The highly anticipated Flipkart Big Billion Days sale has left many shoppers divided, with some questioning if the wait was truly worth it, especially concerning the expected discounts on Apple iPhones. While an iPhone 16 was rumored to be available for ₹51,999 (down from its usual ₹69,999), reports suggest only a few individuals managed to secure this highly sought-after deal.
One fortunate customer, Aravind Jo from Chennai, shared his success story on X (formerly Twitter), revealing he purchased an iPhone 16 for an impressive ₹52,497. He noted the incredibly swift delivery, receiving his new phone just 20 minutes after ordering it at midnight. Jo expressed his gratitude to the delivery partner who braved heavy rain to ensure timely delivery.
Another X user, Shivam Yadav, also shared a similar experience, showcasing an iPhone delivered by Flipkart in a mere six minutes. The buzz surrounding the iPhone 16 led to it trending on X as users eagerly participated in the sale. While Flipkart Plus members gained early access from September 22, many others reported issues, including iPhone 16 Pro models selling out in under a minute, orders being put on hold despite successful payments, and even outright cancellations without explanation.
