iPhone 15 Now Available for Under ₹45,000 in India: Is Raksha Bandhan the Perfect Moment to Buy?
Raksha Bandhan is more than a festival—it’s a celebration of sibling bonds, memories, and thoughtful surprises. For 2025, tech gifting has a new champion: Apple’s iPhone 15—now available for as low as ₹44,900, making it one of the most attractively priced iPhones since launch.
Whether you’re buying for a sibling or yourself, these limited-time deals make the iPhone 15 a serious contender in the under-₹50K segment.

Understanding the ₹45,000 Price Tag: How Is It Possible?
Apple launched the iPhone 15 (128GB) at ₹79,900 in September 2023. As of mid-2025, pricing has dropped significantly on major platforms, especially when combined with exchange offers and bank card discounts.
Deal Breakdown:
| Offer Type | Platform | Final Price | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Price Drop | Amazon India | ₹59,300 | No conditions |
| Exchange + SBI Credit Card | Amazon | ₹44,900 | With iPhone 12 or newer exchange |
| iStore Rakhi Offer | India iStore | ₹44,900 | ₹5,000 store + ₹4,000 cashback + exchange |
| Best Possible Deal | Amazon or Apple Reseller | ₹38,200 | iPhone 12/13 in mint condition |
If you’re trading in an iPhone 12 or 13, your effective upgrade cost drops by ₹30,000+.

Why This Matters: Value vs. Timing
Historically, Apple doesn’t slash prices dramatically. What makes this deal exceptional?
- Pre-iPhone 16 Window: As iPhone 16 nears launch, retailers clear out iPhone 15 stock.
- Raksha Bandhan Demand Spike: Gift season brings aggressive pricing to drive sales.
- Exchange Ecosystem Maturity: India now has trade-in pipelines that offer real value for older iPhones.
- Bank-Backed Campaigns: Cashback and EMI options sweeten the pot—especially on SBI, HDFC, and ICICI platforms.
iPhone 15 Specs Recap (Still Flagship-Worthy)
- 6.1” Super Retina XDR display
- A16 Bionic chip — Same as iPhone 14 Pro
- 48MP Main Camera — Major leap over iPhone 14’s 12MP
- Dynamic Island — A Pro-only feature now in base models
- USB-C Port — Future-ready charging
- iOS 17 (Upgradable to iOS 19+)
You’re not buying a “budget iPhone.” You’re getting Apple’s 2023 flagship minus the Pro features, at nearly half the launch price.

Real Buyer Scenarios: Case Studies
Gifting a Younger Sibling (Mumbai)
Rohan traded in his sister’s iPhone 11 for ₹17,000, got ₹4,000 HDFC cashback, and bought the iPhone 15 at ₹44,900. Total spend: ₹23,900.

First-Time iPhone Buyer (Bengaluru)
Ashish, a Flipkart Plus user, got a no-exchange deal at ₹55,000 during a limited flash drop. He used Amazon Pay cashback credits to lower the price further.
Buyer Psychology: Why It Feels Worth It
iPhone is not just a device—it’s an aspirational brand in India. With many users holding off due to price, these Raksha Bandhan offers eliminate the price barrier while adding emotional appeal.
- Gift factor: Unlike generic phones, iPhones carry social status and brand weight.
- Longevity: You get at least 4 years of OS updates, future-proofing your gift.
- User Delight: FaceTime, iMessage, AirDrop — all exclusive iOS perks become instantly accessible.

Shopping Platforms Comparison
| Platform | Exchange Available? | Bank Offers | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | ✅ Yes (Up to ₹29,000) | SBI, HDFC, ICICI | 2-day |
| Flipkart | ✅ Limited trade-in | HDFC, Flipkart Axis | 3-day |
| Apple India Store | ✅ With iPhone only | HDFC cashback | 3–5 days |
| India iStore | ✅ Best trade-in value | HDFC ₹4K cashback | In-store pickup |
Pro Tips for Buyers
- Backup your old iPhone before trade-in to avoid delays.
- Check screen damage — cracked screens reduce trade-in value by 50–80%.
- Clear Apple ID from old phones to unlock full value.
- Buy before August 10, as Rakhi campaigns usually expire early.

