iPhone 15 Gets Massive Price Cut Of Rs 14,000: Smart Buy Or Should You Wait For iPhone 17?
The markdown is largely timed with the impending arrival of Apple’s next flagship, the iPhone 17, which is expected to launch in September 2025.
Apple’s iPhone 15 has received its biggest price cut yet, making it more accessible than ever. The price drop comes just ahead of the expected launch of the iPhone 17, sparking a key question for buyers: Is this the right time to upgrade?
iPhone 15 Now at Its Lowest Price Ever
As of July 2025, the iPhone 15 (128GB) is selling for just Rs 65,999 on Flipkart, down from its original launch price of Rs 79,900. That’s a discount of nearly Rs 14,000. The deal gets even better with select bank offers, which can reduce the final cost by an additional Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000.
This is the steepest price dip the iPhone 15 has seen since its debut in September 2023, making it a compelling option for those who’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade.
Why the Sudden Price Drop?
The markdown is largely timed with the impending arrival of Apple’s next flagship, the iPhone 17, which is expected to launch in September 2025. Retailers often lower prices on existing models to clear stock ahead of new releases.
With the festive season also approaching in India, the timing works in favour of buyers looking to score a high-end iPhone at a reduced price.
What Makes the iPhone 15 Still Worth Buying?
Despite being nearly two years old, the iPhone 15 still packs a punch. It runs on Apple’s A16 Bionic chip, inherited from the iPhone 14 Pro, and sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display. Its 48MP main camera is enhanced by Apple’s Photonic Engine, and it features the Dynamic Island UI along with USB-C support , the first time Apple added it to a non-Pro model.
Compared to the iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 offers better performance, design upgrades, and a more modern charging experience. For users currently on older devices like the iPhone 11 or 12, this is a meaningful leap forward, especially at this discounted price point.
Wait for iPhone 17 or Buy Now?
If you’re deciding between grabbing the iPhone 15 at its current price or holding out for the iPhone 17, it comes down to what you value more: savings or cutting-edge features.
The iPhone 17 is expected to feature Apple Intelligence (the Cupertino giant's proprietary AI) across all models, alongside the new A18 (or A18 Pro) chip and enhanced thermal performance for smoother multitasking and gaming.
That said, the iPhone 15 remains one of the strongest flagship options available under Rs 70,000 right now.
In short, if you're looking for a premium iPhone experience without splurging on the very latest model, this might be your best chance yet.
