Why the iPhone 14 makes for a great gift this Diwali

Apple’s iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 may be the most feature-rich non-Pro iPhones to buy right now. But as is the case every year, these phones come at a premium – a price that not everyone may want to put on a phone.

However, if you still want to get your hands on an Apple phone this Diwali, there are some value-for-money deals you should know of. Perhaps the most value-for-money iPhone right now is the iPhone 14. Read on to find out why.

Apple iPhone 14: How to get it at its lowest price

The Apple iPhone 14 is available at a price of Rs 52,990 right now at Croma. However, there’s an instant discount of Rs 2,000 on most cards out there, bringing the effective price to just Rs 50,990.

Of course, thus price can be lowered further, should you choose to exchange your older phone, and depending on the make, model and condition of your older phone, you may be able to reduce the price of your iPhone 14 by a lot.

Should you get an iPhone 14 right now?

What you may be wondering is whether you should opt for the iPhone 14 in 2024. While it is true that the device is two generations old at this point, for the price you pay, you will still get the flagship iPhone experience.

The iPhone 14 offers a compact form factor, great for anyone not looking to carry around a large and bulky phone. It also gets most of the major innovations that have come to the iPhone in recent years, including MagSafe, an ultrawide camera, autofocus on the front camera and a repairable back. It also gets iOS 18, the current software version, and is set to get the next couple of updates too.

The iPhone 14 also has vibrant colours, which are different from the muted colours on the iPhone 15 series, so if you didn’t want those, the 14 is a winner here. What you will be missing out on, is the new Dynamic Island, which again, will not affect your functionality in any way.

That’s basically why the iPhone 14 makes for a great gift this Diwali under the Rs 50,000 price point, whether it is for yourself or for a loved one. If you want to shell out some more money though, you can always consider the iPhone 15 or the iPhone 16.
