Apple infused its take on GenAI, what it calls Apple Intelligence, to take the fight to the competition with its new iPhone 16 series announced on Monday at the “It’s Glowtime” event at its headquarters in Cupertino. The tech giant ushered in upgrades to its Apple Watch and AirPods, while announcing software enhancements that help with accessibility, especially for those with hearing difficulties.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series, maintaining last year's pricing except for a ₹15,000 drop for the Pro models.
All four iPhones 16 are currently available for pre-order and will be available for purchase starting September 20.
However, if you're in India, the prices may give you a bit of sticker shock.
