iPhone 17 Launch Makes iPhone 16 and 16 Plus More Affordable in India
With the launch of the iPhone 17 series and its availability for pre-orders, Apple has quietly reduced the prices of the older iPhone 16 models, offering a great opportunity for those looking to buy them through official channels.
While much of the buzz has been around the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro series—especially the eye-catching orange and blue variants—the iPhone 16 remains a popular choice. Its combination of features and future Apple AI support makes it even more appealing at the new, lower price.
iPhone 16 and 16 Plus Price in India
- iPhone 16: Now starts at ₹69,900 for the 128GB model, down ₹10,000 from its original price. Other storage options may be available on third-party platforms.
- iPhone 16 Plus: The 128GB variant is priced at ₹79,900, while the 256GB model costs ₹89,900, reflecting a ₹10,000 cut from Apple. Prices on other platforms may vary in the coming weeks.
Apple’s official price drop could coincide with additional discounts during upcoming sales, making it worthwhile to wait if you’re planning a purchase.
Features of iPhone 16 Series
- Display: iPhone 16 comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina OLED screen, while the 16 Plus has a larger display, making it slightly heavier.
- Build & Performance: Both feature a sleek glass body and are powered by the A18 chipset with 8GB RAM, offering up to 512GB storage.
- Camera: Dual rear cameras (48MP + 12MP) and a 12MP front FaceTime camera.
- Extras: Apple AI features will roll out in 2026, and the phones support 25W wired charging.
With these price cuts, the iPhone 16 series presents an attractive option for users who want premium Apple features without paying the full flagship price.
