Apple iPhone 16 VS Oneplus 12 |
iPhone 16 made its debut at the Apple Glowtime event 2024 on September 9 and it went on sale in India on September 20. It has been almost a month since the users have got their hands on the smallest and most affordable model among the four iPhones announced by Apple this year. I also moved from my Apple iPhone 15 to the new iPhone 16 around the same time. It is priced the same as its predecessor but the new iPhone 16 comes with a range of upgrades and improvements. The model is also the closest a standard iPhone has been to the ‘Pro’ models. Carrying Apple’s brand value, flagship level performance and being the most affordable in the range, the iPhone 16 is still reportedly not getting the expected response from the customers. I have been using the iPhone 15 for the past one year and last month I switched to the new iPhone 16. After using the latest iPhone for around the month, here is what I think of the new iPhone 16.
iPhone 16 was launched on September 9 at the Apple “Its GlowTime’ event. Alongside the vanilla model, Apple also announced the iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max in its flagship segment. With the iPhone 16, Apple has integrated a new design, a new A18 chipset, a Camera Control button, and more new features. Additionally, it's the first AI iPhone launched by the tech giant as soon as the smartphone will be capable of conducting AI-related tasks with upcoming Apple Intelligence. The iPhone 16 comes in three storage variants: 128GB, 256GB and 512GB which are priced at Rs.79900, Rs.89900, and Rs.109900 respectively. The new generation iPhone will be available for pre-order on September 13 and the sale will go live on September 20. With the launch, Apple is expected to ship around 90 million units of the iPhone 16 series. Know what the new Apple iPhone 16 has to offer
