When Will the Cost of iPhone 6 Decrease?

Apple has a history of adjusting the prices of older models when a new iPhone is released. This article explores the pricing dynamics of the iPhone 6 and 6S ahead of the iPhone 7 launch in September 2016. We'll also discuss how supply and demand impact the pricing and what the future might hold for the iPhone 6 and 6S models.

The Evolution of iPhone 6 Pricing

Until recently, the cost of the iPhone 6 in India was around 82,000 INR. With the release of the iPhone 7, Apple lowered the price of iPhone 6 by 22,000 INR. Currently, the cost has decreased to around 66,000 INR for the iPhone 6, reflecting a significant drop in the market.

However, interest in the latest models with enhanced features can drive down prices of older models. After the launch of the iPhone 7, we might see continued price drops for the iPhone 6 and 6S, mirroring the trend seen in previous years.

Price Cuts for iPhone 6 and 6S

Before the iPhone 7 becomes widely available, Apple has already slashed the prices of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus by 22,000 INR. The 6S Plus, which was priced at 92,000 INR, is now available for 70,000 INR, and the smaller iPhone 6S, previously priced at 68,000 INR, is now selling for 46,000 INR.

As Apple discontinues the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, dealers have been offering attractive deals on the remaining stock. This is an excellent opportunity for buyers to take advantage of the reduced prices.

New iPhone Models and Future Price Trends

The new line-up of iPhones, including the iPhone SE, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, and 7 Plus, are being eagerly anticipated. Typically, Apple lowers the prices of older models shortly after the release of a new iPhone. This trend is likely to persist, with prices of iPhone 6 and 6S potentially dropping by 5-10,000 INR.

The exact timing of these price drops is not immediate. After the new iPhone models launch, prices often drop by 5-10,000 INR over a period of 2-3 months. By the end of 2016, you can expect to see significant price reductions for iPhone 6 and 6S models.

Conclusion

For those considering the purchase of an iPhone 6 or 6S, it's wise to keep an eye on market trends. The launch of the iPhone 7 in September 2016 is likely to bring about a decrease in the cost of older models. If you’re planning to upgrade, now might be a good time to purchase, especially if you’re looking for the best value for your budget.
