a recent addition to the iPhone 16 series, which itself was launched in September 2024. The series consists of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Its birth however, is shrouded in controversy as it was expected to launch as an avatar of the iPhone SE series, which is a smaller and much more affordable iPhone. However, much to the fans' annoyance, it was launched at a much more expensive price point, making sure that the budget-conscious buyers looked elsewhere (Android) for a cheaper alternative. However, Amazon has made the iPhone 16e cheaper now.

The iPhone 16e was priced at a high ₹59,900. The smartphone thereby became the cheapest entry-level iPhone, with Apple having killed off the iPhone SE series, which was even cheaper. Considering that Google has launched its latest affordable smartphone, the Google Pixel 9a recently at a much more affordable level, the iPhone 16e is facing some rough weather. However, iPhone 16e sales have managed to surge despite everything. An IDC report revealed that iPhone 16e sales were 60% stronger than the iPhone SE 3 in the first three days after being made available.

So, what is this iPhone 16e price cut and is it worth looking at? The iPhone 16e discount on Amazon shows that the cost has dropped from Rs 59,900 to Rs 56,790, which translates to 5% price cut. This is for the iPhone 16e 128 GB storage model in black colour.

Significantly, a buyer can reduce this by a large amount if the iPhone 16e exchange offer is opted for during the purchase process. Buyers can get up to Rs 53,950 off. However, do note the fact that the actual amount that is ultimately offered will depend entirely on the fact that the phone is in good working order, and there are no scratches or damage. The exchange value will also depend on the brand and how old the model is.

For example, if you exchange an old iPhone 12 that has no damage, you may potentially get up to Rs 18,850 off.

Also, note the fact that Amazon will reject your old phone during pickup if it is not in working condition, or RAM/Storage/IMEI do not match etc.

You can also opt for some bank offers to reduce the price further. For instance, there is a flat Rs 4000 instant discount on Axis Bank Credit Card transactions.
