Apple iPhone 16 has arrived, and here’s everything you need to know about its release date, colors, price, and a lot more.
September 2024 has been the most-awaited month for Apple users as the tech giant finally revealed its next generation of smartphones, the 16 series.
iPhone 16 release date
Apple officially released the iPhone 16 series on September 9, 2024. It will be available starting September 20, with the pre-orders starting from September 13.
The much-awaited AI features in iOS 18 won’t be coming at launch with Apple delaying its release.
How much does the iPhone 16 cost?
The base 128GB variant of the iPhone 16 starts at $799 and there are two more storage options available. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the pricing:
| Storage option | Price |
|---|---|
| 128 GB | $799 (INR 79,900) |
| 256 GB | $899 (INR 89,900) |
| 512 GB | $1,099 (INR 1,09,900) |
This model doesn’t come with the 1 TB storage options and that’s reserved for the Pro and Pro Max models only.
If you’re eager to skip this one and opt for the better models, you can check the pricing of 16 Pro Max and 16 Plus.
Camera details
The 16 series (base and Plus) comes with a 48MP camera with a vertical layout that makes shooting Spatial photos and videos seamless. You get a 4x optimal zoom range that focuses on Macro photography, something an enthusiast would be happy about.
Apple has introduced a new Camera Control button on the right side of the panel, below the Power button, and it brings a whole new dynamic to the system.
All colors available in the base variant
Like the 16 Plus, the base model also has these color options:
- Black
- White
- Pink
- Teal
- Ultramarine
Unlike last year, the colors are way more vibrant this time and can easily catch an eye, thanks to the vertical camera layout as well.
