Get your wallets ready! The highly anticipated iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are set to hit the market later this year, and they are expected to come with a hefty price tag. While Apple has yet to confirm the official prices for these new models, leaks and rumors have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
The current iPhone 15 Pro starts at $999 / £999 / AU$1,849, so it’s safe to assume that the iPhone 16 Pro will at least match that price point. However, with the rumored upgrades in store for the new models, including a larger screen, a new A18 Pro chipset, and enhanced camera lenses, it’s likely that the price will be even higher. In fact, some reports suggest that the cost of manufacturing the new camera lenses alone could drive up the price.
Despite the rising production costs, Apple has managed to keep the pricing of their previous models consistent. However, given the significant upgrades expected for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, a price hike seems inevitable. While it’s possible that the new models could start at around $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$1,999, don’t be surprised if they come with an even higher price tag.
As for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it’s expected to follow a similar pricing trend as the iPhone 16 Pro. With a larger 6.9-inch display, the same A18 Pro chipset, and upgraded cameras, including possibly a new ‘super telephoto’ snapper, the production costs for this model are likely to be higher. So, while the current iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1,199.99 / £1,199 / AU$2,199, the price for the iPhone 16 Pro Max could easily surpass that.
Whether you’re eyeing the iPhone 16 Pro or the Pro Max, get ready to shell out some serious cash for these cutting edge devices. Stay tuned for the official pricing announcement, expected to come before the iPhone 16 release date in September.
