iPhone 16 Prototype Reveals New Camera Design and Functional Upgrades

Highlight 

  • The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will feature a dual-camera system with a vertical alignment.
  • The phone will get an upgraded ultra-wide camera, and support for macro photography.
  • The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have a triple-camera setup with a new 5X telephoto lens and an upgraded ultra-wide lens with pixel-binning technology.
  • All models will include a capacitive capture button for improved camera control.

All rumours suggest the iPhone 16 series is going to debut in the global market on 10th September 2024.

While this date is speculative and we will update you as soon as there’s an official confirmation, non-stop leaks have revealed almost every key detail about the upcoming phones.

With a recent report, we have almost the entire camera setup of iPhone 16 models out in the open.

Here’s what we know about the recent report.

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus Cameras

Both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will continue to feature a dual-camera system on the back.

They will have a primary wide camera offering 1X and 2X zoom, and a secondary ultra-wide camera for .5X zoom.

A notable change, however, is in the design.

With the iPhone 16, we are getting a vertical alignment of the camera modules.

This is a clear departure from the previous diagonal arrangement.

The primary camera will remain a 48MP sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and 2X optical telephoto capability, just as in previous models.

However, the ultra-wide camera will receive a significant upgrade with a faster f/2.2 aperture, improving performance in low-light conditions.

Additionally, these non-Pro models are expected to support macro photography for the first time.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max Cameras

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will also maintain their triple-camera setup.

This will include a wide camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a telephoto camera.

The primary sensor remains unchanged at 48MP with an f/1.78 aperture, capable of delivering 2X optical-quality 12MP telephoto shots with 1.22-micrometer pixels.

A major enhancement for this year’s Pro models is the introduction of a 5X telephoto lens, previously exclusive to the Pro Max model.

This lens will replace the 3X telephoto lens found in the iPhone 15 Pro and will feature a 12MP resolution with an f/2.8 aperture.

MacRumors recently reported, “The iPhone 16 Pro Max could feature a super telephoto periscope camera for a dramatically increased optical zoom. The information comes from a Weibo account that has provided accurate information in the past, but it has not yet been backed up by a second reliable source.”

The ultra-wide lens on the Pro models will also see a substantial upgrade, increasing to 48MP and featuring pixel-binning technology similar to the primary camera.

It will offer .7 micrometre pixels at full resolution or 1.4-micrometer pixels in quad-pixel mode.

Users will be able to capture 48MP ProRaw photos with this upgraded lens, providing greater flexibility in post-processing.

Apple To Introduce the Capture Button

Perhaps the most exciting new feature is the addition of a capacitive capture button.

We heard about the debut of Capture Button across all four iPhone 16 models long ago.

Positioned on the lower-right corner of the device, this button is designed for use in landscape mode.

It is designed to be accessed with the camera bump at the top and your index finger resting on the button.

The capacitive nature of the button means it requires a touch to activate, preventing accidental triggers while in your pocket.

It also offers a force-sensitive half-press, which can be used to lock exposure and focus before fully pressing to take a photo.

The button is specifically designed to work with camera apps, allowing users to choose which app—whether Apple’s own or a third-party app—the button will open.

Additionally, the button will function as a mini trackpad, enabling users to perform different actions by sliding their finger along its surface, with these actions being tied to a developer API for customization.

Additional Camera Features Expected in iPhone 16

Beyond these hardware improvements, the iPhone 16 series will support a new image format called JPEG-XL.

This format addition will be provided alongside existing formats like HEIF, JPEG, HEIF Max, ProRaw, and ProRAW Max.

Moreover, the Pro models will be capable of shooting 3K video at 120 frames per second with Dolby Vision.

The current options include 1080P at 120FPS or 240FPS, and 4K at 60FPS available on the iPhone 15 Pro models.

  • New Capture Button: A new “Capture” button will be introduced, designed to make taking photos and videos more intuitive and efficient.
  • Battery Improvements: The Pro models will feature larger batteries, with the iPhone 16 Pro having a 3,355mAh battery and the Pro Max a 4,676mAh battery.
  • Advanced Connectivity: With support for Wi-Fi 7 and other advanced connectivity features.
  • The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 modem.
  • The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to include up to 1TB of storage space, with Apple also offering 256GB and 512GB models.
  • All iPhone 16 models will have USB-C ports.
  • Apple is also rumoured to be introducing new Siri features powered by large language models.
  • There have been certain rumours about an “iPhone Ultra” included in the iPhone 16 series. This purely speculative phone could either be the fifth higher-end phone or as a replacement for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

These enhancements, along with other rumoured features like a brighter display and larger battery, make the iPhone 16 Pro models highly anticipated.

