Amazon will be selling the Apple iPhone X 64GB at Rs. 69,999 (MRP Rs. 91,900). That seems like a decent discount on last year's iPhone model. With a no-cost EMI option, you could grab the iPhone X at an effective price of Rs. 7,777 per month. Add to that the available exchange offer and bundled payment offers, you could end up saving even more. Amazon is also teasing 'never before offers' on the iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, and the iPhone 6, so this could be a good time to get one of the older iPhone models, if you've had your eye on one. All these deals also include Amazon's free one-time screen replacement offer during Great Indian Festival sale.
As we reported earlier, all OnePlus 6 variants will be available at a discounted price during the Great Indian Festival sale this year. The 6GB RAM, 64GB storage variant will be down to Rs. 29,999 (MRP Rs. 34,999). All variants will also be available with no-cost EMI options and exchange offers.
