What to watch

  • Flipkart Axis Bank offer caps, eligibility rules and whether the Rs 9,000 benefit is exhausted early.
  • Attachment rates for AppleCare, accessories and no-cost EMI relative to non-promotional iPhone sales.
  • Expand targeted exchange boosters for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 owners if conversion rates outperform standard discount campaigns.
  • Use bank-partner messaging and pre-approved EMI offers to convert high-intent shoppers who cannot pay the full upfront price.
  • Bundle accessories, protection plans and premium delivery services to recover margin lost through discount, cashback and exchange funding.
