Apple iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max Launched!

What is the best way to purchase iphone 14 pro.

I tried Croma but it is failed to add to cart. Both Croma and Apple store were offering 6k on hdfc.

now apple store offers 7k discount. 

Is there any option like smartbuy or other option to get further reward/cashback

just wanted to ask about the price and posted that as example
I'll get the Pro Max 256

iPhone 14 Pro (Max) won't be discounted much in the next 2-3 months, the HDFC offer will have exclusivity for few months, like every year. So if you are after the Pros then don't bother to wait (Telling from years of iphone buying exp).

Max you might see the base iphone 14 variant come up in sale after 3 months.

Also this time around prices of iPhones have been raised in European countries also, For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max in the U.K. is £150 (₹14.5k) more expensive than the equivalent last year’s model. US versions doesn't have SIM tray, also they do have extra taxes on the MRP based on the US state you buy, so don't think that the pricing displayed is the final price.

So unless one can get the iPhone from China, take the Indian model, whenever you get it at discounted rate.

Iphone misconception that was true earlier years ago but not now

• Iphone are easy to use(they were comparing with symbian os)
• Iphone are advance ( they were comparing nokia old mobile)
• iphone are secure ( they made it by sandboxing entire phone, so no freedom full secure)
• iphone are fast( they were comparing old age mobile)
• iphone have big app store( play store beat in recent years)
• 
  

I am an 2 x iPod classic, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 8, iPad 9th gen, iPad Air 5th gen, 2 x Mac Mini M1, Macbook Pro, 3 x airpods, Apple Pencil Gen 1 and 2 user. I can give you an honest answer from my personal point of view.

Any justification based on longevity does not work (you spend 3x-4x or more upfront compared to nearest Mi, Realme, Moto, Oppo, Vivo devices), any argument regarding great software-hardware do not work because majority of apps that you use are third party apps, And, also the moment the new phones are out in September, your phone does psychologically feel old and no matter whether it is fast, it loses a lot of its charm. Also, Apple stifles use of any kind of pirated apps which can make a lot of difference in final user experience (although such apps are often illegal).

The reason you buy Apple hardware is because it is an aspirational product in a complete commoditized category of electronics. They employ artists extensively for hardware, OS design and every little OS integrated app offering, however mundane those apps are, it makes things look beautiful, artistic and pleasant to use. Try iMessage for example. It does wonders to your self-worth to know that Shahrukh Khan and Prime Minister Modi and Liz Truss and Biden and Putin and YOU use the same device. It feels wonderful to think, however incorrectly, that people in your office (especially at your same rank) who use iPhone belong to the same cabal and are like-minded and so on. iPhones have aspirational values and that is the selling point and that is the point.

I just created account to answer your question.
Using Iworld since 9+ year with three device mac air, iphone, ipad air. Not a limitless rich person. Same way using samsung s21, pixel 4a.

Reason for iphone purchase:

• If feels always day one mobile, same speed even after 6 years. Magical way the created this device
• you can easily feel premium difference when you hold iphone
• you always get new UI, always day one update. NO if no but. Simple and smooth process to upgrade iphone
• Android mobile focus on camera, hd, pixel ratio bla bla bal. But Iphone gives you best of basic call
  • call quality
  • mic quality
  • accurate gps location
  • never problem in listening call voice
  • SMS delivery
    
  • signal strength
  • and the feature which was necessary in earlier days of mobile at best

• Iphone check mate android in all fancy feature also. like camera. Video recording is winner in all mobile

Reason to avoid iphone

• if you are little bit like person who are free in life or college student, you always get irritated using iphone.reason. it des not gives you a lot tool to consume your time like:
  • no memory cleaner fancy thing
  • no truecaller thing ( it support now)
  • not millions of software that integrate deeper with iphone and change behaviour like android.
  • Not many launcher to test try waste time and enjoy life
  • you  can not change and enjoy: status changer, nav changer, many call recording, mand customize app
  • no root(jailbreak is boring).
  • so it all limits your young enthusisam to try test and enjoy phone

• Now why people buy iphone
• first and most it very boldly gives you basic feature without fuss calling facility. Many android mobile (one+ and many) have calling issue, signal strength issue
• it gives best in class camera that works always not but no if
• WHO BUY IPHONE
  
•  who dont want to consume mobile all day and do business/job or invest their time in productivity
• who dont want to do research/watch tech youtuber about mobile
• who want mobile which respect their time and work always and years.
• and for all these benefit these people sacrifice customizability, enjoybility, freedom to use, a computer like mobile which is available in ANDROID only, an extra type of  charger always. Some weired issue that occur sometime(battery deep drain issue, no butter smooth with google apps,)
  consider below scenario:
  1: open ticktok
  2: use next app
  now enjoy tiktok even without touching mobile (impossible in IPHONE)

sorry for bad english

Cannot offer any wisecrack on the launch, if you are rich and can afford iPhone 14 Pro Max with Caviar branded gold case and limited edition and so on, please go ahead and buy it by all means.

For those who cannot, the software features intelligently named as dynamic island should be available in Android soon as an app in a matter of weeks. I am sure a bunch of developers are working on it. 

One kidney is not enough now, need 2..  giving away 2 kidneys will take away my life.. we all have to sacrifice our lives for the growth of apple

Might still go for 14 if camera is a substantial improvement. Looking for the best camera phone under 80k, any suggestions? Pixel 7 is another launch I await, hope Google finally launch in India since leaked video surfaced from Bangladesh.

With euro and USD at par now, which place is the best to buy an iPhone from? US? Europe? UK? Dubai? Or India? Just curious.
