Many of us have been dreaming of getting an iPhone from the last couple of months or even years. But given the hefty price tags that all iPhone models come with, the possibility of joining the Apple club remains unrealistic for most people. This is particularly the case for the self-sustaining generation of today, who manage almost all financial expenses on their own.
Hey, don't lose heart! It might seem difficult to buy iPhones, but it's no mission impossible. I have given below five smart ways to get fantastic deals on iPhone. I am sure one (or a couple of these combined) will help you finally get your hands on a shiny new iPhone.
Online Shopping
E-commerce portals are one of the best platforms to shop iPhones, and get some great deals thereon. Yes, I know that you apprehensive of relying on online stores for buying gadgets, especially when it involves spending Rs. 40,0000 plus. The trick is limiting your search to the biggest and most reputed portals only. I use Amazon for all my gadgets purchase (including iPhones and Macbooks) and have never had any problems. Online shopping on discount days (which come very often) can get you huge iPhone discount in India.
Pro tip: You can track gradual price drops by keeping your selected model of iPhone in the wishlist.
Wait for New Models
As you must be aware, Apple has recently launched the latest iPhone model - iPhone 7. Within few days, we have already started seeing price drops on the older iPhone models. This happens every time a new model is launched. So whenever you plan to buy an iPhone, check if a new model is around the corner. And if it is, then wait till it hits the market. Yes, you will be buying an older model, but you will get a much better deal on the iPhone you were planning to buy anyway!
Try Second Hand
Buying second-hand iPhone is another great option. By ‘second-hand’ I don’t mean that you buy an iPhone that has already been beaten up for a couple of years. Instead, find an iPhone that has been sparingly used and is almost in flawless condition. It will take some dedicated browsing on sites like Quikr and OLX, but you will surely find genuine sellers whose iPhones are in good shape, but they are selling to upgrade to better models. Even better is to buy phones that you still in warranty.
Offers / EMi Schemes
Watch out for the banks and retailers who offer interest-free EMI on iPhones. This way you can pay small manageable instalments without disturbing your monthly budget.
Also look out for attractive offers like free (or economically priced) accessories bundle, which will let you save a little more.
Price Comparison
In this world, where everything is online, you need not walk to different physical stores to compare iPhone prices. Grab a pizza, sit on the couch, and start exploring some of the best sites like Mysmartprice.com, where you can compare existing market prices, both online and offline. And if you are too lethargic to compare prices, you can subscribe to their unique ‘price alerts’ stuff, where you will receive everything related to iPhone prices via email.
So, go ahead, try this tricks, and fulfil your dream of showing off your iPhone!
