iPhone 16 Gets a Big Price Cut: The iPhone 16 launched in 2024 with several meaningful upgrades over its predecessor, making it a strong all-round performer. If you’ve been planning to buy one, now is a great time—the phone is available at a big discount during Flipkart’s ongoing Buy Buy 2025 sale.
iPhone 16 Price Drop on Flipkart
During the sale, the iPhone 16 is listed at Rs 55,999, inclusive of all offers. This brings the device into a much more attractive price bracket for buyers who want a premium iPhone without spending six figures.
At India Today Tech, the iPhone 16 has been extensively tested, and it performed well in almost all scenarios. Here’s a quick look at what the phone gets right—and where it falls short.
What We Liked About the iPhone 16
1. Flagship-Level Performance
Powered by Apple’s A18 chipset, the iPhone 16 delivers excellent performance. Whether you’re browsing, multitasking, or gaming, the device handles everything with ease.
During testing, games like Call of Duty Mobile and BGMI ran smoothly for long sessions—without the phone heating up noticeably. Even in 2025, the iPhone 16 competes confidently with the latest Android flagships.
2. Impressive Battery Life
Apple has steadily improved battery performance over the years, and the iPhone 16 continues that trend.
With its 3,561mAh battery, the phone easily lasts a full day and sometimes more, even with gaming thrown into the mix.
You get USB-C support, but the charging speed is limited to 25W, which feels slow considering what modern Android phones offer. On the plus side, you do get MagSafe support.
3. Reliable Camera Performance
iPhones are known for consistent camera quality, and the iPhone 16 is no exception.
You get:
- 48MP main camera
- 12MP ultrawide camera
- 12MP selfie camera
Photos are sharp, colours are natural, and the device performs especially well for social media content. The only drawback is the absence of a telephoto lens, which limits zoom photography.
What We Didn’t Like
1. Still Stuck at a 60Hz Display
This is probably the biggest drawback.
It’s 2025, and even budget Android phones now offer 120Hz refresh rates—some even go up to 165Hz. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 is still stuck at 60Hz, which feels outdated for a premium device.
Apple finally introduced ProMotion (120Hz) for the base model with the iPhone 17, but the iPhone 16 misses out.
That said, the actual display quality is good. The 6.1-inch OLED panel offers vivid, accurate colours and solid brightness.
Should You Buy the iPhone 16 in 2025?
With a price of Rs 55,999, the iPhone 16 is still a solid pick—especially if you want:
- Powerful performance
- Great cameras
- Long battery life
- A premium iPhone experience
The only major compromise is the 60Hz refresh rate, which might bother users who are used to smoother displays.
If that’s not a dealbreaker, this discount makes the iPhone 16 a strong value-for-money option in Apple’s lineup.
