A recent iPhone 16 price leak suggests that three out of the four upcoming models will maintain the same pricing as the iPhone 15 series. However, the iPhone 16 Pro is set to see a price increase, reportedly to account for its enhanced features.
According to regular tipster Apple Hub, the leaked prices and specs for the iPhone 16 series indicate that while most models will retain their previous generation prices, the iPhone 16 Pro will increase by $100, rising from $999 to $1,099. This 10% hike reflects the significant upgrades the 16 Pro will offer, such as the inclusion of a telephoto lens and a new base storage of 256GB. These enhancements will help the iPhone 16 Pro compete with the best Android phones, many of which already feature advanced telephoto capabilities.
| Model | Expected Price | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 16 | $799 | 6.1-inch display, A18 chipset, AI compatibility |
| iPhone 16 Plus | $899 | 6.7-inch display, A18 chipset, AI compatibility |
| iPhone 16 Pro | $1,099 | 6.3-inch display, 256GB storage, telephoto lens, WiFi 7 |
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | $1,199 | 6.9-inch display, 256GB storage, telephoto lens, WiFi 7 |
The iPhone 16 is expected to start at $799, the Plus model at $899, and the Pro Max at $1,199. The specs leaked by Apple Hub align with previous reports, including the iPhone 16 Pro’s upgraded dimensions of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches for the Pro Max. Additionally, both Pro models will feature WiFi 7, making the iPhone 16 Pro an excellent choice for gaming, thanks to its larger screen, ample storage, and fast connectivity.
All four models are rumored to support Apple Intelligence, powered by the A18 chipset or a modified Pro version. With Apple focusing on AI to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy AI, it’s expected that the new flagships will include this feature. However, Apple has delayed the launch of its AI functionalities, so they may not be available at the iPhone 16’s release.
These stable prices leave room in your budget for the best iPhone accessories, or you might consider waiting for the next generation after hearing the iPhone 17 rumors. Either way, the official iPhone 16 launch is highly anticipated, and we look forward to seeing what Apple has planned.
