New Features and Designs The iPhone 16 series showcases significant updates, including advanced software features driven by Apple Intelligence AI, along with hardware improvements. The standard iPhone 16 models now come in new, vibrant colors, replacing last year's pastel shades. The iPhone 16 Pro models feature a striking new Desert Titanium finish, a blend of gold and brown, which is expected to attract many buyers.

Pre-Order Information Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 series—iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max—will begin at 5:30 pm IST on September 13 via the Apple India website.

Alternatively, you can reserve a unit by contacting local Apple resellers or third-party retail partners. However, be cautious of bundled offers that might include expensive accessories.
