Quick commerce platform Zepto will start selling Apple products, including the latest iPhone 16e, on its platform this week, according to people with direct knowledge of the development. The assortment will have iPads, Apple Watches and AirPods, among other accessories.

The company had temporarily offered iPhone 16 on its platform last year, when it was launched. 

In quick commerce, electronics have emerged as one of the fastest-growing categories. In this, mobile phones are among the most rapidly expanding. 

Premium electronics, like Apple products, offer quick commerce companies a chance to increase the AOVs, which would ultimately help them reduce the burn. According to estimates, Zepto is burning close to `300-350 crore per month.
