This next-generation chip turns into a beast while gaming, streaming, or doing any weighted task since it is said to enhance battery life apart from the general performance boost.

With better performance in low light and agile AI-powered image processing, the new iPhone is probably featuring the classiest camera system.

Pricing in India:
Although Apple itself has not given any kind of information on the prices that the iPhone 16 series is likely to come with, there have been speculations that each of the new models could see a price hike of $100. This includes at least the A17 Bionic chip and a titanium frame on the Pro models—very rich materials with the latest technology.
