Firstly, what is Maple and how reliable is it? Maple is a premium pre-owned store partner of Apple, which sells certified pre-owned iPhones, iPads and MacBooks to customers after rigorous quality checks and also offers a warranty with every product sold. Think of it as Cashify, but for Apple products.
Now, coming to the deals on offer, Maple is running its anniversary sale from July 16th to July 26th, where the following iPhones will be on offer:
On top of this, customers will be able to avail an additional 10 percent cashback on select credit cards to further sweeten the deal. These iPhones will be up for grabs on Maple’s online store, as well as Vi retail stores in Delhi and Mumbai.
A brand new iPhone 15 is currently available for around Rs 59,999 on Flipkart and official Apple premium resellers like Imagine, while Maple is offering refurbished units for Rs 40,999. Considering a Rs 19,000 price difference, the iPhone 15 is worth considering for users seeking a device with excellent video recording capabilities or who are willing to get into the iOS ecosystem. Some of its core flaws remain, such as a 60Hz refresh rate-only display, while the battery may not provide great endurance for users with heavy workloads.
Moving to the iPhone 16 Pro series, even in mid-2026, the iPhone 16 Pro should deliver excellent performance thanks to the A18 Pro chip, great camera capabilities with the addition of a 12MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, and years of software updates, including the upcoming iOS 27, which brings a host of performance and AI upgrades.
At Rs 76,999, the iPhone 16 Pro may not offer as high battery endurance as the newer Android flagships, such as the Vivo X300 FE and OnePlus 15, while the charging speeds may also be on the lower side. On the other hand, if you value high-quality video recordings, excellent social media apps compatibility, and the Apple ecosystem, it could be worth considering.
Before making a purchase, ensure the device comes with a proper warranty for a certain period. Since these are refurbished units, there’s always a chance they could develop unexpected faults or issues.
