    Apple iPhone 16: Why are there price differences?

    The price differences across countries for the iPhone 16 series can be attributed to several factors:

    • Taxes and import duties
    Many countries, such as India and those in the European Union, impose high taxes and import duties on electronic goods. This results in a higher retail price for the iPhone 16 in those regions compared to countries with lower or no import duties.


    • Currency fluctuations
    Exchange rates play a crucial role in determining iPhone prices in different countries. Apple adjusts its pricing to maintain profitability across regions with varying currency strengths. For instance, a country with a weaker currency may see higher prices due to fluctuations in exchange rates.

On the other hand, the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will maintain the same screen sizes as their predecessors but will feature slight design tweaks such as a new vertical camera layout and additional physical buttons.

    For the Pro models, photography capabilities are expected to be significantly improved, with the inclusion of a 48MP Ultra Wide camera and a Tetraprism 5x optical zoom lens.