Stay tuned for more details as the launch date approaches.

Meta Introduces Cross-Post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads

Meta Introduces Cross-Post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads
Meta Introduces Cross-Post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads

Highlights

  • Meta has introduced a cross-posting feature.
  • It will allow seamless content sharing between Instagram, Facebook, and Threads.
  • Users can opt-in to cross-post from Instagram to Threads and from Threads to Facebook.
  • This feature aims to streamline content sharing across platforms.

The reports that Meta would bring a feature that will allow users to cross-post between its three platforms have been doing rounds for months now.

Looks like Meta is finally rolling out the hyped feature.

As per a recent TechCrunch report, Meta has confirmed the development and release of this feature to TechCrunch.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new cross-post feature.

The cross-posting feature will allow users to share content seamlessly between Instagram, Facebook, and Threads, its social networking platform competing with X (formerly known as Twitter).

This new feature is part of Meta’s larger strategy.

The aim is to maximize the content shared across its family of apps.

For years, Meta has enabled cross-posting between Instagram and Facebook.

Last year, the tech giant even tried displaying suggested Threads posts on the other platforms.

However, that feature didn’t gain enough momentum and it also came with an option for users to turn the Thread suggestions off.

This time, however, Meta is integrating Threads more closely.

This close integration with Meta’s other apps – Instagram and Facebook – could boost the growth of Threads, a platform which has recently surpassed 200 million active users.

How to Cross-Post from Instagram to Threads?

The new cross-posting feature on Instagram is now available globally for all users on iOS and Android devices.

Here’s how you can start using this feature –

First of all, remember that this is an opt-in feature where users have to permit the app to cross-post.

It requires users to toggle on the Threads sharing button when posting an image.

Once activated, the Instagram caption becomes the text for the Threads post.

You don’t even have to worry about hashtags as Meta has added functionality where hashtags will be converted into plain text.

Users can either choose to cross-post manually each time or set up automatic sharing for all future posts.

It is important to note that the feature doesn’t extend to Instagram Reels.

You cannot be cross-posted from Reels to Threads.

How to Cross-Post from Threads to Facebook?

Users can activate the feature to Cross-Post from Threads to Facebook when typing a post by selecting the Threads option alongside other privacy settings like “Only Me” or “Add an Album.”

This feature applies only to text and link posts, not videos, and is available globally on Android and iOS devices in all countries where Threads is available.

The ability to cross-post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads can be a very helpful tool for creators, social media managers, and business owners.

By allowing the same content to be shared across multiple platforms simultaneously, it saves time and effort.

Threads crossed 200 million monthly active users, and Meta recently announced power user features such as insights, multiple drafts, and scheduling.

Threads is the most credible alternative to Twitter/X at the moment, and it has benefits from the integrations with Meta’s other social platforms.

However, it’s important to note whether this strategy suits all posts, as some content might not translate well across different platforms.

For example, an Instagram post with hashtags might appear awkward on Threads, where hashtags turn into plain text.

While Threads supports tags, they don’t use the hash symbol, which may affect how the content is perceived.

These are some aspects of the new feature that users will have to keep in mind while using this feature.

FAQs

Q1. What is Meta’s Threads platform?

Answer. Threads is Meta’s text-based social networking platform designed to compete with X (formerly known as Twitter).

It allows users to share text updates, images, and videos, and interact with posts through likes, comments, and reposts.

Q2. How do I create an account on Threads?

Answer. You can create a Threads account by logging in with your Instagram credentials.

This integration allows you to import your username, name, and settings from Instagram, making the setup process seamless.

Q3. What are the key features of Threads?

Answer. Threads support text posts up to 500 characters, images, videos, and GIFs. It also allows users to follow others, like, comment, and repost content.

However, it currently lacks features like direct messaging and long video uploads.

Q4. Can I use Threads on the web?

Answer. Yes, Threads can be accessed via the web at Threads.net, where you can view and publish posts.

