iPhone 15 Plus Sees Discount in India Ahead of iPhone 16 Launch

In a surprise move, the iPhone 15 Plus has seen a significant price drop in India, ahead of the upcoming launch of the iPhone 16 series. The A16 Bionic chipset-backed smartphone is now available on Flipkart at a discounted price of Rs. 75,999 for the base 128GB option, which is Rs. 13,601 lower than its launch price.

The discounted price is not limited to the base variant, as the higher 256GB and 512GB options are also available on Flipkart at discounted rates of Rs. 85,999 and Rs. 1,05,999, respectively. These variants are listed on the official Apple website at Rs. 99,600 and Rs. 1,19,600, respectively.

Additionally, customers can avail of an exchange offer to get the handset at an even lower effective price. Furthermore, customers using HSBC, Federal Bank Credit Card EMI, Bank of Baroda BOBCARD, or UPI transactions can get an additional discount of Rs. 1,500 and Rs. 1,000, respectively.

The iPhone 15 Plus was launched in September 2023 alongside the other iPhone 15 series handsets, which included the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The smartphone sports a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, powered by an A16 Bionic chipset, and features a dual rear camera unit with a 48-megapixel sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide shooter.

The price drop is likely a strategic move by Apple to clear out inventory ahead of the iPhone 16 launch, which is set to take place on September 9. The company typically lowers the prices of its older models when new devices are released, making way for the latest technology.

For those looking to purchase the iPhone 15 Plus, this is an opportunity to get a high-end smartphone at a discounted price. However, it remains to be seen how long this discount will last, as the iPhone 16 series is expected to arrive soon.
