iPhone 16 Pro gets a massive price slash as Flipkart GOAT sale heats up, drops prices just before iPhone 17 arrives
Apple
loyalists keep an eye out for the iPhone 17, Flipkart is busy clearing the decks. The
Flipkart GOAT Sale 2025
has slashed the price of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max quite heavily. The iPhone 16 Pro Max now sits at Rs 1,09,900 instead of its launch price of Rs 1,29,900. The iPhone 16 Pro is down too — Rs 1,54,900 from Rs 1,64,900. Throw in an extra Rs 4,000 off if you've got a Flipkart Axis Bank credit card and the deal gets even sweeter.
These phones still hold their own. The iPhone 16 Pro brings a 6.3‑inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. The Pro Max stretches that to 6.9 inches. Both run Apple's A18 chip and carry 8GB RAM plus 128GB storage at the base. The cameras remain a highlight — a triple rear setup with a 48MP main sensor, 48MP ultra‑wide and 12MP telephoto. Selfies and video calls? A crisp 12MP front camera sorts that. Battery life is decent too: 3582mAh for the Pro, 4685mAh for the Pro Max, both supporting 25W wireless charging. They're offered in Titanium White, Titanium Desert and Titanium Black.
'The iPhone 16 series made a lot of buzz at the time of launch,' as tech insiders pointed out last year. And rightly so. The Pro versions stand apart with high-end displays, solid build and a camera system that can still rival the best.

Is it worth buying right now?
The big question. With the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max set to land soon, some might think waiting makes more sense. But not everyone wants to pay top dollar for the very latest. 'It is worthwhile to note that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to go up the price ladder when launched,' say market analysts. If you want a top-tier iPhone but don't fancy stretching your budget, these GOAT Sale deals look very appealing.
More premium deals in the mix
Flipkart isn't stopping at iPhones. If you want an alternative, the Google Pixel 8a is now Rs 37,999 — decent price for a phone that's all about clean Android and sharp cameras. The Samsung Galaxy S24 sits at Rs 46,999, packing a punch with the Exynos 2400 chip, a vibrant AMOLED display and a triple camera. If you're leaning Samsung but want it a bit cheaper, the Galaxy S24 FE is Rs 35,999.

How the base iPhone 16 fits in
Don't overlook the standard iPhone 16. At launch in India it started at Rs 79,900 for 128GB. Now, Flipkart's sale has dragged it down to Rs 69,999. Early shoppers even grabbed it for Rs 59,999 when the sale kicked off on 12 July. Bank offers, cashback and EMI deals make it lighter on the wallet too.
The iPhone 16 holds up well: 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, A18 Bionic chip, 48MP main camera with next-gen stabilisation, 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. It runs iOS 18 and folds in Apple's new AI smarts through Apple Intelligence.

America's debt time bomb: Markets could crash before 2026 midterm elections, says ex-IMF official!
The United States may be in line for a severe financial reckoning before the 2026 midterm elections. Desmond Lachman , a former deputy director at the International Monetary Fund, warned that the world is losing trust in the US dollar, and the United States could suffer a financial crisis next year, as reported by Fortune. Why is market trust in the US fading? In a new opinion piece for Project Syndicate, Lachman describes how a mix of rising debt, political turmoil, and declining confidence in US institutions are spooking markets and driving the dollar to record lows, as per the report. In Lachman's view, even before the start of US president Donald Trump's second term, the fiscal health of the nation was already beginning to show the pressure, according to Fortune. But matters have taken a very rapid turn as the sweeping new tax cuts recently signed into law are set to pile trillions onto the national deficit, as per the Fortune report. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo ALSO READ: Bitcoin hits $121,000 - Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki urges newcomers: Reflect before it's too late What's driving concerns about a crisis? At the same time, Trump's hard-hitting tariffs and repeated pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates are fuelling inflationary fears and further rattling world confidence in the US economy, according to the report. He also pointed out that, 'Add to that Trump's apparent disregard for the rule of law, and markets see little reason to trust the US,' as quoted in the Fortune report. Live Events How is the US dollar performing? According to him, this could be the reason that the US dollar fell 10% against other top global currencies in the first half of the year, marking the greenback's worst such performance since 1953, as reported by Fortune. ALSO READ: Air taxi revolution? Joby Aviation doubles output, investors react fast, stock skyrockets 7% What's gold telling us about investor confidence? Lachman pointed out that gold increasing 25% this year is another sign of collapsing market confidence in the United States, as are Treasury yields remaining elevated despite market turbulence, according to the report. Can Donald Trump pressure markets like he does politicians? He said that, 'The problem for Trump is that, unlike politicians, markets cannot be pressured or primaried,' while referring to the threat of ousting disobedient lawmakers via primary elections, as reported by Fortune. Lachman added that, 'If he refuses to heed investors' warnings, as seems likely, the US should brace for a dollar and bond-market crisis in the run-up to next year's midterm elections. The days of the world letting America live beyond its means are rapidly coming to an end,' as quoted in the report. Are others echoing these concerns? While the fixed income portfolio manager at Capital Group, John Queen, recently wrote in a client note that, 'Many people have predicted that catastrophe is right around the corner and, someday, one of them is going to be right,' as quoted by Fortune. Queen added that, 'Unfortunately, they are just guessing, so I am not going to predict that. I am instead going to say that I think the market is good at pricing in those concerns,' as quoted in the report. FAQs Is the US heading toward a financial crisis? It's possible, according to former IMF official Desmond Lachman, especially if current economic trends continue unchecked. Why is the US dollar losing value? Lachman says it's due to rising debt, inflation fears, and eroding trust in political and financial leadership, as per the Fortune report.

For the first time, Nashik civic body to start stray cat sterilisation & vaccination
Nashik: The civic body has launched a programme to sterilise stray cats in the city for the first time. The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) administration invited tenders from agencies and contractors registered with the Animal Welfare Board of India to catch, sterilise, and vaccinate stray cats against rabies. Currently, the civic body captures stray dogs and sterilises them through private agencies, with approximately 800 stray dogs sterilised each month. Over the past nine years, around 80,000 dogs were sterilised by the NMC administration through appointed agencies. The teams respond to complaints about stray dogs, excluding those already sterilised. After the procedure, the dogs were returned to their original locations. Last month, the NMC general body approved the civic administration's proposal for the sterilisation and vaccination of stray cats. This action aligns with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the Animal Birth Control (dogs) Rules, 2022, which mandate control of the stray cat population. State govt had previously issued relevant guidelines through a circular. NMC officials said they have floated the bid for the sterilisation of stray cats and their vaccinations against rabies. The last date for bid submission is July 29. The appointed agency for cat sterilisation will be required to establish necessary facilities, including an operation theatre, a dedicated cat ward, and essential utilities such as water and electricity. The initial contract period is set for one year, with an estimated cost of Rs 20 lakh, funded under the stray animal sterilisation budget. NMC has allocated Rs 3.5 crore in its budget for the financial year 2025-26.
