Flipkart GOAT 2025 vs Amazon Prime Day: Where to Get the Best iPhone 16 Deal?

India’s e-commerce giants have gone head-to-head this July with their biggest mid-year sales—Flipkart’s GOAT 2025 Sale and Amazon’s Prime Day 2025. Among the top-billed deals is none other than the iPhone 16, Apple’s flagship released in September 2024. If you’ve been holding out for the right moment to upgrade, this might just be it.

Let’s break down the prices, specs, and extras across both platforms to help you make a smart buy.

iPhone 16 Launch Price vs Sale Offers

Apple launched the iPhone 16 at ₹79,900 for the base 128 GB variant in India. During Flipkart’s GOAT Sale, the price has been aggressively slashed to ₹59,999 for early-bird buyers (Flipkart Plus users had early access on July 11). As of Day 2, the listed price stands at ₹69,999, but additional savings are still possible with 5% cashback on select cards, no-cost EMI, and exchange offers. The sale runs until July 14.

On the other hand, Amazon Prime Day has listed the same variant at ₹72,900, with discounts available via bank cards and EMI offers. Though still competitive, it falls short of Flipkart’s lowest effective price.

iPhone 16: What You’re Getting

This isn’t just about discounts—it’s about flagship performance. The iPhone 16 sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, Ceramic Shield protection, and 2000 nits peak brightness. It’s powered by the cutting-edge A18 Bionic chip, promising seamless multitasking and elite-level gaming.

Camera buffs will love the 48 MP main sensor with second-gen sensor-shift OIS, a 12 MP ultra-wide, and a 12 MP TrueDepth selfie camera capable of stunning portraits, 4K video, and enhanced low-light shots thanks to Apple’s Photonic Engine.

Also included are iOS 18, 5G connectivity, dual SIM support, MagSafe wireless charging, and IP68-rated water and dust resistance. New Apple Intelligence features bring smarter Siri, photo editing, and message automation—baking AI deep into your daily usage.

For the Pro version, check out the iPhone 16 Pro Max deal on Amazon, which offers up to ₹17,000 off.

The Verdict: Flipkart Takes the Win (For Now)

If you’re eyeing the iPhone 16, Flipkart clearly has the upper hand in pricing—at least for now. With the base model briefly hitting ₹59,999 and still available at ₹69,999 with bank and EMI benefits, it beats Amazon’s ₹72,900 price tag for most users.

But don’t sleep on it—these prices are limited-time, and Flipkart’s early bird pricing might not return before the next big sale season.
