India iStore is offering a deal that could be music to the ears of those seeking an iPhone upgrade without the hefty price tag. The iPhone 13 is available at an effective price of Rs 35,900, a tempting proposition for budget-conscious buyers. This deal is valid both online and at physical Apple-authorized retail stores throughout India.

Decoding the Discount

The base variant of the iPhone 13 with 128GB storage usually carries a price tag of Rs 59,600. However, with an instant store discount of Rs 4,700 and a cashback of Rs 1,000, the price comes down to a more manageable Rs 53,900.

But how does one snag the iPhone 13 for under Rs 40,000 in 2024? The answer lies in trading in your old smartphone. For example, a 64GB iPhone 11 in decent condition could net you Rs 13,000, along with an additional exchange bonus of Rs 5,000. This effectively brings the price of the iPhone 13 down to an attractive Rs 35,900.

The exchange value is contingent on the model and condition of your old device. Additionally, there are tiered bonuses based on the trade-in value:

Rs 3,000 bonus for phones valued between Rs 3,000 and Rs 10,000
Rs 5,000 bonus for phones valued between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000
Rs 8,000 bonus for phones valued over Rs 15,000

iPhone 13 in 2024: Yay or Nay?

Even in 2024, the iPhone 13 holds its own as a reliable and capable smartphone. It effortlessly handles everyday tasks such as calls, social media browsing, capturing photos, and even gaming. In terms of performance and design, it’s closely aligned with the iPhone 14.

However, when compared to the latest iPhone 15, the iPhone 13 does reveal its age. It misses out on modern features like the convenience of USB-C charging, the interactive Dynamic Island, and the enhanced photography capabilities of a 48MP camera.

If you’re looking for a solid iPhone experience without stretching your budget, and you can grab the iPhone 13 for less than Rs 40,000, it’s certainly a deal worth considering. The added assurance of receiving future iOS updates sweetens the deal even further.
