Is it any good?
Spec score: 74 out of 100
Apple's wide service network in India protects your resale value well. While the 128 GB storage fills up quickly if you shoot a lot of video, the raw processing power handles daily tasks with ease.
What works
- The A18 processor handles heavy daily tasks without stuttering.
- 5G connectivity keeps your internet speeds fast on modern networks.
- A massive 32% discount drops the price significantly from the MRP.
What does not
- The 128 GB storage fills up fast if you store many large videos.
- Limited storage space means you may need paid cloud backup soon.

Spec scores — worked out from the specification sheet (chip, battery against screen size, display, camera, ANC…) and the store price, not from hands-on testing. Sound quality and a watch's accuracy are not on a spec sheet, so part of those areas is the price class among similar products. Areas the specs cannot tell us are left out.
