Are you looking to buy a new iPhone 12? Or maybe you want to buy the iPhone 11 at the best price? If yes, now is the bad time to go shopping for a new iPhone.

Why? Because Apple just announced its next event is September 14 where the next-generation iPhone, and that will be the iPhone 13, is likely to be launched. At the iPhone launch every year, Apple also announces new prices and availability details of older iPhones. In other words, the prices of older iPhones are reduced. Or in other words, there is a good possibility that after the launch of the iPhone 13, the prices of the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 11 are expected to come down.

With the arrival of the iPhone 13, or whatever Apple decides to call it, the iPhone 12 series will likely see a big price cut. The iPhone 12 series starts at Rs 69,900 officially, and even though third-party resellers such as Amazon and Flipkart have time and again put these phones on sale for much lower prices, Apple will introduce fresh, official discounts for the iPhone 12 series phones. That would mean that shopping websites such as Amazon and Flipkart will bring down the prices of the iPhone 12 series models even lower on their platforms.

Waiting for a few more days, probably until after the release of the next generation of iPhone, means you will have better options than what you have right now. Depending on what you want, you will be able to make a wise decision about buying a brand-new iPhone.

The advantages of holding off do not just stop there. If you are someone for whom money is not a concern, but a brand-new iPhone is, the iPhone 12 is almost one year old now. So if you go shopping for the iPhone 12 right now, you will be paying for an iPhone, which is going to become old in a matter of a few days. The upcoming iPhone 13, as such, will be the iPhone to go for. Apple’s upcoming iPhone 13 will use a faster and better processor, a better display technology, and a better set of cameras.

In India, it is expected that the new iPhone 13 will go on sale on October 1.
