Some reports suggest that the iPhone 12 mini is priced under Rs 20,000 as some sort of a major, mind-boggling discount. However, there is no such discount. The only way a customer can purchase an iPhone 12 mini under Rs 20,000 (Rs 19,999 to be precise) is through bank offers and an exchange offer of up to Rs 30,000. However, it is unlikely you own a phone that will get you an exchange offer of up to Rs 30,000. The only phone that offers this value is an iPhone 13 Pro Max. And let’s be honest here, you are not going to exchange your iPhone 13 Pro Max for an older iPhone 12 mini.
