Apple launched its iPhone 16 series in September last year, but the flagship smartphone is now getting a significant discount during the Republic Day Sale, similar to the OnePlus 13 that was launched on ₹69,999 for the base variant. Since the two phones are priced similarly, here's a detailed comparison between the two flagship devices.
iPhone 16 price reduction in India:
iPhone 16 is priced at ₹69,999 for the 128GB variant on Flipkart during the Republic Day sale. Notably, the phone was launched at ₹79,900 in September and is currently the cheapest iPhone that supports iOS 18's new AI features called Apple Intelligence. OnePlus 13 also starts at a price of ₹69,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage model.
iPhone 16 specifications:
iPhone 16 received a major processor boost and comes with the new A18 chipset. The latest chipset runs on 3nm technology with a 6-core CPU, including 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. Apple says the iPhone 16 models have a 30% faster CPU and 40% faster GPU than its predecessor, while also remaining more power efficient.
iPhone 16 also features the Action Button, which was reserved for the Pro series until last year. The new button allows users to access a variety of features at the touch of a button, including opening the camera, flashlight, activating voice memos, translate, magnifier and more.
There's also a new 'Camera Control' on all four iPhone 16 models, which is Apple's way of adding a new touch-sensitive button that can be used to launch the Camera app, take photos and videos, zoom in and out on photos, and adjust other settings such as exposure and depth of field.
iPhone 16 runs on the latest iOS 18 and supports the latest Apple Intelligence features such as Genmoji and Image Playground. While Apple hasn't officially revealed this, reports suggest that the iPhone 16 will come with RAM like the Pro variants to support the new AI features.
OnePlus 13 specifications:
OnePlus 13 features a 6.82-inch 120Hz ProXDR LPTO 4.1 AMOLED display with 4,500 nits peak brightness (1,600 nits in high brightness mode). The OnePlus 13 deviates from the curved display of its predecessor and features a quad-curved display with ceramic glass protection on top.
The new OnePlus flagship is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with support for 12/16/24 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB/512 GB/1 TB UFS 4.0 storage.
The OnePlus 13 has a massive 6,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. OnePlus launches new magnetic cases for the OnePlus 13 and a compatible AIRVOOC magnetic charger for iPhone-like MagSafe charging.
OnePlus 13 features a 50-megapixel triple camera setup with Hasselblad branding, including a Sony LYT-808 primary shooter, a Sony LYT 600 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor ultra-wide-angle shooter. While the primary and telephoto lenses support both OIS and EIS, the ultra-wide angle lens only offers EIS. On the front, there is a 32MP Sony IMX615 shooter for selfies and video calling.
OnePlus 13 runs on the latest OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 and the company promises 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates with the smartphone.
OnePlus' new flagship comes with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, an upgrade from the optical sensor seen on the OnePlus 12. The new smartphone also comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, which means the OnePlus 13 can withstand immersion in a maximum depth of 1.5 meters. 30 minutes and high temperature water jets from all directions.
Which phone should you buy?
OnePlus 13 offers many advantages over the iPhone, including a much larger 6,000 mAh battery, faster 100W charging, a better display with a higher 120 Hz refresh rate and a telephoto lens. However, the iPhone 16 comes with longer software support, an equally powerful processor, support for Apple's AI features, and runs iOS 18.
The choice is simple: Apple fanatics really only have one option in this price range, and that's the iPhone 16. But if you can live with the Android ecosystem, a little bloatware and slightly shorter software support, then OnePlus is the one for the obvious choice. this price range.
