iPhone 16 Pro at ₹69,999 – Flipkart Big Billion Days 2025
Grab the iPhone 16 Pro at ₹69,999 during Flipkart Big Billion Days 2025! Biggest price cut yet with bank & exchange offers. Limited-time deal.
On Big Billion Days sale in India commencing 23 September 2025, Flipkart will offer a theatrical price cut on the iPhone 16 Pro, reducing its price to Rs 69,999, a reduction of more than Rs 42,000 against its original retail price of Rs 1,19,999 in 2024.
This is the largest discount of the iPhone 16 Pro and it is only a few weeks after the launch of the iPhone 17 series by Apple all over the world. Bank offers, exchange bonuses, and early-access deals may be able to make the price even lower, and it would make this one of the most discussed smartphone deals during the festive shopping season in India.
Context
In September 2024, Apple introduced the iPhone 16 series and made the iPhone 16 Pro a high-end flagship product. The initial selling cost of the 128 GB model of Rs 1,19,999 was a sign of the high end pricing strategy that Apple has maintained in India.
The price policy of Apple in India has been questioned over the years since it has to pay high duties of importation, GST, and currency changes. Indian customers often pay high prices (that is, more than their U.S. or European counterparts) because over 20-22 percent of the retail price is often taxed. Consequently, the sales days like the Flipkart Big Billion Days and Amazon Great Indian festival have emerged as the most frequently used doors to attract the Indians to purchase iPhones at a lower cost.
The launch of iPhone 17 series earlier this month preconditioned the price reduction of older iPhones of the 16 series. Retailers and distribution partners of Apple are eager to reduce the existing 2024 stock and find buyers in the festive season, which has become a trend in the hyper-competitive Indian e-commerce market.
Latest Developments
After tax price disclosed: iPhone 16 Pro (128 GB) will be sold at Rs 74,900 before the bank offers are applied. As more discounts are added the effective price may reduces to Rs 69,999.
Bank offers: customers of ICICI, Axis, and Kotak Mahindra cards are likely to get additional instant discounts ranging between Rs 3,000 and Rs 5,000.
Exchange benefits: The customers who trade in older models such as the iPhone 14 Pro or Galaxy S23 Ultra can save an additional Rs 10, 000- Rs 20, 000.
Early access: Members of Flipkart Plus and Black have a 24-hour early access to deals with a Rs 5,000 pre-booking pass.

Reactions
The iPhone 16 Pro will be priced at Rs 69,999 as part of our Big Billion Days deal and has bank deals and exchange deals to make it available to a larger customer base, a spokesperson of Flipkart affirmed.
According to analysts, Apple and its partners are clearing inventory strategically. Apple has a playbook across the world. When a new iPhones is being sold in the market, the older iPhones are discounted furiously in the new markets such as India, according to Rahul Sharma, the co-founder of TechInsights.
Consumers are enthusiastic. Social media talk reveals that there are a lot of first-time iPhone purchasers who are considering upgrading this sale. One of the shoppers in Mumbai posted on X: I have been waiting a year plus to get the iPhone 16 Pro. Finally Rs 69,999 is within my reach!"
Impact
Why the Price Drop Matters?The decline also alters the perception of the Indian buyers of the Apple devices in the value of money. The critics have been saying for years that iPhones had had little ROI in India as compared to Androids. However, below Rs 70,000, the iPhone 16 Pro is finally a medium-price product: high quality but affordable.
Apple's India Market Push
Reduced costs of entry due to seasonal deals also assist Apple in increasing the number of active users. Apple also enjoys recurring revenues in India with the increasing iPhone penetration in India through the sale of iCloud storage, Apple Music, Apple TV+ and purchases of apps.
It is worth noting that Apple is also increasing the local production as a part of the make in India project. Such models as iPhone 16 and SE versions are already being prepared in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, which means the lack of reliance on imports and, in the long-term, can allow them to offer more affordable prices. Consumer Behavior Shift
Indian e-commerce now takes the form of festive season sales. Consumers willingly postpone high-ticket purchases to September-October, on the hope of discounts. By 2024, the total sales made by Flipkart and Amazon were more than $9 billion (Approx. Rs 79,000 crore) during festival seasons, of which smartphones constituted a third of the sales.
The iPhone 16 Pro offer of Apple is going to be the headline and buzz of the social media this year, and it will strengthen the idea that big brands have turned to the festival calendar in India as a sales driver.
Comparison With Other Models.
iPhone 15 Pro: Sells at Rs 65,000 on deal. Paying an extra Rs 5,000, customers have the opportunity to upgrade to the most up-to-date-gen titanium construction, A18 Pro chip, and enhanced camera system of the iPhone 16 Pro.
iPhone 17 Series: The new iPhone 17 Pro will have a starting price of Rs 1,29,900 which is approximately Rs 60,000 higher than the iPhone 16 Pro with a discounted price. To consumers who do not want to spend above Rs 1 lakh, the previous year Pro will be the more prudent choice.
Android Competitors: Phones such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra (Rs 95,000) or OnePlus 13 Pro (Rs 79,000) have a higher price at the point of release. The iPhone 16 Pro at Rs 69,999 should beat them and yet provide the bonus of the Apple ecosystem, where it takes longer to update, is more smooth, and can sell.
Other iPhones in the family: The iPhone 16 (not Pro) will experience slight discounts and yet it will still be priced above Rs 55,000. Photographers and the performance crowd will find the Pro at Rs 69,999 to have superior values as compared to the lower 16.

Long Buying Guide: Who Buys?
Upgrades of the older iPhones: iPhone 12 or 13 Pro users will still realise significant improvements in display brightness, battery efficiency, and the new 48 MP camera system.
Photography lovers: iPhones 16 Pro has a 48 MP main camera, ProRAW, and telephoto zoom--and that is typically the prerogative of more expensive flagships.
Power users/ gamers: The A18 Pro chip and ProMotion display make the device easy to use in terms of heavy apps, gaming, and multitasking.
Cost-sensitive premium customers: When the question is whether to buy high-end Androids or Apple, this offer will make the iPhone 16 Pro one of the strongest "premium under 70K" phone ads in 2025.
According to market analysts, this pricing strategy would have ripple effects. Apple can set the iPhone 16 Pro in the below Rs 70,000 bracket, and this is an implicit signal to Android competitors that they need to reconsider their pricing during the festive season. Samsung and OnePlus will have to implement aggressive cashback and exchange strategies in order to remain competitive.
Psychological pricing is also pointed out by retail experts - Rs 69,999 would be much lower than Rs 70,000 although the difference is Rs 1. This under 70K tag makes the iPhone 16 Pro much more affordable to the consumers of India.
A decrease in the price of the iPhone 16 Pro to Rs 69,999 is a historic score in the pricing approach of Apple in India. Stacked offers would mean that a few customers will actually pay slightly less than Rs 60,000-62,000 and it will become one of the hottest deals of the festive season of 2025.
Still, there might be shortages quite fast - especially with the natural 128 GB which is the most popular. It is recommended that shoppers should pre-book where possible and move at a high pace when the sale becomes live on 23 September 2025.
