Flipkart’s Big Billion Days 2025 SAIL, which is live for plus and black members from 22 September and is open to all from September 23, the orders of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are creating resentment when the orders of the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro are causing resentment. Thousands of curious buyers placed orders in the greed of heavy discounts, but after a few hours later – an automatic cancellation was reported – which spread widespread claims of “scam” on social media.

The price of iPhone 16 (128GB) was stated to be ₹ 51,999 – which is ₹ 79,900 MRP to ₹ 27,901 less – while the price of iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) decreased from ₹ 1,19,900 to ₹ 69,999. The initial buyers bought units quickly, but many people received notice of “payment failure” or “stock finish”, while after the cancellation, the prices of iPhone 16 allegedly increased to ₹ 69,999 and PRO to ₹ 1,19,999. Flipkart described more demand and stock limit as a problem, but users are describing it as traffic enhancing gimmicks, and some have to see the flag of “bulk order” on the same purchase.

Neitizons tweeted on X: “Big Billion Fraud! Payment was confirmed, then canceled,” @comradepralav tweeted, which requested to file a complaint with the Consumer Forum, repeating @itspmaheshwari’s sentiments. After the disappearance of two iPhone orders, @Backtorule angrily said, “What a scam is this?” Members of the plus questioned membership benefits by members like @RahulSA19287238, while @Carahul_ exposed disturbances in GST claims which increased the prices of order again. A user expressed grief over the cancellation of the iPhone 16 six times and called it “The Big Billion Scam”.

The iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display, titanium frame, 16-core neural engine A18 Pro Chip and 4K 120FPS video supporting 48MP triple-camera system. It has a 27-hour video playback, IP68 water resistance and USB-C connectivity with 20 times faster-which is ideal for AI-Enhanced features like Apple Intelligence.

Flipkart has not given any official reaction yet, but the refund process is going on rapidly. Since the cell will continue till October 2, experts are advising to check stock and use options such as Amazon’s Great Indian Festival for similar deals. This disturbance is the risk of low confidence in festive e-commerce, which outlines the need for transparent inventory management.