The platform is also available on iOS and Android devices.

Q5. How do I delete my Threads account?

Answer. To delete your Threads account, you need to delete your Instagram account as well.

Meta retains your data for 30 days after the deletion request, allowing you to cancel the deletion within this period if you change your mind

Q6. What is the importance of cross-posting as a feature ?

Answer. To cross-post from Instagram and Facebook to Threads makes posting easier for content creators, social media strategists , influencers & business owners.

They can avoid wasting time in creating different content for different social media platforms.

They can make their posts reach increase to more number of people at one time.

One needs to edit & see if the same post can work well for all platforms.

Now Extend the Link Expiry Date on the WeTransfer Mobile App

0

Highlights

  • The “Save for Later” option in the WeTransfer app allows users to hold files for later.
  • Saved transfers are neatly organized in a dedicated section within the app
  • Users can extend the file’s expiry date directly from this section.
  • The extension length depends on the user’s plan.
  • Links can still expire after three days if the save option is not used.

File sharing online is often a struggle.

You want file transfer to be both simple and safe.

Platforms such as WeTransfer can really be lifesavers when you want to easily share heavy files.

However, if you have used WeTransfer, you are probably aware of the expiry date concept of the platform.

For those of you who don’t know, WeTransfer sets a time limit on every file-sharing link.

If you don’t download the files within that time limit, the link expires.

This often creates issues when one misses downloading from the link on time and the left with no other choice than to ask for a reshare.

But now, after listening to issues users have always faced, WeTransfer has released a new feature to change the expiry date issue in the WeTransfer mobile app.

Announcing the new feature, WeTransfer posted a rather dramatic/cryptic post on their official X (previously Twitter) handle @WeTransfer.

“Dear WeTransfer users,

Never in a million years did we imagine we’d have to write these words. Or that things would come to this. But here we are. It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you: WeTransfer links will no longer expire. We’ve parted ways with what once was. The relationship with expiry links had grown strained, and the journey here has been long and painful.”Can you send that link again? It expired. ” Are words you hopefully never have to utter again.

Product Marketing staffer Jasmine Whitaker noted: “You gain full control over how long you can access your files, cutting out the need for awkward follow-ups.”

Here’s everything we know about this new feature.

WeTransfer Releases “Save for Later” feature

Screenshot Grabbed from WeTransfer YouTube video explainer.

With the new “Save for Later” option, you can now hold onto your files for up to 30 extra days.

This gives users more time to download or review the files on their mobile devices.

You even send them to yourself for access on a desktop.

Saved transfers are neatly organized in a dedicated section within the WeTransfer app.

This will make it easier for users to find and access these saved transferred files whenever needed.

How to Use Save For Later in the WeTransfer App?

  • Download the WeTransfer app in the App Store or Google Play Store, and launch it.
  • Log in to your WeTransfer account.
  • As you receive a new transfer, open the WeTransfer app.
  • Tap on the transferred file you want to save and look for the “save for later” option.
  • Once found Tap on the “Save for Later” option.
  • If you need more time with a file, paid users can extend its expiry date to 30 days or more, depending on your plan.
  • Free account users can extend the dates for 3 or 7 days from the saved transfers section.
  • Select the file and choose a new expiry date.

You can easily access the files you save in the app anytime you want.

This allows you to keep track of and access the saved files in the WeTransfer app’s dedicated section.

WeTransfer Link Expiration Extended for 30 Days or 60 Days?

Links can still expire after three days if the save option is not used.
Links can still expire after three days if the save option is not used.

WeTransfer initially caused some confusion when the company made the announcement on its X handle.

The X post shared an image that mentioned that users could extend link expiration for up to 30 days.

The post also suggested that “WeTransfer links will no longer expire.”

However, a shared image on their blog mentioned a 60-day extension, while the blog post stuck to the 30-day limit.

The company later clarified that the length of the extension depends on the user’s plan.

It is important to note that if you don’t use the “save for later” option, your links will still expire after three days.

Italy-based Bending Spoons acquired WeTransfer last month, adding to an app portfolio that has veteran properties like Evernote and Meetup.

At the time of the announcement, WeTransfer CEO Alexandar Vassilev said the file transfer platform had amassed 600,000 subscribers and 80 million monthly active users over the last decade of the platform’s development.

