Apple iPhone 16 launch: India Price, full specifications by techtrick

The tech world is surely in for a storm once again with Apple launching the iPhone 16 series. Held at the very iconic Steve Jobs Theater, it showcased the latest in Apple's line of products. However, undeniably, the spotlight was snatched by the iPhone 16.

Display and Design
The iPhone 16 comes with the same screen size as before, but with far more durability thanks to the second gen Ceramic Shield. But, in contrast and perhaps a great disappointment to many the refresh rate of the screen still doesn't go above 60Hz, not to mention 120Hz support.

It has, however, done some catching up in performance. It features the A18 Bionic chip, which offers a 30% boost in performances from its predecessor. This 3nm chip is also 30% more efficient in power usage, which, of course means better battery life. While Apple hasn't revealed the exact battery capacity, that increased efficiency must ultimately translate into longer usage.

Camera capabilities
The primary camera of the iPhone 16 is 48MP, with the ultrawide lens at 12MP. The ultrawide lens now comes equipped with autofocus, hence working as a macro camera capturing very detailed close-up photos and videos.

Now, videographers will appreciate the fact that the iPhone 16 offers capable 4K recording at 60FPS from non-Pro models. There's also Apple's Action button and Capture Control that are handy for you to easily switch between camera modes, among several other controls.

iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max: A step forward
The Pros bring a number of exciting upgrades: the bezels have become thinner, allowing the display size to go up a bit-6.3" for the Pros and 6.9" for the Pro Max-design has also been refreshed a bit with more curved edges and new finishes.

Performance-wise, the A18 Pro Bionic chip pushes the limits with a 30% increase in CPU performance and a 40% increase in GPU performance. The 16-core NPU does 35 trillion operations per second. It is a huge jump, especially for gaming, which was emphasized highly during its launch.

The other major point to talk about is the move to USB Type-C Gen 3 that permits fast data transfer in the Pros.

Pro camera system
The camera system in Pro models is updated this time, particularly with:

48MP primary sensor
48MP ultra-wide-angle lens with auto-focus
12MP telephoto lens with 5X zoom- offered in both Pro and Pro Max

Apple has also introduced ProRes video recording in 4K at 120FPS in RAW and LOG modes, making the iPhone 16 Pro a good weapon for content creators.

Action button and capture controls
Another new action button on both Pro and non-Pro varieties provides options to assign shortcuts and capture controls, thereby affording even greater flexibility in the control of photography and videography settings. In total, there are 4 microphones on the Pro variant for studio-quality audio capture.

Battery life and charging
Battery life has been improved all-round, and even the new iPhone 16 Pro models support faster charging. These new charging capabilities will charge your device up to 80% in just 30 minutes.

Price in India
the base model of the iPhone 16 starts at ₹80,000, and the base variant of the iPhone 16 Pro starts at ₹1,20,000. The price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max in the 256GB storage variant is ₹1,45,000.

Conclusion
The iPhone 16 series packages incremental upgrades with massive boosts in performance, particularly the introduction of the A18 Pro chip and enhanced camera features and the inclusion of USB-C. While some features, like a 60Hz display, will leave users wanting more, Apple continues to drive the envelope in terms of power and performance and camera innovation.
