The launch of the iPhone 15 has led to unprecedented discounts on older models the iPhone 13 and 14 across e-commerce platforms such as Flipkart and Amazon. The lowest offer being on the iPhone 13, now available on Flipkart for Rs 52,499, while Amazon offers the iPhone 14 at a reduced price of Rs 62,999.
Apple store workers in France went on strike nationwide to protest against pay and working conditions, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 15. The strike comes after Apple was forced to stop selling the iPhone 12 model in France due to radiation concerns. The unions are demanding a 7% wage increase to compensate for inflation and an end to a hiring freeze, while management is only offering a 4.5% increase. Workers at an Apple store in Barcelona are also planning to protest against poor working conditions.
It is the latest headache for the tech giant in France after it was forced to stop selling its iPhone 12 model earlier this month for above-threshold radiation. Apple disputes the findings of the French watchdog.
