In the last one week, several new gadgets were introduced in the tech world. The IFA 2016 (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin) event in Berlin saw major brands such as Acer, Samsung, Fitbit and Lenovo unveil their upcoming products across different verticals.
In another part of the world, Apple showed off two new iPhones, the next generation of the Apple Watch and wireless earphones that work with the iPhones.
Every time a product line-up is upgraded, or even a newer version is announced, that seems to be a cue for online sellers to start offering discounts on older ones. Here are some of the gadgets which you can get at a lower price due to discounts or exchange offers on them. And as a cascading effect, rival products also see price cuts.
Here are some interesting deals you can take advantage of right now.
