As Apple prepares for its highly anticipated ‘Glow Time’ event on September 9 at 10:30 PM IST, excitement is mounting for the new iPhone 16 series. With official pricing expected to be revealed soon, recent leaks provide a glimpse into the potential costs for the 2024 iPhone models, sparking interest among prospective buyers, especially those watching their budgets.

According to recent leaks, the base model of the iPhone 16 may start at around $799, which is approximately Rs.67,100. The iPhone 16 Plus, with its larger screen, could be priced at about $899, or roughly Rs.75,500. The iPhone 16 Pro, featuring advanced specifications, might come with a price tag of $1,099, equivalent to around Rs.92,300 for the 256GB variant. The high-end iPhone 16 Pro Max could be priced at $1,199, translating to approximately Rs.1,00,700 for the same storage capacity.

These figures reflect anticipated prices in the US market. Typically, Apple’s devices are priced higher in India, and this trend is expected to continue with the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are likely to be priced similarly to the iPhone 15 series, given that their upgrades may be modest. In contrast, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature significant improvements in areas such as camera technology, design, chipset, AI capabilities, battery life, and display size. These enhancements might lead to a higher price point for these models.

Further insights suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro models might include advanced molded glass lenses, aiming to make the devices lighter, thinner, and to improve optical zoom. These high-end components are likely to increase manufacturing costs, which could, in turn, make the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max more expensive compared to their predecessors.

While exact pricing remains to be confirmed, the advanced features and rising production costs indicate that Indian consumers may face higher prices when the iPhone 16 series officially launches.