Pixel 9 New Tricks: Transfer Data From Another Phone After Setup, Record Calls With Call Notes

Pixel 9 New Tricks:

Highlights

  • Google Pixel 9 Series enhances data transfer capabilities.
  • Now allows users to copy data from another device even after the initial setup is complete.
  • Pixel 9 phones also allow call recording.
  • Users will also get transcription and a summary of the calls later.

Google has introduced a host of handy features in the latest Pixel 9 Series phones.

While shipping of the new phones has just started and not very many users have probably got their hands on the latest devices, Pixel 9 series tricks have been surfacing online since the announcement.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the recently revealed Pixel 9 new features.

Pixel 9 Series: Transfer Data From Another Phone After Initial Setup

Google Pixel 9 Series enhances data transfer capabilities.
Google Pixel 9 Series enhances data transfer capabilities.

The latest Google Pixel 9 series now allows users to restore data from another Android device even after the initial setup is completed.

The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL users can access this new feature anytime through the Android Settings menu.

This is a welcome change.

Previously, Android only supported data transfer during the initial setup.

If you skipped this option or if it failed, you would have to perform a factory reset to try again.

But with the Pixel 9 series, you can now copy data from another device without resetting your phone.

In a recent post, 9to5Google explains the feature in detail.

In the Settings menu, you’ll find a new “Backup or copy data” section above the “System” category.

This section allows you to back up data to your Google account or copy data from another device.

The process is simple and involves scanning a QR code and using Wi-Fi to transfer the data.

You can choose which data to copy, and it’s always merged with existing data on the new device, not overwritten.

Pixel 9 Series: Now Allows Call Recording and Transcription

Google Pixel 9 series has finally added a long-awaited phone call recording feature.

The Google Pixel 9 series has finally added a long-awaited phone call recording feature.

With the new feature enabled in the latest Pixel 9 Phones, you can not only record calls but also allows you to transcribe and summarize the calls.

This feature is available in the Phone by Google app on Pixel 9 Series phones.

The new Call Notes feature uses Google’s advanced AI model, Gemini Nano. This feature handles audio, speech, and even image inputs.

Here’s how you can enable this feature in your new Pixel 9 series –

  • Open the Phone by Google app
  • Tap the three-dot menu button
  • Select Settings and tap on Call Notes

After the call ends, you can access the recording, transcript, and summary in the “Recents” tab of the Phone by Google app.

However, if the call was too brief, you might receive a message saying it couldn’t be summarized.

While recording phone calls might seem straightforward, it’s complicated by legal regulations.

Google’s call recording feature is available in the Phone by Google app but was blocked on Pixel phones in some regions, including the US.

Pixel 9 and 9 Pro – Key Differences and Unboxing Sneak Peek

Pixel 9 and 9 Pro

Highlights

  • Google has launched four Pixel 9 models: Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold, with the Fold being a distinct foldable phone.
  • Both Pixel 9 and 9 Pro share the same 6.3-inch size, while the 9 Pro XL offers a larger 6.8-inch screen.
  • The Pro models have additional features like a 48MP telephoto lens and higher RAM.

Google has just released its new Pixel 9 series.

However, the latest Pixel lineup has left many users a bit confused.

While the Pixel 9 is the base model, the differences between it and the Pro versions are not as straightforward.

The confusion becomes even more glaring because of the two new size options in Pixel 9 Pro models.

Let’s try to wave off some of this confusion.

How Many Pixel 9 Models Did Google Launch?

Google has launched four Pixel 9 models.

First question, how many Pixel models do we have in the Pixel 9 series.

Google has launched four devices under the Pixel 9 name: the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

The main three models—the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL—are quite similar.

Meanwhile, the 9 Pro Fold stands out as a foldable phone.

Pixel 9 and Its Sizes

Both Pixel 9 and 9 Pro share the same 6.3-inch size
Both Pixel 9 and 9 Pro share the same 6.3-inch size.

Google has changed its approach this year.

Instead of including a larger Pro model and a smaller base model in the series, both the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro now share the same 6.3-inch size.

This size is slightly bigger than last year’s Pixel 8.

Google is admittedly trying to cater for every type of userbase including those users who prefer a more compact phone but with better features.

The company has also tried to target another section of userbase who wants a larger device with the same features.

For them, Google has introduced the Pixel 9 Pro XL with a 6.8-inch screen size.

