With the iPhone 16, Apple has taken its standard smartphone and elevated it to new heights. As you'll read in our iPhone 16 review, the addition of new buttons, new software, and a redesigned camera bump make Apple's latest base model a worthy upgrade over the already excellent iPhone 15.

Apple's latest Plus model bridges the gap between affordability and premium features, offering a compelling choice for those seeking a large-screen iPhone experience.

Additionally, memory and storage upgrades in the iPhone 16 series have contributed to the overall expense. The cost of memory in the iPhone 16 Pro Max increased from $9 for 6GB in the iPhone 15 Pro Max to $17 for 8GB in the new model. Similarly, storage components rose by $5, pushing their cost to $22.

When it comes to colors, the iPhone 16 Pro gets the more professional selection of the two devices, while the iPhone 16’s equivalent feels more fun. The latter phone is available in Ultramarine, Teal, Pink, White, and Black, while the Pro ships in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and Desert Titanium.

The iPhone 16 starts at Rs 79,900 and while it might seem a lot of money to many, it offers really good value.

A YouTube modder has made a transparent version of the iPhone 16 Pro –and it's a taste of what the series is missing.
