Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series in September 2024, with the base variant of the standard iPhone 16 launching in India at a starting price of Rs. 79,900. Since then, the device has received multiple periodic discounts that have temporarily brought its price down. At present, buyers in India can purchase the iPhone 16 for as low as Rs. 65,990. This reduced price is being offered by a leading Apple reseller through a combination of instant discounts and cashback benefits. However, it's worth checking e-commerce websites for similar (or better) deals before making your next purchase.

Customers can also choose to buy the iPhone 16 on a no-cost EMI plan, with each monthly instalment being approximately Rs. 10,983.

The same reseller lists the 256GB and 512GB variants of the iPhone 16 at Rs. 79,900 and Rs. 99,900, respectively. According to the website's listings for these storage options, it doesn't appear that they are being offered with additional bank or cashback offers by the same reseller.
