I already have an upper mid-range Android smartphone that takes care of all my needs, but the latest Apple iPhone 16 has me seriously considering making the switch to iOS. Thanks to the Flipkart Freedom Sale 2025, I might just give in.
Normally, the iPhone 16 128 GB model goes for Rs 68,999. However, it is currently going for Rs 61,999, which is an 11% discount, or roughly Rs 7,000 off. Interested buyers can get the discount using an ICICI Bank credit card on Flipkart.
The iPhone 16 is the perfect entry-level Apple smartphone that you can get without breaking your bank. It features Apple's A18 Bionic silicon, which is a capable processor and brings a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU and 16-core NPU to the mix. The SoC is perfect for day-to-day tasks and can handle most of the workload that you throw at it.
At the front, you are greeted with a compact 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that makes it a beautiful panel to look at. It is the ideal compact entertainment powerhouse that you can carry around in your pocket.
Beyond performance and display, all the little things that you expect out of an Apple smartphone are taken care of. For instance, there is IP68 water and dust resistance, along with a 48 MP main camera cum a 12 MP 2x telephoto sensor. It is paired with a 12 MP ultra-wide lens. For selfies, there is a 12 MP front-facing shooter. Apart from this, for those videography enthusiasts, there is support for 4K Dolby Vision @ 60 FPS.
All-in-all, if you ask me, the iPhone 16 hits the sweet spot of power, display, cameras and portability, making it the ideal choice for someone looking to enter the Apple ecosystem, especially after this price cut.
