We asked you, our dear readers, to tell us what you'd do with Rs 80,500 (the cost of the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus).
You can post your suggestions right here!
Meanwhile here are some of the best responses so far:
1. Book a flat!
Arvindakshan Menon advises:
"Invest the money in shares of highly performing companies or book an under-construction flat.
Use a Micromax-type phone with 1 or 2GB RAM and above 1.2GHz pro with Android 4.4 for just 10K."

2. Invest in a fixed deposit. Buy a new phone every year! :-)
Jinu Varghese says:
"I will deposit Rs 80,500 in a fixed deposit @ 12 per cent and buy every year new phone worth Rs 10,000 every year!" :-)

"I will buy a Moto G for 14,000 and donate 64,500 to (the) Akshayapatra (midday meal scheme)."
