iPhone X has officially been launched, along with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. While the tech industry drools over the new iPhones and their features, there is major stuff happening with older iPhones as well. Models such as iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have received price cuts in India, which will make them more attractive options to those looking to get their hands on an Apple phone without spending a sum that burns a hole in their pocket. On the other hand, the iPhone SE – the cheapest model in Apple’s portfolio – has not received a price cut yet.

Further, Apple has slashed the starting price of iPhone SE in the US by $50 (roughly Rs. 3,200) to $349 (roughly Rs. 22,300). Interestingly, in India, the company has decided to retain the pricing of the 32GB and 128GB storage variants of the smartphone at Rs. 26,000 and Rs. 35,000 respectively.
Considering that the iPhone X will be made available in India with a starting price of Rs. 89,000, it might not be a bad idea to look at some of the earlier generation models that offer good features at affordable prices post the price cut.
