iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max—Apple’s flagship smartphones for the remainder of this year and much of 2025—have arrived. As successors to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, these devices offer a host of improvements, building on features introduced last year, such as Spatial Video and enhanced 4K slow-motion capabilities. Importantly, they also come with a price drop for the Indian market.

Additionally, Apple has increased the screen sizes, with the iPhone 16 Pro now featuring a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max gets a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display, the largest in iPhone history.
