iPhone 16e can be yours for around Rs 35,000, but there's a catch

India Today3 days ago
The iPhone 16e is a great option for anyone looking to enter Apple's ecosystem at a relatively affordable price. Launched at a starting price of Rs 59,900, the iPhone 16e is still quite new — just about five months old. Despite that, we've already seen some great deals on Apple's most budget-friendly iPhone. But the current offer is probably the best yet. If you take into account the listed price, ongoing bank offers and exchange discounts, the iPhone 16e can effectively be bought for as low as Rs 35,725. Here's how it works.advertisementiPhone 16e available for around Rs 35,000 on AmazonTo get the best deal, head over to Amazon. The phone is currently available with a flat discount of Rs 6,300, which brings the price of the 128GB version down to Rs 53,600. On top of that, using select bank cards — SBI or ICICI credit cards (excluding Amazon Pay) — gets you an additional Rs 4,000 instant discount, making the effective price Rs 49,600.Amazon is also offering an exchange bonus of up to Rs 49,100 on your old smartphone. So if you're looking to upgrade from your current device, now could be the perfect time.
For example, exchanging an old iPhone 11 brings an additional discount of Rs 13,875. That means the iPhone 16e could be yours for just Rs 35,725. Even trading in an iPhone SE 3 gives you a Rs 12,100 reduction, bringing the final price to Rs 37,500 — a great deal for a device that only launched a few months ago.Of course, the final exchange value depends on your phone's condition and model. To check the trade-in value, visit Amazon, select your preferred iPhone 16e model, and enter the details of your old phone. If your device qualifies for a high exchange rate, you could land a very good deal on Apple's latest entry-level iPhone.But, should you buy it?Even without the exchange offer, using the bank discount alone gets you the iPhone 16e for Rs 49,600. That makes it a sensible choice for anyone looking to buy an iPhone for under Rs 50,000. Yes, spending a bit more will get you the regular iPhone 16, which is technically better — but if you're on a strict budget, the 16e gives you excellent value.Keep in mind that the iPhone 16e skips a couple of features — there's no MagSafe support and no ultra-wide-angle camera. But in return, you get a bright OLED display, the Action Button, Apple's custom C1 modem, the high-end A18 chip, 8GB RAM, and Apple Intelligence support. For the price, it delivers quite a bit.To recap, the iPhone 16e launched globally on February 19 this year. Pre-orders began on February 21, with open sales starting on February 28.- Ends

IndusInd Bank shares in focus after board approves Rs 30,000-crore fundraising plan

IndusInd Bank shares will be in focus on Thursday after the bank's board of directors approved a fundraising plan of up to Rs 30,000 crore on Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT According to an exchange filing, the bank will raise Rs 20,000 crore via debt securities, either in Indian currency or in permitted foreign currencies through private placement. Additionally, it will raise Rs 10,000 crore through equity instruments such as Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), American Depository Receipts (ADR), or Global Depository Receipts (GDR). The fundraising comes in the backdrop of a $230 million hit to the bank's net worth in the fiscal year ended March 31, due to misaccounting of internal derivative trades over several years. This issue led to the resignations of CEO Sumant Kathpalia and Deputy CEO Arun Khurana in April. The UK-based Hinduja family, which holds a 15.82% stake in the bank and is classified as a promoter group, has now been allowed to nominate up to two directors on the board, following approval from the Reserve Bank of India. Promoters previously had no board representation. IndusInd Bank is currently being run by an executive committee. As per a Reuters report, the bank has shortlisted Rajiv Anand, Rahul Shukla, and Anup Saha as potential candidates for the CEO position. Notably, Saha resigned as Managing Director of Bajaj Finance earlier this week. IndusInd Bank is scheduled to announce its Q1 results on July 28.

Karnataka tops per capita income in India

Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday announced that Karnataka has achieved the highest per capita income in India, citing the Union Finance Ministry data and attributed this accomplishment to the positive impact of his government's guarantee schemes. He reaffirmed his commitment to building a Karnataka, where growth is inclusive and people-centric. "According to Union Finance Ministry data, Karnataka's per capita NSDP (Net State Domestic Product) stands at Rs 2,04,605 — the highest in the country," Siddaramaiah said. "This achievement reflects not only Karnataka's economic strength but also the impact of our Guarantee Schemes, which have boosted incomes, increased purchasing power, and driven inclusive growth across the state," he said in a post on 'X', with " #GuaranteeSarkara #KarnatakaModel". Noting that Karnataka's per capita income was Rs 1,05,697 in 2014-15, the CM said it has now increased by 93.6 per cent in 10 years. "The credit for this achievement goes to the guarantee schemes implemented by our government. By directly providing Rs 4-5 thousand per month, Rs 60-70 thousand per year to every family in the state, we are making every family financially self-reliant," he said.
