The lower price could appeal to those who want an iPhone but have been put off by its regular cost. However, the deal comes with conditions, so it is worth knowing how the final figure is arrived at before making a purchase. Here's a quick look at the deal, what the phone offers and what to check before buying.

How the Price is Calculated
The Rs 71,999 price is not a flat reduction on the phone's cost. Instead, it is the result of combining all the offers that will be available during the sale, and this includes a bank discount. Put in percentage terms, buyers can save roughly 20 per cent compared with the listed price. The asterisk next to the sale price indicates that this figure includes all applicable offers.

Because several offers go into reaching this number, the actual saving can differ from one buyer to another. For instance, a shopper who is not eligible for the bank discount may not be able to get the phone for Rs 71,999 and could end up paying more.
What the iPhone 16 Offers
The iPhone 16 sports a 6.1-inch display and is powered by Apple's A18 chipset. Its rear houses a dual-camera system, and the phone also includes Apple's Camera Control button, which is designed for camera-related tasks.

Things to Check Before You Buy
It's worth remembering that Rs 71,999 is a promotional price built on sale offers, and not a lasting cut to the iPhone 16's cost. Shoppers should also keep in mind that the discount figures mentioned are effective savings, calculated after applying the available offers.
Before adding the phone to the cart, shoppers should read the terms attached to each offer and make sure they meet the requirements. This is the best way to know what the phone will really cost them.
If all the conditions are met, the iPhone 16 will effectively cost Rs 17,901 less than its Rs 89,900 listed price when the Amazon Great Indian Festival sale begins on October 8.
