Apple iPhone 5C 8GB available for Rs 29,500 under buyback

After launching the iPhone 5C 8GB variant at a price of Rs 37,500 - though with a discount of Rs 3,000 - Apple seems to be leaning towards buyback offers.

Manish Khatri of Mumbai based Mahesh Telcom informs that under the new buyback offer on the iPhone 5s 8GB, the phone can be purchased for Rs 29,500.

Under this new buyback offer, users can get a minimum of Rs 8,000 off on purchase of the iPhone 5C 8GB in exchange of the old smartphone. Apple is also offering  a free accessory - a dock or a case - on the purchase of the iPhone 5C.

This is a limited period offer valid till June 14.

There is also a similar buyback offer of Rs 8,000 on exchange of an old smartphone on the iPhone 5C 16GB and iPhone 4S 8GB.

This brings down the price of the iPhone 5C 16GB to Rs 33,500, which makes it a better option to invest considering it offers more storage. The iPhone 4S is towards the end of its life smartphone. This scheme brings down the price to Rs 21,500.

For the latter two, Ingram Micro is also advertising about the free accessories worth Rs 8,000 free on the purchase of iPhone 5C 16GB and iPhone 4S 8GB, which is only available on the Apple Premium Resellers in the country. It is unlikely that a user can avail both the offers but we are in the process of checking this and will update the story.
