Zig Zag iPhone pricing by Apple for Retailers

iPhone pricing is highly fluctuating and varies from one retailer to another. This pricing is more confusing when comparing at online portals.

For example iPhone 6s 16GB Rose gold is available at Flipkart for rs. 47,499 and same can be purchased from Paytm at effective price of 36,740. Paytm initially charge rs 43,740 for this model however Rs. 7000 are credited as cash back. These Rs. 7000 can be used to buy another product or consumer can get this money in their credit/debit card with nominal charge of 1%, i.e. Rs. 70 in this case.

Apple product price are not same all year, for example you can buy a product (5S 16 GB) say in march end at Rs. 17k, and if you buy it in June you may need to purse out 22k. (For record, these were actual pricing for iPhone 5S 16 GB in year 2016 in March and June).

Apple to complete it target in particular quarter offer heavy discount and withdrew as per its wish n will. However consumer is one to suffer most in this transition.

‘Apple store’ also referred as ‘Apple Authorized Re seller’ are one who charge highest from end consumer, sometime glossy picture is presented to consumer mentioned ‘Original’ iPhone. However it is not true. Apple products are as genuine from online seller to any retailer as they are at Exclusive ‘Apple Store’. However if one is still in doubt then can verify details and service coverage at below link https://checkcoverage.apple.com/in/en/ 

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus also going to suffer with this eventuality. As Apple has worldwide  policy to not interfere in local pricing of product.