Another confusion that most users will face – the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL are almost identical in terms of features.

The only differences are size, weight, and battery capacity.

This means users can choose the size that suits them without sacrificing any of the Pro features.

Pixel 9 vs. Pixel 9 Pro: Key Differences

The Pro model also offers a higher screen resolution of 1280 x 2056, compared to the Pixel 9’s 1080p display.
The Pro model also offers a higher screen resolution of 1280 x 2056, compared to the Pixel 9’s 1080p display.

There are some notable differences between the Pixel 9 and the more expensive, Pixel 9 Pro.

The Pixel 9 Pro includes a 48MP telephoto lens, allowing for Super Res Zoom up to 30x and optical zoom up to 10x, as well as the ability to upscale videos to 8K with Google’s Video Boost and use the Zoom Enhance tool.

These features are not available on the base Pixel 9.

The Pixel 9 Pro also has 16GB of RAM compared to the Pixel 9’s 12GB.

9 Pro also sports a Super Actua display with brightness up to 3,000 nits, while the Pixel 9’s Actua display peaks at 2,700 nits.

The Pro model also offers a higher screen resolution of 1280 x 2056, compared to the Pixel 9’s 1080p display.

Additionally, the Pixel 9 has slightly thicker bezels and comes in more vibrant colours, such as the Peony colour, compared to the Rose Quartz option on the Pro.

What’s different between Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro at a glance:

Before the phone reaches end users, 9To5Google has given us an exclusive first look at the unboxing experience of the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL:

Google has taken a new approach with the Pixel 9 series, offering an eco-friendly unboxing experience.

The packaging now features a recycled cardboard look.

The brand has removed the usual four-colour “G” logo and adopted a more minimalist logo design.

As expected, the box doesn’t include a power brick.

If you want faster charging, you’ll need to buy the official 45W power brick separately or opt for a compatible third-party charger.

Inside the box, you’ll find a SIM tool and some basic documentation.

The phone itself comes in a new paper encasement without any adhesive screen protection.

Alleged iPhone 16 Pro box label Surfaces Online, Confirms Production in India Reports

iPhone 16 Pro Models

Highlight

  • Alleged iPhone 16 Pro packaging box image revealed online.
  • It confirms the rumours that Apple is expected to produce the iPhone 16 Pro models in India.
  • Apple reportedly is partnering with Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Group.
  • This move is potentially increasing its share of global iPhone production from 14% to 25%.
  • Most iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max units assembled in India will likely be exported.

As the official announcement and launch of the iPhone 16 approaches, rumours continue to flood from all corners of the tech industry.

A few days ago, we reported that Apple is expected to produce the iPhone 16 Pro models of the series in India.

If true, this will be a significant shift in the company’s manufacturing strategy.

But is it true?

Well, a recent leak from a Chinese source seems to think so.

A recently leaked photo of an iPhone 16 Pro box label, shared by a leaker known as “OvO” on the Chinese platform Weibo, seems to confirm this move.

The leaked image shows a label with the product name.

It also shows the words “Assembled in India,” signalling a first for Apple’s high-end models.

The leaker, “OvO,” though not well-known, has shared various details about the upcoming iPhone 16 models, including a potential Rose Gold colour option.

This was previously revealed a few days ago in different MoneyControl and Bloomberg reports.

Both agencies revealed citing undisclosed sources that Apple would partner with Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Group to assemble the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max in India.

This follows last year’s move by Apple to assemble the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models in India simultaneously with China.

It was a significant step in reducing the tech companies’ reliance on China for manufacturing.

Foxconn, Apple’s primary manufacturing partner, will lead the production at its facility in Tamil Nadu, India.

Apple is expected to announce iPhone 16 in the first half of September
Apple is expected to announce iPhone 16 in the first half of September.

This is expected to bolster India’s manufacturing sector, potentially creating thousands of jobs.

“Apple Inc. has started to train thousands of workers at its Tamil Nadu factory to produce the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max as close to the global debut as possible”, Bloomberg News reported on August 20 citing sources.

According to reports, India currently accounts for 14 per cent of global iPhone production, a figure that could rise to 25 per cent as early as next year.

Due to the high prices of Pro models, it is largely expected that demand in India for iPhone Pro models will remain modest.

