Major Discounts on iPhones Across Retailers
Black Friday 2025 has emerged as a significant opportunity for consumers to purchase iPhones at reduced prices. Major retailers in various regions, including the U.S., U.K., and India, are offering substantial discounts on several models, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 16, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16e.
In the U.S., Apple is providing gift card promotions rather than direct discounts, with offers such as a $75 gift card with the purchase of an iPhone 16 and a $50 gift card for the iPhone 16e. Meanwhile, retailers like Amazon and Woot are offering refurbished models, such as the iPhone 15 for $449, which is a notable saving compared to new models.
In India, retailers like Croma, Amazon, and Flipkart are offering aggressive discounts. The iPhone 17, typically priced at Rs 82,900, can be purchased for as low as Rs 45,900 after applying cashback and exchange bonuses. The iPhone 16 is also seeing significant price drops, with effective prices falling below Rs 40,000 at various retailers.
Criticism & Opposition
While many consumers are taking advantage of these deals, some critics argue that the discounts on older models like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 16 do not provide sufficient value compared to newer options. The iPhone 14, for instance, remains priced similarly to the iPhone 16e, which offers better features and a more modern design. Critics suggest that consumers should focus on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16e for better cost-benefit ratios.
Official Statements & Responses
Retailers have emphasized the importance of Black Friday as a prime shopping event, with many updating their offers frequently to attract buyers. Apple has maintained its strategy of offering gift cards instead of direct discounts, which has been consistent over the years. Retailers like Croma and Amazon have highlighted their competitive pricing and exchange offers to entice customers.
