iPhone SE 2022 is here and so far, it seems like a minor upgrade over the outgoing 2020 model. With the A15 chip and the enhance durability, the new iPhone SE also sees an increase in price. The base 64GB variant starts upwards of Rs. 40,000 in India at the moment! That seems too pricey given that you can still buy the outgoing iPhone SE 2020 at less than half its price. Yes, you can buy the iPhone SE 2020 for as low as Rs. 16,349.

Note that Apple has already stopped selling the iPhone SE 2020 officially via its portals. All the iPhone SE 2020 deals you see now can be availed as long as the stocks are available. Once the stocks go out, the iPhone SE will be substantially pricier than the current model, unless Apple drops the prices over the months.

iPhone SE 2020 for Rs. 16,349: How to get it?

Despite the iPhone SE 2022 announced, Flipkart is still selling the iPhone SE 2020 on its portals at the moment. The iPhone SE 2020 64GB variant is selling at a price of Rs. 29,999. This price is applicable on all the three colour variants – Black, White, and Red. This price alone makes the iPhone SE 64GB the most affordable “new” iPhone you can buy right now.

However, thanks to Flipkart's exchange offer, you can get a mega deal on this iPhone SE. Flipkart is offering up to Rs. 15,000 off on exchange with your older device. We tried exchanging an old iPhone XR 64GB and Flipkart returned a value of Rs. 13.650. This brings the price down to Rs. 16,349, thereby making it an incredibly cheap iPhone deal.

Even if you have an old iPhone 8, you can get up to Rs. 9,650 for the same. This brings the price down to Rs. 20,349. Note that you miss out on the 5G connectivity with the old iPhone SE 2020 model, and the performance will be a slightly lesser than the new iPhone SE running on the iPhone 13's A15 chip.

However, we recommend you wait for the prices to drop further in a Flipkart sale, where the iPhone SE 2020 could get cheaper.
