Important Note: It’s highly unlikely you can buy an iPhone for Rs 1. The articles you’ve seen mentioning this likely refer to contests or lucky draws where you might have a chance to win a prize for a symbolic amount. The real-world deals during the Amazon Great Indian Festival will involve significant discounts, bank offers, and exchange bonuses, but not a price of Rs 1.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to try and win an iPhone through the Amazon Great Indian Festival contests and how to get the absolute lowest price possible on an iPhone during the sale.
How to Try and “Win” an iPhone at Rs 1 (or for free)
This is all about luck, but you can increase your chances by following the steps to enter the contests.
Step 1: Download and Use the Amazon App:
These contests are almost always exclusive to the Amazon mobile app. Make sure you have the latest version installed on your smartphone.
Step 2: Find the “FunZone”:
During the Great Indian Festival, Amazon’s app will have a dedicated section called “FunZone.” You can usually find a banner for it on the main page. This is where all the contests and games are hosted.
Step 3: Locate the “Spin & Win” or “Quiz” Contest:
Look for a banner or game icon specifically mentioning the iPhone. It might be called “Spin & Win,” “Answer & Win,” or something similar. For the Great Indian Festival 2025, the prize is an iPhone 16 Pro.

Step 4: Follow the Instructions:
Spin & Win: If it’s a “Spin & Win,” you will get one chance to spin a virtual wheel. The pointer must land on the “iPhone” slice.
Qualifying Question: After spinning, you’ll be asked a simple qualifying question. You must answer this correctly and often within a time limit to be entered into the lucky draw.
Lucky Draw: Even if you answer correctly, you are only entering a draw of lots. This means a winner will be randomly selected from all the people who completed the steps correctly.
Step 5: Check for Winner Announcements:
The contest terms will specify a “winner announcement date.” Check the “Winners” section on the Amazon app (usually at www.amazon.in/winners) to see if your name is on the list.
How to Actually Get the Lowest Price on an iPhone
While the Rs 1 prize is a long shot, you can save a significant amount of money and get the lowest possible price on an iPhone during the sale. This is a much more reliable strategy.

Example for iPhone 16 Pro:
Original Price: Rs 1,19,900
Sale Discount: The price might drop to around Rs 1,07,900.
Exchange Bonus: You could get up to Rs 45,400 off by exchanging an old, eligible phone.
Bank Offer: An additional 10% instant discount with the partner bank’s credit card.
Amazon Pay ICICI Card: An extra discount might be available.
By combining all these offers, the effective price can come down significantly, sometimes to a price that seems unbelievable, like Rs 57,105, as some reports are suggesting for the iPhone 16 Pro. This is the “real-world” equivalent of winning a deal.
