Apple Confirms Special Event Date for iPhone 16 Release on a Surprise New Date
The Silicon company has confirmed it will release the iPhone 16 series on 9 September 2024 at Apple Park, Cupertino, California. The streamed live event will feature four models: the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Notable features of the lineup are going to be the new vertically oriented camera setup for the standard models and upgraded A18 Pro chipsets for the Pros. Other than that, all of them most probably will adopt the Action Button first seen in the Pro models, and some other advanced AI capabilities that will be a result of fusion with iOS 18.
## Are there any rumors on how much is the iPhone 16 is going to cost?
-Yes, there are many speculations regarding the price at which each model of the iPhone 16 is going to sell.
#iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus
The price, starting for the model iPhone 16, is speculated to be $799—precisely the price that was for the iPhone 15.
The starting price for the iPhone 16 Plus, too, is going to be $899—the same starting price as for the iPhone 15 Plus.
#iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
The base price for the model, however, will be close to $1,099, the same price as the launch price of the iPhone 15 Pro.
While most people assume the same price tag for the new iPhone 16 Pro Max as its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which was priced at a base of $1,199, some rumormongers speculate that with increasing production costs and the use of even higher-end components, such as higher-end camera lenses, the prices might inflate a little. It could also point to new features, such as improved AI capabilities, in an attempt to justify the increase in price.
At the very least, an iPhone 16 series should be no cheaper than its iPhone 15 series brethren, with at least a $100 price hike in the Pro models. That said, Apple will probably try not to increase too many of its prices, given the state of the economy the world is in.
## Will the prices of the iPhone 16 increase compared to the iPhone 15?
The latest rumors suggest that iPhone 16 prices are going to go higher than the 15th model. Though the starting price for regular models may stay at $799, Pro models may go as high as $1,099 from the initial $999 of the iPhone 15 Pro. Factors that could have triggered this probable increase in price include production cost increases and incorporating components of a higher degree, especially in the Pros, that justify the price increase.
## Any Rumors for Discounts or Promotion wise Apple is Offering anything on iPhone 16
-Some of the rumors floating around regarding discounts and promotions on iPhone 16 are:
#Trade-in Rebates
Apple, along with some significant carriers in the US, will offer a trade-in rebate of $500-600 off on the unlocked models of the iPhone 16.
US carrier deals may give $1,000 off but will likely require expensive 2-3 year plans
#Free Devices with Unlimited Plans
Some carriers like Verizon may offer the standard iPhone 16 for free when you open a new unlimited plan line
In years past, carriers have thrown in free iPads and Apple Watches when buying an iPhone – though you typically have to establish other cellular lines for those devices
#UK Pricing and Deals
In the UK, Apple will likely give up to £600 off unlocked iPhone 16 models through its trade-in program
Major UK carriers like Vodafone, EE and Three are going to offer their own trade-in discounts and plan bundles, where typical savings for the plan can be £200-300.
However, the overall price range of the iPhone 16 series is likely to remain close to the iPhone 15 series, starting at $799 for regular ones and going up all the way to $999 or even $1,099 in the case of a Pro Max model. Apple may also be treading carefully on increasing the prices too much as the current economic scenario is not that good.
##Will there be any discounts available from Apple for students or employees on the iPhone 16?
Apple offers its student discount all year round for university students, teachers, and school staff. That typically ranges between 10% and 15% off on different products, including iPhones, though no concrete detail for the iPhone 16 has been confirmed yet. They sometimes offer gift cards during promotional events, like “Back to School”; for example, $100 with the purchase of an iPad or $150 when buying a Mac. Employees at Apple also get discounts by using their Employee Purchase Plan, which varies by product.
