Whether you have been waiting to pick up an Apple device or not, all is said and done if you have your eyes itching for some change. This was a surprise mid-January surprise when they announced a massive price cut for the iPhone 15, leading to it taking a level of price below that of its competition. Daring to step up sales tactics, an offline-cum-online retailer has snapped up a share of the airtime as retail giants of India, Amazon and Flipkart, prepare for their Republic Day runs with a discounts of ₹30,885 total.
The Deal Breakdown How to Get the Discount
The iPhone 15 was first introduced in India and sold for ₹79,900 at the start. Vijay Sales’ recent offer is to shave off the effective price to ₹49,015. Here is how the math works:
- Direct Retail Reduction at the Brand: Vijay Sales has lowered the listing price of 128GB base variant from ₹79,900 to ₹52,990.
- Bank offer: Buyers may receive up to ₹3,975 instant discount at 7.5% via American Express Credit Card.
- Total Savings: Adding up the ₹26,910 flat discount and ₹3,975 bank cashback leads to a total of ₹30,885 saved.
| Component | Price Summary |
|---|---|
| Original Launch Price | ₹79,900 |
| Vijay Sales Listed Price | ₹52,990 |
| Bank Offer (Amex Card) | - ₹3,975 |
| Final Effective Price | ₹49,015 |
Where to Buy?
This particular discount is limited in both Vijay Sales (through its website) and its physical retail stores. Croma and Reliance Digital are currently providing discounts at ₹54,000–₹56,000 but combining the markdown and Amex bank offers makes the Vijay Sales deal the most lucrative in the market at present.
Is the iPhone 15 Worth It in 2026?
Despite the iPhone 16 and the currently-upcoming iPhone 17 being in the market, the iPhone 15 is a powerhouse for the regular shopper:
- Dynamic Island: Offers the latest, pill-shaped notch to offer interactive notifications.
- USB-C Charging: No more custom Lightning cables for you; it gets used to a Type-C universal port.
- 48MP Camera: This leap comes through in a big improvement compared to 14's with terrific detail and control of portrait.
- A16 Bionic Chip: Also faster than the majority of mid-range Android flagships, making for a better design than anything else from an iPhone for decades to come.
