The launch of the iPhone 16 series is quickly approaching, with the new handsets set to be unveiled at Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event on September 9, 2024. These devices will succeed the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models.
The iPhone 16 is expected to bring more significant changes compared to its predecessor, making it an exciting release. Here, we have compiled all the major news, leaks, and reports about the upcoming iPhone 16. Let’s dive in.
iPhone 16: Release Date
Preorders for the new phones typically open on the Friday following the announcement, with availability set for the following Friday. If the September 9 announcement holds, we can expect preorders to start on September 13 and general availability on September 20.
With iPhone sales experiencing a 10% decline earlier in the year, Apple is pinning its hopes on the iPhone 16 to drive a sales rebound for the remainder of 2024. This is expected to be fueled by new Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.
iPhone 16: Possible Price
While there was anticipation for a price increase in the iPhone 15 lineup, it did not materialize except for the iPhone 15 Pro Max model, starting at $1,200 for the 256GB version. Apple absorbed higher production costs for the iPhone 15 components, but a slight increase in prices for all iPhone 16 models is expected for 2024.
The extent of this possible price increase is yet to be revealed.
