Amazon’s Great Indian Festival Sale 2025 kicks off on Sept 23 (Prime members get 24h early access). This flagship sale promises steep discounts on smartphones. Amazon itself teases “up to 40% off on smartphone brands such as Apple”.
Tech analysts expect the iPhone 15 series to be a highlight, with prices dropping significantly. For context, last year’s Flipkart Big Billion Days slashed the iPhone 15 (128GB) to ₹48,999. In 2025, Amazon’s SBI bank offers and exchange deals are likely to push the price even lower, perhaps into the ₹40K range.

- iPhone 15 (Base): 6.1‑inch Super Retina OLED display, A16 Bionic chip, dual rear cameras (48MP wide + 12MP ultra-wide), 12MP selfie, iOS 17. Water/dust‑resistant (IP68) and uses USB-C charging.
- iPhone 15 Plus: Same internals as iPhone 15 but a larger 6.7‑inch OLED screen. Also dual-camera (48MP+12MP) and A16 Bionic, ideal for those who want a bigger display.

Smart Shopping Tips for Amazon GIF Sale
- Use Bank Offers: Pay with SBI credit/debit cards on Amazon to get an extra 10% instant discount (up to ₹6,000 or even more).
- Trade‑in Old Phone: Take advantage of Amazon’s exchange program. For example, you can get up to ₹47,150 off when trading in a qualifying old smartphone for an iPhone 15 (over & above all offers).
- Amazon Pay Rewards: If you use Amazon Pay or Pay Later, you may earn extra cashback. Amazon’s “Rewards Gold” program gives Prime users 5% back on selected purchases, which can effectively lower the price further.
- No-Cost EMI: Both Amazon and Flipkart offer 3-6 months no-cost EMI on iPhones with certain bank cards. This spreads payments without extra interest, but may not fetch you the lowest price which you get by full payment upfront.
- Early Access: Prime members get 24‑hour early access on Amazon Great Indian Festival 2025 so grab deals as soon as possible as iPhone 15 stock can sell out.
- Price Tracking: Keep an eye on Amazon’s price history or use tools/apps to compare prices in real time. Sometimes flash deals or lightning sales will knock even more off the tagged festive price.
- Bundle & Accessories: Check for bundled deals (e.g. with AirPods or AppleCare) and coupon codes on Amazon’s site. Also factor in Amazon Coupon discounts if you’re buying iPhones with other items.
- Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale Cashback offers, Coupons, and Deals: This Amazon festive page lists cashback offers, Amazon coupon codes, and the best deals. You can even earn extra (over & above all offers) Cashback (redeem for free Amazon gift cards & vouchers) on iPhone 15 Series!
Amazon vs Flipkart: Best iPhone 15 Deals?
Flipkart’s Big Billion Days 2025 has historically snagged the absolute lowest sticker prices on Apple phones. In 2024, Flipkart offered the iPhone 15 (128GB) at just ₹48,999 (including bank offers). However, this year it is focusing on iPhone 16 at Flipkart BBD sale price of ₹49,999 (expected).
Flipkart’s festive price list projects the iPhone 15 Pro at ~₹79,900 and Pro Max at ~₹99,900, which Amazon is likely to beat after SBI discounts.
In practice, smart shoppers should compare both. For example, even if Amazon’s base festive tag on the iPhone 15 were ₹48K, the SBI card off effectively brings it near ₹40K deal. Conversely, Flipkart’s extra bank promos and SuperCoins can tip the scales.
Overall, Flipkart wins on iPhone 16 price, while Amazon wins on iPhone 15 price (SBI discount/cashback, exchanges, Prime delivery). Watch both sales closely: the best deal might be on one platform first thing on opening day. In summary, expect iPhone 15 prices to tumble on both Amazon and Flipkart this Diwali.