Adobe integrates Gemini 3-powered Nano Banana Pro AI model into Photoshop and Firefly
Adobe has introduced Google’s new Gemini 3-powered Nano Banana Pro AI model to both Photoshop and the Firefly app, bringing upgraded image generation, improved editing capabilities, and unlimited AI image creation for subscribers until December 1.
Swift rollout following Adobe–Google partnership
The announcement came through an official Adobe press release, highlighting the remarkably fast turnaround — arriving less than two weeks after the companies revealed their expanded strategic partnership. Under this collaboration, Adobe users gain access to Google’s frontier AI models across key creative apps including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Firefly.
Adobe also confirmed that Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly subscribers will enjoy unlimited AI image generation until December 1. This applies not only to Firefly’s native models but also to select third-party AI engines.
Nano Banana Pro debuts in Firefly
Within the Firefly app, users can now choose the Nano Banana Pro model through the text-to-image tool. Firefly Boards — Adobe’s collaborative mood-boarding platform — also supports the model, enabling creators to:
- Upload up to six reference images
- Combine and refine visuals using prompts
- Develop concepts collaboratively with AI-assisted workflows

This integration marks another step in Adobe’s push to expand its AI-driven creative ecosystem. By incorporating Google’s latest model, Adobe equips creators with greater flexibility, faster workflows, and more powerful generative tools. As AI-assisted design accelerates, the Adobe–Google partnership strengthens Photoshop and Firefly’s competitive edge across both desktop and mobile platforms.

Apple iPhone Fold Leaks Reveal 2026 Launch, Features, Price & Camera Upgrades
iPhone Fold leaks reveal launch timeline, price, camera, battery, and key design details
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is reportedly targeting a September 2026 launch, featuring a 7.8-inch foldable display, a 5,000mAh+ battery, a high-resolution under-display camera, and an ultra-premium price tag.
New Delhi:
Rumors surrounding Apple’s first foldable iPhone have circulated for years, but the latest leaks offer the clearest picture yet of what the company may unveil in 2026. Unlike Android manufacturers that iterate rapidly in the foldable space, Apple is expected to enter the segment with a polished, mature product. Reports suggest the iPhone Fold may debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, signaling Apple’s strong commitment to foldables rather than treating the device as an experiment.
Breakthrough 24MP Under-Display Camera
According to a JP Morgan equity research report, the iPhone Fold could feature a 24MP under-display camera on its inner screen—an enormous leap over current Android foldables, which typically use 4MP or 8MP sensors.
If accurate, Apple may have solved long-standing challenges associated with under-display cameras, including:
- Poor light transmission
- Reduced image clarity
This would make the iPhone Fold the first foldable device to offer a truly high-quality under-display camera experience.
Biggest Battery Ever in an iPhone
Battery specifications are just as noteworthy. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that Apple plans to use high-density battery cells, while Korean sources estimate capacities between 5,400mAh and 5,800mAh.
Chinese leaker Instant Digital further claims the battery will “definitely” exceed 5,000mAh, making it the largest battery ever used in an iPhone. This aligns with the demands of a foldable design, similar to devices like the vivo X Fold 5 and Honor Magic V5.
Display and Design: 7.8-inch Main Panel, Touch ID Return
Leaks point to a 7.8-inch main foldable display paired with a 5.5-inch outer cover display. Interestingly, Apple may revive Touch ID, potentially due to the thinner design of the cover screen where Face ID hardware may be harder to accommodate.
Four-Camera System
Reports suggest the following camera configuration:
- Hole-punch selfie camera on the outer screen
- High-resolution under-display camera inside
- Dual 48MP rear cameras
This results in a total of four camera modules.
Ultra-Premium Pricing Expected
According to MacRumors, the iPhone Fold could be priced between USD 2,000 and USD 2,500, making it the most expensive iPhone ever released. This pricing signals Apple’s intent to position the device firmly in the ultra-premium foldable segment.
Market Expectations for 2026
With major specifications leaking well ahead of launch, anticipation around Apple’s foldable device is unusually high. If Apple successfully delivers a refined folding mechanism, high-end under-display camera technology, a massive battery, and signature Apple design polish, the iPhone Fold could become one of 2026’s most significant device launches.
However, all details remain speculative until Apple makes an official announcement.
