How iPhone 15 Owners Can Get a Refund After the iPhone 16 Launch in India

Apple’s recent launch of the iPhone 16 series has caught the attention of tech enthusiasts across the globe. In India, iPhone 15 owners may now be eligible for a refund if certain conditions are met.

Here’s how customers can benefit from Apple’s price protection policy following the release of the new iPhone models.

iPhone 16 Series Unveiled in India

Apple has officially launched its latest iPhone 16 series at the much-anticipated ‘It’s Glowtime’ event. The lineup includes four models:

• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus
• iPhone 16 Pro
• iPhone 16 Pro Max

One of the standout features of the iPhone 16 series is its integration of generative AI technology, allowing users to generate images and text using simple language prompts.

The devices will soon be available for pre-order starting September 13, with sales beginning from September 20 on popular platforms like Flipkart, Amazon, and the official Apple Store.

Older iPhone Model Price Drop

Alongside the iPhone 16 launch, Apple has reduced the prices of its older models by Rs 10,000. This price cut applies to the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus.

However, Apple has discontinued selling the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max on its official website, although these models remain available through third-party retailers and Apple-authorized sellers.

Refund Eligibility for iPhone 15 Buyers

Indian customers who recently purchased an iPhone 15 may be eligible for a refund if the price of the model decreases after the iPhone 16 launch. According to Apple’s retail policy, customers have a 14-day window from the date of purchase to claim a refund for the price difference if the cost of the iPhone 15 drops.

To initiate the refund process:

• Customers can visit an Apple Store
• Alternatively, they can contact Apple’s customer care at 000800 040 1966 for assistance.

This refund policy also extends to iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus models for customers who bought their devices within the last two weeks, following the price cut announcement.

Price Protection for Multiple Purchases

Apple’s price protection policy extends to multiple devices, covering up to ten units of the same model. This means families or businesses who purchased multiple iPhone 15 units can claim a refund for each, provided they have valid proof of purchase.

iPhone 16 Series Pricing in India

The pricing for the iPhone 16 series in India is as follows:

• iPhone 16: Rs 79,900
• iPhone 16 Plus: Rs 89,900
• iPhone 16 Pro: Rs 1,19,900
• iPhone 16 Pro Max: Rs 1,44,900

It’s worth noting that the iPhone 16 Pro models are Rs 15,000 cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro models at the time of their launch in India.
