Apple’s latest launch of the iPhone 17e has triggered a significant price drop for its predecessor, the iPhone 16e, in India. According to India TV News, Digit, and The South India Times, the iPhone 16e is now retailing at ₹48,890 with bank offers, down from its original price of ₹59,900.
While Apple has removed the iPhone 16e from its official online store, the device remains available through third-party retailers such as Vijay Sales and Croma, where additional discounts and cashback offers further reduce the effective price. Some platforms are advertising benefits of up to ₹14,000, making the iPhone 16e a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers.
The price cut comes as Apple positions the iPhone 17e, priced at ₹64,900, as its new mid-tier offering. The 17e features the A19 chip, faster MagSafe wireless charging, and double the base storage compared to the 16e.