What this means is that most iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max units assembled in India will likely be exported to international markets such as the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

As we await more details and the official announcement, which is expected in early September, the leaks have confirmed a lot about what to expect from the upcoming iPhone 16 series.

It has already been reported that the iPhone 16 will feature an upgraded chip supporting exclusive AI features along with larger screens for the Pro models.

India-made iPhones to be exported

Apple to Boost iPhone Production in India to 25% by 2028
iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max units assembled in India.

Most of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max units assembled in India will be exported to markets like Europe, the West Asia, and the United States.

This decision has been taken as the domestic demand in India is lesser for the more expensive models.

The new decision for local assembly in India should increase the share of global iPhone production from 14 to 25 per cent by next year.

Production costs of iPhone 16 to drop by 10 percent

The Return of Additional Buttons
Apple is expected to cut prices by up to 10 per cent.

Domestic manufacturing should decrease the production cost of iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max in India.

The phones have hefty import duties & are more expensive in other markets.

By assembling the devices locally in India Apple is expected to cut prices by up to 10 per cent.

Due to the high cost of components and local taxes, Indian consumers might still pay more than those in other regions.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Foxconn will start the assembly of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max within weeks of the global launch, in September.

This can be seen as a move to diversify the production away from China.

To that extent, an alleged tear-off tab packaging for ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ has surfaced on Weibo and this reads, “Designed by Apple in California and Assembled in India.”

But we cannot verify the authenticity of the same at the moment.

Bloomberg report notes that training for thousands of workers has already started at the factory in Tamil Nadu.

Besides Foxconn, Pegatron Corp and Tata Group could also begin assembling the iPhone 16 Pro variants in India soon, as per the report.

This is the first time that Apple is assembling the Pro variants in India as the vanilla models were earlier assembled locally.

FAQs

Q1. What are the expected new features of the iPhone 16 Pro models?

Answer. The iPhone 16 Pro models are rumoured to feature an upgraded chip that supports exclusive AI features, larger screens, and potentially a new Rose Gold colour option.

These enhancements aim to improve performance and user experience.

Q2. Will the iPhone 16 Pro models be assembled in India?

Answer. Yes, for the first time, Apple is expected to produce the iPhone 16 Pro models in India.

This move is part of Apple’s strategy to diversify its manufacturing and reduce reliance on China.

Q3. When is the official announcement for the iPhone 16 Pro expected?

Answer. The official announcement for the iPhone 16 Pro models is anticipated in early September.

Apple typically holds its annual iPhone launch event around this time.

Q4. What impact will the production of iPhone 16 Pro models in India have?

Answer. Producing the iPhone 16 Pro models in India is expected to boost the country’s manufacturing sector, potentially creating thousands of jobs.

It could also increase India’s share of global iPhone production from 14% to 25% by next year.

Q5. Will the iPhone 16 Pro models be available globally?

Answer. Yes, while demand for the high-priced Pro models in India is modest, most units assembled in India will likely be exported to markets in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

Q6. Will iPhone 16 Be More Affordable in India?

Answer. While the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be assembled in India, the more affordable iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models will also be produced locally, catering to the broader Indian market.

Certain media reports suggest that local assembly should also help Apple cut down the prices of these marquee models by up to 10%.

Last fiscal year, Apple manufactured less than 15% of its iPhones in India, primarily targeting the local market.

However, with the success of local assembly and government incentives, Apple is now confident in expanding production to include its most high-end model, the Pro series.

This shift allows Apple to offer more competitive pricing in India by avoiding high import taxes, contributing to its record $8 billion in iPhone sales in the country last year.

This strategic decision also highlights Apple’s growing commitment to India as both a production hub and a key market for its products.

Q7. Will iPhone 16 Pro Max Be Made in India?

Answer. In another news update on the Apple iPhone 16 series, it is being reported that Apple is shifting its production strategy.

For the first time, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models will be assembled in India at the Foxconn factory in Tamil Nadu.

This move is part of Apple’s broader effort to reduce its reliance on China amidst ongoing trade tensions.

The iPhones assembled in India will not only be sold domestically but also exported to key markets such as the United States and Europe.

A news report claimed that while the iPhones used to have a stamp “Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China” on the back of the handset, the country of origin stamp has now been moved inside the charging port.

Thus, instead of China, some iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max batches will say India inside the USB-C port when placing them face down.
