iPhone 16 Launch Live Updates: Apple unveiled its iPhone 16 series at the ‘It’s Glowtime’ event. The Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled four new iPhone models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The new iPhone is built for generative artificial intelligence as it seeks to boost sales and show it is keeping up in the technology race.
The iPhone 16 has retained last year’s pricing, with the 128GB variants to start at approximately ₹65,000 ($799) and ₹74,000 ($899), respectively.
iPhone 16 could get a major design overhaul with a vertical camera layout, compared to diagonal camera setup from last year. The new upgrade is being touted as a way to help the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus help capture spatial video.
For the Pro and Pro Max models of iPhone 16, significant enhancements are expected, particularly in the rear camera system, design, chipset, AI capabilities, battery life, and display size. These improvements could potentially lead to higher prices for these models.

iPhone 16 Launch Live: What is the ‘Apple Intelligence’
In an attempt to set itself apart from the early leaders in AI, the technology being baked into the iPhone 16 is being promoted as “Apple Intelligence”.
Even so, Apple Intelligence is similar to the generically named AI already available on Google’s Pixel 9 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 released in January.
Most of Apple’s AI tasks will be performed on the iPhone itself instead of remote data centres — a distinction that requires a special processor within the forthcoming models and the high-end iPhone 15s that came out a year ago.
iPhone 16 Launch Live: iPhone 16 is 1st Apple phone to be tailored specifically for AI
The iPhone 16 is generating a bigger buzz because it is the first model to be tailored specifically for AI, a technology that is expected to trigger the biggest revolution in the industry since Jobs thrust Apple into the smartphone market 17 years ago.
The advances included in the iPhone 16 could set up Apple to be “the gatekeeper of the consumer AI revolution”, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote in a research note.
