This week, the iPhone 6 16GB gold is available on Amazon for Rs. 42,606. The price is expected to fluctuate a bit, but at this price point it's definitely worth the money considering retail stores are still selling the iPhone 6 at the MRP.

Pro tip: Most consumers report receiving open or refurbished units during one of these sales. To stay on the safer side while ensuring you don't miss the deal, make sure you buy only from trusted sellers. On Amazon, it means buying only from Amazon Fulfilled listings since you can easily return items if anything goes wrong, and the refunds work smoothly. In case of Flipkart, make sure you only buy from sellers with Flipkart Advantage logo against their listings. The best way to ensure you get a genuine unit is to look at the packaging, ensure it's a genuine Apple India product, and register it on the Apple Self-care website using the serial number listed on te product.
