A brand new unit was replaced under AppleCare+ on 25.02.2025. AppleCare+ Coverage is still valid until 04.06.2025.
Pros: You can save some money (between ₹4,900 and ₹9,990), which you can use towards a decent case or screen protector.
Cons: Limited warranty—You lose the manufacturer’s warranty but get AppleCare+ Coverage until 04.06.2025. Since it is brand new and was issued directly from Apple, I am sure the warranty part is not a big deal. If anything goes wrong or you drop or break it before 04.06.2025, you can get AppleCare+ to cover it.
Along with the phone, you will get the following:
Original Box
Original Charging Cable - Unused and still in the box
Apple Sticker - Still in the box
Ideally, collect this in person and thoroughly inspect it in Bangalore.
I do not mind shipping it; I have shipped things more expensive than this out of Bangalore. The buyer is to carry the courier and risk.
This model on Amazon is 64900. The other models are 69990. I am flexible as long as it is a reasonable price though. The only difference is warranty between this and the one on Amazon or in any store.
I do not mind dropping this to ₹55,000 for a quick sale. I am quite busy and travelling a fair bit. A few thousand here or there will not make a difference to me if it moves quickly. That now makes it ₹100 more than the base iPhone 14, so if you are in the market for the 14, you can get the 14 plus for ₹100 more, an otherwise ₹10,000 difference.
Does that now seem more fair? No one has linked the price at ₹61-62k because it does not exist at that price, at least from any safe seller. The cheapest price online is ₹64,900.
So yeah, to answer @@thegoodsamaritan, I respectfully disagree; it is not the price you tried enlightening me with; however, if the sale is quick, I do not mind discounting it further by ₹5000.
So even if you were willing to buy it from some shady seller for ₹61-62k, you can still save an additional ₹6/7k by buying this one. I based my price on the going market rates and discounted a bit because you lose 8 months of warranty but get accidental damage protection for the four you get.
makes sense?
any card discount is certainly considered by the folks here because well, almost everyone here has most of those cards.
also, 8 months without standard warranty is a worse risk vs 4 months of initial apple care. (to each their own, anyway).
I am not sure about what shady seller you’re alluding to - but if I were to look for further lower rates, I (or anyone for that matter) would look to buy at the retail price using their firm or company, claiming the ITC (18%) in the said process.
but that’s not the point.
I mentioned the price of a new device with full warranty is available for 61-62 and from absolutely legit place.
apple care for a year for this phone is worth 8.5k, considering one gets 3 ish months apple care and no warranty, the apple care extrapolated is approx 2-2.2k worth of incremental value.
the lack of a cohesive warranty is what you haven’t accounted for, and that was the point of my post considering your asking price.
you have since updated your asking price to 55k, so that makes my entire exercise redundant, but the point still stands.
Okay, I did not spend that much time deciding on the price. I saw the current prices and knocked some off to account for your concerns.
Anyhow, are you happy with the ₹55k? Does it seem fair now? I hope it does not seem like I am trying to rip anyone off. I am open to a fair price if someone is interested in a quick sale.
Also, the cohesive warranty is 4 months instead of 12. AppleCare+ is transferrable, already registered and frictionless to claim.
A quick bump. I have reduced the price to ₹55,000. Looking for a quick sale. Am traveling all of next week so if anyone would like to close this prior, do let me know.
That’s a new pricing. I already have an offer for 45k. I will give it at that to whoever books it first. Such is tech these days lol. I am not breaking even on this.
I’d be interested if pricing is Minus 10k from whatever is best retail price. Please try to lock the deal with the 45 buyer if else I’d be happy too to have it
Thank u
I think at 40k I might as well give it to a family member to use. 45k is fixed for now or you can buy it from Croma. Whoever confirms it at 45k gets it.
It really begs to be asked why someone would not chose a new phone with a fresh warranty to begin with for 5k more.
People come to used classifieds, resellers to get a good deal on used/unsealed items.
Anyway you do you, I’m sure 40k is an offer than many forum users here would say is high considering new pricing and is sure a lot better than giving it to someone for free.
Sure, one can buy a phone with the 12 month warranty. They can also save 5k for a brand new phone with a few months AppleCare+ left on it. People are free to do as they please. For me, it’s not so much about the money either. I am not desperate to sell it. I still have a perfectly working almost new iPhone SE 2020 in a drawer, a couple OnePlus 7Ts and one OnePlus 11 5G as well. Someone in the family always needs a spare phone when their’s breaks. I spent almost 9k just getting it replaced under AppleCare+ and it is essentially a new phone. Only the warranty is an issue and for that they are saving 5k. Anyone has used Apple long enough will know that warranty claims are pretty rare. In my experience, over the past 25 years, I think the only time I ever had a warranty claim on a phone was the HTC One M7 and they did not even honour it. I have owned dozens upon dozens of phones in that time and never once claimed warranty. They have all been built to last at least the year without any manufacturing defects. I have however always bought a flagship or the iPhone at that time. HTC was the worst, followed by Samsung. iPhones have always been pretty reliable. Also, the pricing you are seeing on Croma may be a temporary sale as it is still 59900 on Amazon, and no one gives a damn about Flipkart. Seems to be the only iPhone 14 Plus they have in stock. All the other iPhone 14s are over 50k so they might be looking to dump their last few iPhone 14 plus models and maybe the yellow did not move as much. If so, you should take advantage of that deal and snap it right up buddy. Once it goes out of stock on Croma, the regular 14 models are still around 50k+ and elsewhere the 14 plus will be above 55k.
P.S. If the Croma one goes out of stock, I will jack this price back up to 52500.
But if you want to buy one, go ahead and buy it from Croma. Like I said, I guess it’s limited stock they are trying to offload and be done with, given that it is the only colour available and the only iPhone 14 Plus in inventory. Elsewhere, the price is closer to 60k for the iPhone 14 Plus. I was selling it at a fair price of 52500, in the original box, with an unused charging cable that came with it and all the other paperwork it comes with. Once Croma’s inventory is done, this one’s price will return to 52500.
Not my problem if iPhones retain value better than most other phones on the market. Your announcement to the forum is both pointless and a waste of internet traffic. Even if you offered me 45k now for this phone, I would not sell it to you because I do not think I would tolerate more than 5 minutes of conversation with you.
Hey, let’s not derail his thread anymore. You have said everything that was needed to be said (through your 1st post on this thread) and it’s his thread after all.
