Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, the Great Indian Festival, will commence on September 29. Ahead of the sale, the e-commerce platform has started to tease some deals and discounts worth considering from the upcoming festive season sale. The e-commerce giant has now confirmed that the iPhone 13 will be available for as low as Rs 39,999 during the Great Indian Festival, making it a fantastic choice for anyone considering a new iPhone under the Rs 40,000 price mark.
After the launch of the iPhone 16 series, Apple has officially discontinued the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 15 Pro series. However, this just means Apple will not be selling them on its official platform, and there isn’t much to worry about otherwise. The iPhone 13 retails for around Rs 47,900 on various online and offline portals right now.
Apple introduced the iPhone 13 in 2021, and it was a special smartphone in many ways. The iPhone 13 (review) is the successor of the iPhone 12 and came with quite a few changes, including a smaller notch, a new chip, improved battery life, and a diagonally stacked dual-camera setup. It comes with a 6.1-inch OLED screen, which is as good as the one on the iPhone 14, and it is also IP68 rated for water and dust resistance.
It supports wireless charging, the main 12 MP camera can shoot 4K videos at 60fps in Dolby Vision format, and it is also the first iPhone to introduce Cinematic mode.
In fact, the iPhone 13 is as good as the iPhone 14, and it even comes with the same A15 chip. It was also the first base iPhone to offer 128 GB of storage on the base model. So, even if you are considering the entry-level model of the iPhone 13, it should be good enough for most users.
The iPhone 13 is also eligible for the upcoming iOS 18 update and should receive at least two more major OS updates (iOS 19, iOS 20). However, like the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 14, it misses out on Apple Intelligence.
While the iPhone 13 might be three years old, it’s still a compelling device, especially for anyone looking for an iPhone under Rs 40,000. This could be a great first iPhone or a good upgrade for anyone who still has an iPhone 11 or older model.
