The iPhone 16E is a great option for someone to enter the ecosystem of Apple at a relatively affordable price. Launched at an initial price of Rs 59,900, the iPhone 16E is still quite new – about five months old. Despite this, we have already seen some best deals on the iPhone friendly to Apple’s most budget. But the current proposal is probably the best yet. If you take into account the listed price, running bank offers and exchange discounts, the iPhone 16E can be effectively purchased as Rs 35,725. It works like this.

IPhone 16E is available for about Rs 35,000 on Amazon

To get the best deal, head for Amazon. The phone is currently available with a flat discount of Rs 6,300, which brings the price of the 128GB version below Rs 53,600. At the top of it, select bank card – using SBI or ICICI Credit Card (except Amazon Pay) – you get an additional discount of Rs 4,000, making the effective price to Rs 49,600.

Amazon is also offering an exchange bonus of up to Rs 49,100 on your old smartphone. So if you want to upgrade from your current device, now the right time can be.

For example, exchanging an old iPhone 11 provides an additional discount of Rs 13,875. This means that iPhone 16E can be yours for just Rs 35,725. Even trading in an iPhone SE 3 gives you a reduction of Rs 12,100, causing the final price to Rs 37,500 – a great deal for a device that was launched only a few months ago.

Of course, the final exchange value depends on the status and model of your phone. To check the trade-in value, go to Amazon, select your favorite iPhone 16E model, and enter the details of your old phone. If your device qualifies for high exchange rate, you can make a very good deal on Apple’s latest admission-level iPhone.

But, should you buy it?

Even without exchange offer, using bank discounts alone gives you the iPhone 16E for Rs 49,600. It makes a sensible option for anyone to buy iPhone for less than Rs 50,000. Yes, by spending a little more, you will get the iPhone 16 regularly, which is technically better – but if you are on a strict budget, 16E gives you excellent value.

Keep in mind that the iPhone 16E leaves some features-there is no Magsef support and there is no ultra-wide-angle camera. But in turn, you get a bright OLED display, action button, apple’s custom C1 modem, high-end A18 chip, 8GB RAM and Apple Intelligence Support. For the price, it saves quite a bit.

To repetitive, iPhone 16E launched globally on 19 February this year. Pre-orders started on 21 February, open sales began from 28 February.
