Guide Should I buy iPhone online or offline?

[fakemishra]

I am looking to replace my old android with iphone. Budget minimum but should get me by for 3-4 years atleast
Two questions:
1) Should I buy online or offline?
2) 15 series or the base 16? Not even considering the 'e' version

Check offers offline. Many offline stores offer price matching with online price, the profit being that you don't have to pay extra for open box delivery, and are saved the risk of getting a soap bar instead of the actual mobile.

Just last week, at a friend's mobile shop, I got the offer of iPhone 13 128 gbs for about 6k less than Amazon's price.

Offline , go for online only when there is a big sale going on

Prefer offline, but if u get a better deal online, maybe try to get it, But be aware that flipkart uses cheap tactics like cancelling the order 1 day before delivery, and you may not get the same offer later on.. Happened to me multiple times.
I'm guessing u mean 15 pro vs base 16 when u say 15 "series",
If I had to choose, I'd go for 15 pro, mainly for the better display and camera.. And I don't think there is a big use for the new camera control thingy..

I got the offer of iPhone 13 128 gbs for about 6k less than Amazon's price.

Did u buy that? If yes, Is it worth buying a 13 in 2025?
