iPhone 16 Launch Live Updates: Apple’s latest iPhone 16 series will make its debut at the ‘It’s Glowtime’ event. Like every year, Apple will launch four new iPhones this year: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The iPhone is expected to retain the same price tag as last year, with the 128GB variants likely to start from around €100. ₹65,000 ($799) and ₹74,000 ($899), respectively.
Design changes could include a vertical camera layout and new buttons, while the A18 chipset promises improved AI capabilities and enhanced camera features.
The Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 16 are expected to see significant improvements, particularly in the rear camera system, design, chipset, AI capabilities, battery life, and screen size. These improvements could potentially lead to higher prices for these models.
