Flipkart Big Billion Days 2024 Sale: Flipkart has already announced some great discounts on smartphones, laptops and other categories. The company has also introduced a variety of new promotional banners to lure more customers. One of them which gained a lot of attention was the iPhone 13 at Rs 11 at 11 PM.
As advertised on the e-commerce platform's banner, the smartphone was said to be priced at Rs 11. In terms of details, the Flipkart limited-hour deals for the Big Billion Days sale, which began on September 22, offered the iPhone 13 for Rs 11 at 11 PM IST. It was obvious that many users were drawn to the page's deals and were eager to purchase the device.

As promised, the iPhone 13 deal went live but the ‘buy now’ button was not clickable and later replaced out of stock, as claimed by social media users. The social media users also flagged an error that kept on popping up on almost every device.
The social media platforms, including X, saw a lot of opinions and trolls about Flipkart, claiming that it is all a marketing gimmick and a scam to get more customers. On the other hand, very few of them shared screenshots indicating that they received the deal and were able to make the purchase. However, it remains to be seen whether these orders will be delivered or cancelled due to a 'technical glitch' or for other reasons.
Flipkart offers Apple iphone 13 at Price Rs 11 only. Products went out of stock and showing coming soon.

Flipkart has previously promoted such deals, which have quickly sold out. Previously, the e-commerce platform faced criticism for cancelling Moto G85 orders that were offered at a 99 per cent discount.
