Apple iPhone 16 Price on Vijay Sales
The Apple iPhone 16 has now been listed on Vijay Sales at a price of Rs 66,900 but it even further sees a direct discount of Rs 13,000 from its launch price. Add to that a discount of up to Rs 4,000 on select bank credit cards and the effective price comes down to about Rs 62,900.
EMI options for those who wish to avoid paying upfront start at around Rs 2,927 per month. Please note, there may be processing fees or interest costs according to the bank and tenure selected.
The exchange programme also helps to lower the final price for customers. The actual exchange amount will vary based on the brand, model, and state of the old smartphone. As an optional purchase for buyers looking for extended protection, Vijay Sales is also selling AppleCare+ at some extra cost.
