Apple iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max come to Indian stores, Blinkit, Amazon, Flipkart

Apple iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are now generally available for purchase, with stock quickly running out on Flipkart

Apple’s newest line-up of iPhones has come to stores as well as e-commerce platforms Amazon and Flipkart in India, along with the other accessories such as the upgraded AirPods and smartwatches announced by the iPhone-maker earlier this month.

Blinkit and BB Now will be rapidly delivering the ordered products to their customers, reported the ANI outlet, which also captured pictures of long lines of Apple fans outside the company’s official store in Delhi’s Saket, as well as the flagship store in BKC in Mumbai.

“We are partnering with Unicorn Infosolutions (the largest Apple Premium Partner in India) for the third year in a row to make the latest iPhone available. Customers in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, and Lucknow can get an iPhone 16 delivered within minutes. While Blinkit will handle the delivery, Unicorn provides discounts on select cards and offers EMI options, too,” said Albinder Dhindsa, founder and CEO of Blinkit, in a press note.

The Apple iPhone 16 line-up this time is special for many tech users because it features the company’s package of generative AI tools and tech that it calls ‘Apple Intelligence,’ as well as ChatGPT integration. However, they are not all available at launch.

Tips for buying Apple iPhones and other accessories online

When buying high-value items such as smartphones or other expensive electronics, take a video of yourself unboxing the device so that you have proof in case of any defects or damage

Under no circumstances should you let the delivery person take back your device after you have given them the OTP for the product

Try to stack bank offers, credit/debit card offers, coupons, and exchange offers so that you can lower the price of the product, but do so in a financially responsible way

Research the terms of the EMI plan you are opting for, before committing to it, so that it does not negatively impact your savings or other ongoing transactions

Some third-party sellers may try to trick users by featuring expensive devices and gadgets when they are actually only selling low-value accessories such as cases, screen coverings, etc. Do your research before adding products to your cart
