iPhone 15 Price Drops to Lowest Ever in India: iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 15; What Should You Choose?

Apple's iPhone 15 price has just seen its biggest drop yet in India, which is giving tech enthusiasts and Apple fans a major reason to rejoice. If you are one of those who have been waiting for the right moment to buy the iPhone 15, this could be your golden opportunity.

iPhone 15 Now Available at Rs. 65,999.

As of July 2025, the iPhone 15 128GB variant is now available at just Rs. 65,999 on Flipkart, down from its launch price of Rs. 79,900, a discount of nearly Rs. 14,000. This is the lowest price recorded since the device's launch in September 2023. Additional bank offers can further sweeten the deal by another Rs. 1,000-Rs. 2,000 for eligible credit card users.

Why Is the iPhone 15 Cheaper Now?

The major drop in the iPhone 15 price is mainly because Apple is about to launch its latest edition, the iPhone 17, which is expected later this year, most probably in September 2025. Retailers often reduce prices on current-generation iPhones to clear inventory before new models hit the shelves. Moreover, festive sales are around the corner; the timing is perfect for those who are looking for a premium smartphone experience at a better price.

Top Features of iPhone 15 That Still Make It Worth Buying

Despite being almost a year old, the iPhone 15 is currently one of the most powerful smartphones on the market. It features the A16 Bionic chip (previously seen in the iPhone 14 Pro), a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, a 48MP primary camera with Photonic Engine, Dynamic Island UI, and improved battery life. It also comes with USB Type-C support, a first for non-Pro iPhones.

Compared to the iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 offers a major upgrade in performance, design, and charging. It also comes with features like the Dynamic Island and USB-C charging port and brings more premium elements at a now more affordable price point. So people are currently holding older models like the iPhone 11 or 12; this drop in the iPhone 15 price can be a good opportunity for an upgrade.

Should You Wait for iPhone 17 or Buy iPhone 15 Now?

Choosing between the iPhone 15 and waiting for the iPhone 17 in 2025 depends on your priorities and budget. The iPhone 15 is currently one of the best flagship options under Rs. 70,000, offering great value for money. It also has the powerful A16 chip, an excellent display, and great cameras, which are still top-tier in 2025.

Having said that, the iPhone 17 will debut Apple Intelligence integration and is expected to have the new A18 (or A18 Pro) chip and improved thermals. The iPhone 16 will also offer better gaming and multitasking performance.

So all in all, if you don't absolutely need the latest features of the upcoming iPhone 16, this deal on the iPhone 15 is excellent value for money.
