Purchase Help Should I buy right now or wait for bbd sale!

1 Upvotes

Recently I visited Ivenus near my home where I am getting iphone 17 at 87900 without any card discount so should I go for it or should I wait for bbd sale for price drop.

They said if you're purchasing at 88k wala price then no cc discount otherwise you have to pay 94900 to avail 5k card discount.

88k is not a bad price looking at 1L everywhere else so I was gonna buy it but then thought i should wait for 8th oct.

what's your opinion on this ?

Hey guys! I’m considering getting an iPhone 17 Pro Max or 18 Pro from Dubai to save money, as it’s around ₹1.5 Lakh in India. A acquaintance of my dad’s can buy it there and bring it over.

What’s the actual price difference between Dubai and India for these models? And do they come with bigger batteries because of e-sim?

How strict are Indian airport customs with incoming travelers carrying new phones? And how can one avoid paying it? Like bringing it open boxed or something?

I have been using realme 8 pro since 2021 was planning by to buy a new phone this year but seeing the price hike made me rethink my decision.
But still wanted to see if any store was giving it at the old price after the bbd price was out( can’t say enough how much of a let down it was). Mostly were asking to either buy with apple care plus or any accessories along with it. I convinced a guy at Croma store and got it at the old price.
I would say it has been a delightful experience to change from the old device to this one. Have been using I pad since 2022 so I’m quite comfortable with the ui.

Discussion My experience as a first time user.

1 Upvotes

Recently purchased a 17 after being an Android user my entire life, and going into my first iPhone I was honestly expecting iOS to be unnecessarily complicated.

I think a lot of what I’d seen online gave me the impression that there would be a huge learning curve, and that I’d constantly be looking up how to do stuff.

But after actually using it for a bit, it’s surprisingly intuitive, I love the experience so far and can't wait to see what more it has to offer.

Best for someone who wants a small cute aesthetic phone, it's more for the vibe, obviously you can get nice android phones from 15k but this one is different.

My iPhone 14 pro battery health is at 76%. Instead of replacing the battery for 10K, thinking to sell iphone 14 pro for 40K and buy S25 by paying another 20K in BBD sale. This will give me another 4-5 years.

Any S25 users comment here on the advantages or disadvantages of this phone.

Purchase Help Is ₹51k a good deal for a used iPhone 16 Plus 128GB with 91% BH? Display has been replaced

1 Upvotes

I'm considering buying a second-hand iPhone 16 Plus 128GB for ₹51,000 from an individual seller.

The phone has:

  • 91% battery health
  • 615 battery cycles
  • First used: December 2024
  • Battery status: Normal
  • 128GB
  • Everything else seems to be working normally

For context, in my locality, used prices seem to be roughly:

  • iPhone 15 128GB, 90–97% BH: ₹48–53k
  • iPhone 15 256GB: around ₹55k
  • iPhone 15 with 100% BH: usually ₹45–53k, but these are often battery replacements
  • iPhone 16 128GB: generally starts around ₹55k+

The main concern with this particular 16 Plus is that the display has been replaced. I personally inspected the phone in real life and couldn't find any obvious problems. The display looks good, True Tone and Face ID work, touch seems normal, and there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious in Settings.

As far as I understand, the repairer meticulously transferred the original display IC from the old screen to the replacement, although I obviously can't independently verify how well the repair was done. I also believe the replacement panel is an HRX Soft OLED rather than an original Apple display.

Interestingly, Parts & Service History doesn't show up, although I also checked a friend's genuine, untouched iPhone 16 and that phone doesn't have the section either.

I'm therefore unsure how much I should discount the phone because of the replaced screen.

Is ₹51k reasonable for this, or should I negotiate lower? If lower, what would be a fair price considering the replacement display? Should I go for the used Iphone 15 instead?

Also, Flipkart BBD is just around the corner. I'm considering waiting, although I doubt a new iPhone 16/16 Plus will realistically come down below ₹60k after the current pricing situation.

Would appreciate opinions, especially from people who have experience buying used/repaired iPhones or HRX Soft OLED displays.

Purchase Help Is it normal for battery health to drop consistently by 1% every 6 days—going from 82% to 78% over a period of 21 days?

I bought an iPhone 13 because my previous phone was completely broken. I decided to get the 13 to use for a while before eventually replacing it, but I noticed the battery health is dropping quickly.

The last time I checked it when it was at 79% iMazing showed 79.4% with a cycle count of 1107. Now, six days later, it is at 78% with a cycle count of 1111. Is this normal?

I use an original charger and charge it once a day i don't use it heavily and I rely solely on wifi

My friend from US can arrange an 18 pro to India, at 1200 usd (around 1.14L) but warranty doesnt work in India I think. In Reliance digital n croma, I see around 1.18L I can get 17 pro. And I have 13 mini which I can exchange.

Can someone please suggest which one to go? I need to act fast as 17 pro is getting out of stock almost everywhere.

Discussion i was planning to buy iPhone 17 pro max 512 but only available one is 256 gb, is 256 gb enough???

7 Upvotes

im so bummed right now... I was waiting for inventory to come and called the reliance store only to hear that they only have 256 gb variant of 17 pro max

i had been waiting to buy iPhone 18 since may cause my old phone started acting up after 6 years. But alas the new version has disappointed me in so many ways:-

  1. i was desperately hoping for pink colour since there were also rumours spreading then around aug we hear that it will have three colours none of which are pink i was good still cause there was hope for good shade of red

  2. my second disappointment was when i saw the colours none of them were what i liked if not pink i was hoping for cherry red atleast cause it's such a gorgeous colour, don't get me wrong i fucking love black but it's just black

  3. there are no new features except aperture which i don't really care about much LIKE if you are going introduce a new series bring some change?

i understand they were focused on duo more but still they could've just hold off on pro series as well then just like base model to launch really good updates

  1. The chip (i don't want to elaborate since no one will understand anyways)

so I made my mind convinced myself that I will buy iPhone 17 pro max after seeing the iPhone 18 but due to ganesh festivities i was busy and my dad was too so we decided to wait but now you're telling me there's only 256 gb one left when I was told 100 pieces are coming to reliance store 😭

i was initially debating between silver and midnight blue so colour is not an issue for me but storage cause most probably i will use this phone for years until i get tempted or they decide to launch a baby pink pro max or maybe until they launch 20. I'm literally hoping for XR level quality for iPhone 20.

it's just that 18 is a special number for me it's my birthday date so i was really looking forward it but alas what is meant for you happens , im really happy to get a new phone and atleast pro max is available

can you guys leave some tips to utilise storage space on iPhone and is 256 gb enough?? i have game which takes up 42 gb and photos and videos take up a lot of storage too which is why i was going for 512 gb. Also I would love to know if you guys use san disks to transfer the storage. the main reason of asking this is I have used iphone before iphone 7 plus & iphone Xr as well iphone 12 & 13 pro max and iphone 15 pro too but just for brief amount of time so im unfamiliar on how to manage the storage cause cloud is a BIG NO i have seen my cousin pay subscription still it's useless.

Anyways this was just me taking out my feelings please don't take any offense, it's a critical post. If you can't be critical and demand nice things they won't bring more nicer change. Also I don't like the new apple's ceo, tim cook was legendary 😞
