This brings the effective price even lower, making the offer more attractive for those planning to purchase the new iPhone.
This brings the effective price to below ₹50,000, giving a total discount of around ₹11,000 from the launch price.On Amazon, the phone is currently listed at ₹51,999. There isn’t a flat discount, but buyers can get up to ₹1,559 cashback when paying with an Amazon Pay ICICI Bank card.

The screen is toughened with Ceramic Shield for better durability. Under the hood, it runs on the powerful A18 chipset, built on a 3nm process, paired with a 16 core Neural Engine for faster performance and smarter AI tasks. The device is designed to give smoother speed, improved efficiency, and reliable protection.

On the front, there is a 12MP selfie camera with autofocus, also capable of 4K 60fps video recording.
Should You Buy It?
