Apple’s recent Glowtime event brought a fresh wave of excitement with the official launch of the iPhone 16 series. As expected, it’s already creating a buzz among tech enthusiasts ready for an upgrade, especially in India where pricing and offers have made the latest models more appealing than ever.
iPhone 16 Series India Pricing: From Base to Beast
Apple continues its tiered approach with the latest lineup, offering something for everyone:
-
The iPhone 16 starts at ₹79,900
-
The larger iPhone 16 Plus is priced at ₹89,900
-
The premium iPhone 16 Pro costs ₹1,19,900

And the top-tier iPhone 16 Pro Max comes in at ₹1,44,900
If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your phone, these new models — especially with their advanced features — are definitely worth a look.
Flipkart’s Exchange Offer: Big Savings on iPhone 16 Pro Max
Now here’s where it gets even more interesting for Indian buyers. Flipkart’s trade-in program is making it a lot easier to afford these high-end devices. For example, the iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB, Black Titanium) is already listed at a reduced price of ₹1,32,900 on Flipkart.
But it gets better — if you have an iPhone 15 Pro in good working condition, you can exchange it and get a discount of ₹45,900. That brings the final price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max down to just ₹87,000. For anyone looking to upgrade, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen so far — especially for enthusiasts ready for an upgrade who want the very best Apple has to offer.

Biggest iPhone Display Yet
The iPhone 16 Pro Max now features a 6.9-inch screen — the biggest display Apple has ever put on an iPhone. With slimmer bezels, a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, and always-on display support, the visual experience is smoother and more immersive than ever before. The phone weighs around 227 grams, which is impressive considering the larger screen.
The Powerful A18 Pro Chipset Under the Hood
Apple’s brand-new A18 Pro chipset is a serious performance upgrade. Built on second-generation 3nm technology, it includes a 6-core GPU that delivers 20% faster graphics than last year’s A17 Pro. With two performance cores and four efficiency cores, the processor is not just faster (by 15%) but also uses 20% less power.
And that’s not all — this chip supports next-gen machine learning, faster USB 3 speeds for data transfer, and top-tier ProRes video recording features. Whether you’re a gamer, content creator, or multitasker, this phone is more than ready.
Pro-Level Camera Setup for Creators
The camera upgrades are one of the standout features this year. The iPhone 16 Pro Max comes with a new 48MP fusion camera that uses a second-gen quad-pixel sensor. This means no more shutter lag when clicking 48MP photos in ProRAW or HEIF format.
You also get a 48MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, a 12MP standard sensor, and a 5x telephoto lens with a 120mm focal length. And if you shoot videos, there’s now support for 4K120 recording — perfect for high-quality slow-motion shots.
Smarter Audio for Better Recordings
Apple has added smarter sound recording features too. With Spatial Audio capture, your videos sound more immersive. The new Audio Mix feature can separate background noise from voices using machine learning, while In-frame mix focuses only on the voice of the person who’s in the frame. The result? Studio-like sound quality without any editing.
Battery Life That Goes the Distance
Although Apple hasn’t revealed the exact battery capacity, the company claims this is the longest-lasting battery on any iPhone yet. Thanks to the efficiency of the A18 Pro and some behind-the-scenes power management improvements, the iPhone 16 Pro Max should comfortably last you through a full day — and then some.
