Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be available in India starting tomorrow. The pre-orders have gone live across online and offline authorized stores. However, Flipkart’s trade-in offer on the premium smartphone will give you one of the best deals. Here’s how it works for the Rs 64,000-priced iPhone 8 (64GB model).

The original cost of the iPhone 8 is Rs 64,000. However, if you trade in your older iPhone, you can avail impressive discounts. In addition to that, if you use Citi Credit and World Debit Cards, there’s an additional cash back Rs 10,000. Furthermore, if you want to opt for the buyback guarantee scheme, you can further lock down on a specific amount, which can be availed whenever you set out to purchase a new phone in exchange of the iPhone 8. As for the trade-ins, the best value can be availed through the iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, Moto Z, and OnePlus 3T. It is also worth noting that Flipkart is promising to deliver the iPhone 8 on the launch date itself, i.e, September 29, in select cities.

Now, if you avail the buyback guarantee scheme by paying an additional Rs 99, you get an assured value of Rs 28,000. The buyback value can be availed on an exchange of the iPhone 8 15 months later. By applying all these discounts and schemes, you effectively pay only Rs 6,000. Interestingly, the total exchange discount on the iPhone 8 is up to Rs 23,000, so in case you have an iPhone 7 Plus, you can get up to Rs 23,000 in exchange discount for the newer phone, bringing the effective price further down.

By deducting Citi cashback of Rs 10,000 and buyback guarantee value of Rs 28,000, you can purchase the iPhone 8 at an effective price of Rs 12,000.

By adding Citi cashback offer of Rs 10,000 and the buyback guarantee of Rs 28,000, you are essentially buying the new iPhone at almost a fraction of its current price.
