The iPhone 16 series debuted on Friday in India alongside other international markets. While many people rushed to retail outlets to get their hands on the new iPhone, swift e-commerce platforms such as Blinkit, BigBasket, and Zepto hit the scene, allowing buyers to get the handset in 10 minutes. To begin with Blinkit, the e-commerce site is working with Unicorn, an authorized Apple reseller, to ship the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Pune from Blinkit, with a 10-minute delivery window. It is also offering an instant rebate of Rs. 5,000 on credit cards from ICICI Bank, SBI, and Kotak Mahindra Bank.

The company intends to make the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max available for purchase on the platform in the coming days.

Another massive e-commerce company, BigBasket, which is owned by Tata, began shipping iPhone 16 (both standard and models) in Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, and Mumbai regions in less than ten minutes. Co-founder of BigBasket Hari Menon reported that the company's first order was delivered in seven minutes. Zepto, another key player in the industry, is also a part of the race.

It is noteworthy that the entry-level iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models are available from fast e-commerce platforms. There is currently no immediate delivery option for the Pro models or higher storage options.
