The Flipkart Big Diwali Sale is currently live and it will end on October 16 and as part of its Diwali sale, the e-commerce platform is offering iPhone 11 for roughly Rs 17,000. Please note that the effective price of around Rs 17,000 from the currently listed price of Rs 35,990 of the Apple iPhone 11 (64GB variant) comes down after applying bank offers, exchange benefits and other discounts. 


The discounts and bank offers applicable on the iPhone 11 on Flipkart during Big Diwali Sale includes a 10 per cent discount for SBI and Kotak card holders which cuts the price to Rs 32,740 in case of a non-EMI transaction and to Rs 32,240 if it is an EMI transaction. This price is applicable for buyers who are not opting for the exchange of their old smartphone.


Under the Flipkart Big Diwali Sale 2022, the e-commerce major is also giving an exchange discount of up to Rs 16,900 for buyers of iPhone 11. However, the exchange discount depends on the condition and model of the buyer's old device. Notably, if a buyer is eligible for the maximum exchange price of Rs 16,900 (depending on their smartphone), then it effectively brings down the price of the Apple iPhone 11 to Rs 17,090.


It should be noted that e-commerce giants Amazon India and Flipkart try to cash in on festive sales every year. Flipkart was recently offering last year's iPhone 13 for as low as Rs 50,000 under Flipkart Big Billion Days 2022, which meant good news for thousands of buyers, but instead, it left customers fuming as their orders got cancelled.


However, a Flipkart spokesperson told ABP Live that 70 per cent of its iPhone deliveries were successful.


E-commerce major Flipkart has responded to the backlash and said that 70 per cent of its deliveries were successful. "Flipkart is a customer-first e-commerce marketplace and always ensures that customers' interests are protected. We understand that close to 70 per cent of all iPhone orders placed across cities including Guntur, Gorakhpur, and Siliguri have been successfully delivered by the sellers," a Flipkart spokesperson told ABP Live in a statement.
