iPhone 16 Pro Price Expected to Stay the Same, But Feature Upgrades Are Anticipated

Apple started a new trend of super-high-end flagship phones when they launched the iPhone X at a starting price of $999. The larger Max variants since then have pushed the price even further. Despite numerous iPhone updates, the smaller Pro versions have consistently remained under the $999 mark, even in the face of many rumors. According to the latest reports, the iPhone 16 Pro base model's price is expected to stay the same, meaning consumers will be able to get more upgraded features at a lower price.

For instance, the iPhone 16 Pro will feature a periscope telephoto lens without any additional cost. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg updated the information about the iPhone 16 Pro pricing on X, predicting that Apple will continue its usual practice of launching two high-end models. However, this year's launch will have some differences.

Firstly, the iPhone 16 Pro will feature a periscope telephoto lens. We previously reported that the telephoto lens hardware from last year's iPhone 15 Pro Max will be applied to both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max this year. While this means both high-end models will have periscope zoom lenses, the specs will remain largely unchanged.

Furthermore, the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro will be increased, but the bezels are expected to be significantly thinner. It is rumored that Apple has adopted "shrinking bezel construction" technology to achieve this. All iPhone 16 models will feature a touch-based camera capture button, while the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 10% larger battery capacity, potentially leading to improved battery life.

This launch will undoubtedly bring many exciting new features. However, the latest rumors suggest that Apple's primary focus will be on artificial intelligence and the A18 Pro chip.
