iPhone 16 lineup launched: Check Apple's iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max prices in India

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models are powered by the A18 chip, which allows Apple Intelligence capabilities. They have a bigger display and a vertical camera arrangement, a new Camera Control button, and an upgraded 48-megapixel main camera. The entry-level iPhone 16 starts at ₹79,900, and the 16 Plus at ₹89,900.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max

Powered by Apple's most powerful A18 Pro chip and built for Apple Intelligence, the Pro lineup offers a larger display, camera control, and improved battery life.

The new Pro models sport a new 48MP Fusion camera with a quicker quad-pixel sensor that allows 4K120 fps (Frames per second) video recording in Dolby Vision. Thus, they attain the highest resolution and frame-rate combination available on an iPhone.

Other features include:

• A new 48MP ultra-wide camera.
• A 5x telephoto camera.
• Studio-quality mics.
• A durable titanium design.

Available in four colours—natural titanium, black titanium, desert titanium, and white titanium—pre-orders will begin on September 13, and the product will be available from September 20.

"Powered by the faster, more efficient A18 Pro chip and built for Apple Intelligence, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are the most advanced iPhone models we've ever made," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.

The Apple Intelligence on the iPhone 16 lineup brings the power of Apple silicon and Apple-built generative models to understand and create language and images, accelerate everyday tasks, and take action across apps.

With systemwide Writing Tools, which allow rewriting, proofreading, and transforming text, users can make notes or emails more concise and professional; check for grammar, sentence structure, and word choice; and summarise selected text.

Users can record, transcribe, and summarise audio in the Notes and Phone applications. When on-call recording is initiated, participants are automatically notified, and once the call ends, a summary is generated to recall key points.

Users can now also create an original Genmoji by just typing a description, taking the emoji to an entirely new level.
