Looking to buy the iPhone 14? If you’re hoping to snag a great deal on Amazon, you might want to think twice before you hit that “buy” button. While the e-commerce giant has announced that it will be hosting a Great Summer Sale on May 4, where it will offer discounts on a variety of electronics, including the iPhone 14, it’s important to keep in mind that the deal might not be as good as it sounds.
According to Amazon, the best price for the iPhone 14 128GB will be around Rs 40,000, including bank offers, Amazon rewards, and exchange offers. That’s down from the MRP of Rs 79,900 at Apple Stores. While this might seem like an amazing deal, the reality is that it’s unlikely that customers will be able to snag the phone at this price.
An Amazon promotional image suggests a price cut of Rs 12,901 for the iPhone 14, which seems reasonable given that the phone often retails for less than its MRP on Amazon and Flipkart. However, Amazon is also claiming an exchange value of Rs 20,000, which might be reserved for iPhone 13 models without any scratches. It’s important to keep in mind that Android phones’ resale value is generally lower than that of Apple’s counterparts.
All of this brings the price down to Rs 39,293, which sounds like a fantastic deal. However, it’s important to note that this price is unlikely to be attainable, and customers may end up paying closer to Rs 63,000 with offers. It’s also worth keeping in mind that prices during sales can fluctuate, and stocks are often limited.
If you’re in a rush to buy the iPhone 14 and don’t want to wait for the Great Summer Sale, it’s currently available on Amazon for Rs 71,999, with the white color option available for Rs 74,999. However, it’s always a good idea to cross-check prices on Flipkart before making a purchase. The platform is currently selling the smartphone for Rs 69,999 (in Red), with an HDFC Bank offer worth Rs 4,000 available. Additionally, you can download web extensions such as Price Tracker to keep an eye on the price of any device or item on Flipkart and set notifications for when the price drops.
In March 2023, Flipkart showed that the iPhone 14’s price had dropped to Rs 63,999, so if you time your purchase correctly, you might be able to snag the phone for around Rs 59,000 or less. Other storage variants are also getting a price cut, so it’s always a good idea to do your research and shop around before making a purchase.
