Comparing iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Prices During Amazon and Flipkart Sales: Which Should You Buy?

With Flipkart’s Big Billion and Amazon’s Great Indian Festival sale starting soon, many are wondering whether to buy discounted phones, especially iPhones. While the prices are sure to be quite attractive – as both Flipkart and Amazon have revealed full and partial prices, it’s important to get the smartphone shopping right as buying an older iPhone may not make sense for everyone.

Here, we’ll tell you which iPhone models might be ideal to buy this holiday season based on your needs and how to get the best possible prices.

iPhone 13 – Rs 39,999 on Amazon

Amazon has revealed that the iPhone 13 would effectively cost Rs 39,999 after the SBI bank offer and an additional trade-in bonus of Rs 3,500. The contract price without any card or exchange offers is Rs 45,999. We believe that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 – apart from the cameras – offer very little difference.

If you can buy the iPhone 13 for around Rs 40,000, it can definitely turn out to be a good deal, but when you approach Rs 45,000, we suggest you try to buy the iPhone 14, like paying just a little extra. you might get an extra year of support, and maybe enjoy the better cinematic mode that the iPhone 14 offers unlike the iPhone 13.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus – Around Rs 50,000/60,000 on Flipkart

While Flipkart has not officially revealed the prices of the iPhone 14 models, it has given people a rough idea of what to expect when the devices go on sale. The price of the iPhone 14 is expected to be around 50,000 rubles, while the iPhone 14 Plus is expected to be around 60,000 rubles. It’s more or less expected that these prices will be honored after the card offers, but while you can get the iPhone 14 for under Rs 55,000, it should be a good value.

However, the same cannot be said for the iPhone 14 Plus; we recommend buying it only if you want a bigger screen. If the price goes above Rs 65,000, it would be better to wait or add more money to get the new iPhone 15 instead, as it would be better value for money with its new features like USB-C and Dynamic Island.

iPhone 12 – Rs 32,999 on Flipkart

Launched in 2020, the iPhone 12 is a three-year-old phone at this point, and while it’s still going strong thanks to the 5G-capable A14 Bionic chipset, the battery life you’d expect from the iPhone 12 isn’t and isn’t going to be great. Also, the phone, which is three years old at this point, has reached roughly 60% of its useful life when it comes to receiving software support (major iOS updates) from Apple.

As for the deal, the price is Rs 38,999 without offers, and with card discounts and exchange bonuses, you can get it for Rs 32,999. We can’t currently suggest the iPhone 12 at Rs 38,999, but Rs 32,999 can be considered if you want to experience iOS on a budget. And yes, this will definitely give you a better experience than the iPhone SE 3 which doesn’t come with FaceID.

Conclusion: Go for iPhone 14 if budget is not an issue; Otherwise, buy iPhone 13 with offers

Overall, we think the base model iPhone 14 with 128GB storage would represent the best value for money during the upcoming sales, and if you can get one for around Rs 50,000, it could be a solid phone for years to come. That said, only consider buying an iPhone 12 if you’re on a tight budget and can take advantage of all the card and trade-in offers. The iPhone 13 is also a good option, but unless you are using card offers, it would be best to go with the iPhone 14 because of the excellent camera performance.
