Apple iPhone 16e launched in India: This place offers biggest discount; check offers, and where to buy

Apple’s iPhone 16e is here. The latest and newest offering from the tech giant has been officially launched in India, marking a shift from the discontinued SE series.

iPhone 16e, which is designed to offer an experience closer to the flagship iPhone 16, brings notable upgrades but at a higher price than its SE predecessors. While Apple positions it as an “affordable” iPhone, the price may not feel budget-friendly to many.

The iPhone 16e starts at ₹59,900 for the 128GB variant, ₹69,900 for the 256GB model, and ₹89,900 for the 512GB version. It is now available for purchase on Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, and other major retailers.

Apple has launched it in just two colours—black and white, as of now.
