Many people got excited and decided to wait and buy the premium iPhone Pro model from the platform. But little did they know that buying a phone online would become such a scam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iPhone 16 Pro sale scam has been trending in the last few days across social media platforms, and most of them have the same complaint, Flipkart is cancelling all the iPhone 16 Pro orders without giving the buyers any reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Flipkart Big Billion iPhone 16 Pro Sale Offer: What Did It Say?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Flipkart\u2019s big billion day (BBD) sale said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/flipkart-bbd-sale-apples-iphone-16-pro-will-be-available-for-just-rs-70000-9566457.html\">iPhone 16 Pro will be available at Rs 69,999 with all the deals<\/a> and conditions. Similarly, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will go on sale for just Rs 89,999 during the BBD sale from September 22, 2025 onwards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Flipkart understandably shared the big news about unprecedented orders for the iPhone 16 models and people were hoping to quickly get their hands on their device (and not soap cases or brick).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Flipkart\u2019s iPhone 16 Pro Sale Offer Scam: What\u2019s The Issue?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But 24 hours later, most of these excited customers started to unravel the issues plaguing this \u2018too good to be true\u2019 deal from the platform. Some of the posts on X validate the supposed scam that has been brewing somewhere in the middle between the seller and the buyer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Most of these posts say the iPhone 16 Pro orders were placed and they even managed to make it till the checkout page for final payment. And then some time later they noticed that Flipkart had cancelled their order for no rhyme or reason. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">If this looked like an isolated incident then more posts about angry buyers with the same issue started to paint a very worrying picture for the people spending their money, getting their refund and not the iPhone 16 Pro model they wanted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">While some of the eager buyers were not pleased with the false marketing for the iPhone 16 Pro offer price, which seems to have run out quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Not The First Sale Problem<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Flipkart has been in the BBD sale business for many years now and this is not the first instance of a deal going off the tracks. The platform has become a middleman in recent times, which means it only hosts the sellers who make their products available to the buyer. However, when you start teasing deals like these in the public, you not only get the fame and excitement of these people, you also face their anger if things go sideways. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-973981785 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
