Big price drop under Rs 50,000
The iPhone 15 is now available for around Rs 49,999 on Amazon, making it the most affordable recent iPhone in India. Considering it launched above Rs 79,000 just last year, this is a major discount. For those wanting the iPhone experience without crossing Rs 50,000, this deal is genuinely tempting.

Premium performance and camera
Even at its discounted price, the iPhone 15 packs flagship-grade power with Apple’s A16 Bionic chip — the same processor used in the iPhone 14 Pro. It also features a 48MP main camera, USB-C port, Dynamic Island display, and years of iOS updates, making it a strong performer for everyday use.

Newer iPhones offer better value now
While the iPhone 15 is cheaper, the iPhone 16 series is already seeing price cuts and offers upgraded features like brighter displays, better battery efficiency, and improved chipsets. With the iPhone 17 lineup out, it’s smarter to spend slightly more for newer hardware that will stay relevant longer.

Misses out on Apple Intelligence features
Apple’s latest AI-based system, Apple Intelligence, will not be supported on the iPhone 15 due to its older A16 chip. Future iPhones with the A17 Pro or newer will get exclusive generative AI tools and smarter Siri capabilities — features that make the iPhone 15 feel slightly dated despite the discount.

Shorter future-proofing window
Buying the iPhone 15 in late 2025 means you’re already a generation or two behind. Although Apple offers years of updates, the iPhone 16 or 17 will last longer in terms of performance, resale value, and software compatibility. If you plan to keep your phone for years, this matters more than price.
