As the iPhone 16 officially hits the market, standing in long lines at stores is no longer the only way to get your hands on Apple’s latest device. Thanks to the rise of instant delivery services, you can now have the iPhone 16 delivered to your doorstep in just 10 minutes—without leaving home.
Tata-owned grocery delivery platform BigBasket is offering 10-minute deliveries of the iPhone 16. In partnership with Tata’s Croma, BigBasket has expanded into the electronics market, allowing customers to order not just groceries but also gadgets like mobile phones, laptops, and more. The company has started deliveries of iPhones starting with the latest iPhone 16.
According to Hari Menon, co-founder and CEO of BigBasket, "This is just the beginning of our foray into the electronics space. We’re offering lightning-fast deliveries to make sure our customers can enjoy the latest tech without the wait."
BigBasket isn’t the only company offering rapid iPhone 16 deliveries. Competitor Blinkit, in collaboration with Unicorn Store, is also promising to deliver the iPhone 16 within 15 minutes.
If the speed of delivery isn’t enough to convince you, several instant delivery services are offering attractive deals on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. On Blinkit, customers using SBI, ICICI, or Kotak Credit Cards can enjoy a cashback of ₹5,000.
But why would you still buy from Apple?
One of the biggest reasons, apart from the overall buying experience is Apple’s Trade-In programme. It essentially allows you to trade in your old smartphone—whether it’s an iPhone or an Android device—and use the credit to reduce the price of a new iPhone 16.
Here are the estimated trade-in values for various iPhone models:
iPhone 15 Pro Max: Up to ₹67,500 iPhone 15 Pro: Up to ₹61,500 iPhone 14 Pro Max: Up to ₹57,000 iPhone 14 Pro: Up to ₹55,700 iPhone 14 Plus: Up to ₹34,600 iPhone 14: Up to ₹32,100 iPhone 13 Pro Max: Up to ₹45,250 iPhone 13 Pro: Up to ₹42,800 iPhone 13: Up to ₹31,000 iPhone 12 Pro Max: Up to ₹33,400 iPhone 12: Up to ₹20,800 iPhone SE (3rd generation): Up to ₹15,000 Even older iPhone models like the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR can still fetch you up to ₹14,350 and ₹10,200, respectively, making it easier to upgrade.
Trade-In values for Android devices Apple also accepts Android devices for trade-in, offering the following estimated values:
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Up to ₹41,000 Samsung Galaxy S22 5G: Up to ₹18,600 Samsung Galaxy Note20: Up to ₹10,000 OnePlus 8: Up to ₹10,500 Google Pixel 6a: Up to ₹9,000 Redmi Note 12: Up to ₹5,610
