iPhone 16 Pro price up by Rs 10,000 ahead of Flipkart sale, here’s how much it costs now

Just a day before Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale kicks off, the iPhone 16 Pro has suddenly become more expensive on the platform. The phone, which was recently listed at Rs 74,999, is now showing a price tag of nearly Rs 80,000. That’s a sharp Rs 10,000 jump in less than 48 hours.

The timing has left many buyers surprised, especially since Flipkart has been heavily promoting the iPhone 16 Pro with promises of deep discounts during the sale. The company had earlier claimed that the phone would be available for as low as Rs 69,999 once the event begins on September 23. But with this unexpected price change, shoppers are unsure whether the offer will actually hold.

Adding to the confusion, some colour variants of the iPhone 16 Pro are already marked as unavailable on the app. It’s unclear whether these models will be restocked in time for the sale or if the limited stock was snapped up by early buyers at the lower price.

Apple’s iPhones are usually among the hottest picks during festive season sales, with demand often outpacing supply. While price fluctuations before big sales aren’t entirely new, a sudden increase like this has left many questioning Flipkart’s strategy.
