iPhone prices in the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale have always been among the lowest prices of the year. However, the Flipkart Big Billion Days 2026 iPhone 16 price could be higher this year after Apple increased iPhone 17 and other iPhone prices by 20% to 25%. After comparing previous years’ BBD Sale price trends, current iPhone pricing and recent sale price drops, we can make a safe guess around the iPhone 16 price in BBD 2026. Read on to know more details.

On an average, Flipkart brings about 20% to 25% discount on an iPhone model, usually the predecessor of the newly launched iPhone. This year, iPhone 17 in Big Billion Days is going to be the main highlight. Apple iPhone 16 might be the second closest. Expect the Apple iPhone 16 price in Big Billion Days 2026 sale to be around ₹59,999 to ₹63,999. This is based on the current, newly hiked MRP of iPhone 16. If Flipkart has old stock of iPhone 16 with older MRP of ₹79,900 then the discount might be a little more higher. The lowest ever price of iPhone 16 so far has been ₹48,999 spotted in early access of last year’s BBD Sale.
Apple iPhone 16 price in Big Billion Days Sale 2026 is one of the most awaited deals this year. Especially after the recent price hike on iPhone 17, many shoppers are expecting that the iPhone 17 Big Billion Days 2026 price this year may not be as low as we expected.

Yes but don’t keep a lot of hopes and here’s why. Apple recently launched the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models and like almost every year, we’ve seen Flipkart bring the newer iPhone (in this case iPhone 17) as their main sale highlight while Amazon bets on the predecessor model (in this case the iPhone 16). In the past, we have seen Flipkart bring multiple price drops on the iPhone 17, be it during the GOAT Sale, the Freedom Sale, etc. Apple iPhone 16 on the other hand hasn’t seen as many price drops on Flipkart in recent times (not that Amazon has done it either). But the chance for iPhone 17 to be the biggest iPhone deal in BBD 2026 is higher compared to iPhone 16. Flipkart might still bet on the Pro models of the iPhone 16.
The exact final deal on iPhone 16 in Big Billion Days also depends heavily on whether Flipkart is clearing out their old inventory pricing units or newly adjusted MRP stock (after the recent price hike).
