Apple's iPhone 16 series is about to be released, and there are still four models available this year, namely the iPhone 16 Standard, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. According to the news compiled by the source @Apple Hub, the prices of the four new phones are expected to be the same as their predecessors.
Among them, the iPhone 16 Standard and 16 Plus will be available in three storage variants: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, with starting prices of $799 and $899, respectively. If the original price of the Bank of China version is also maintained, it will start at 5999 yuan and 6999 yuan respectively.
The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, start at 256GB and start at $1,099 and $1,199, respectively. This wave of operation is the same as last year's 15 Pro Max, not from 128GB to 256GB, but directly cut the 128GB version.
The price of the national bank may start at 8999 yuan and 9999 yuan, although it is not a price increase compared to the previous generation, but due to the cancellation of the 128GB version, the entry threshold this time has become higher. In addition, there is also news that there is a good chance that the two Pro models will be added with a 2TB version this year.
Take the previous generation iPhone 15 Pro series as an example, the price difference between 256GB-512GB and 512GB-1TB is 2000 yuan. If there is really a 2TB version of the iPhone 16 Pro series this year, then the top model may be 15999 yuan, or even higher......
In addition, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max can bring larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens without significant changes in size, as their screen bezels are about 33% narrower than their predecessors.
Judging by the exposed data, the thickness of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max has not changed, and the width has increased slightly a little, which is really not a big change. However, the height of the body has been increased by about 3mm, so it may be visually a little more slender than the previous generation.
In addition to that, the 16 Pro series will also support 4K 120fps video recording. For reference, the previous generation could only record at up to 4K 60fps, so this is also good news for students who like to shoot videos. On one point, the addition of 2TB is also a real possibility.
In short, the starting price of the iPhone 16 standard version is expected to be the same as its predecessor, but because it still does not support high brushing this time, the product power will not be greatly improved. The iPhone 16 Pro has been adjusted to start at 256GB, so the starting price has become higher, or 8999 yuan.
For the original 128GB users, the threshold for replacement this year has also become higher. Do you think it's a pity that the 128GB version was axed?
