iPhone 16 and 16 Pro: this is the price of Apple’s next smartphones and we have good news

The countdown begins to find out all the details about the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. Between rumors and rumors, the date of the Keynote is postulated for the Tuesday, September 10th. Beyond the features or functions they may bring, the number one factor in deciding whether or not to upgrade to an iPhone is price. In fact, this is reflected in a recent survey conducted days before its launch.

These last years We have had quite wide price fluctuations. And it is that, after the pandemic in 2020 and the subsequent devaluation of the dollar, inflation in Europe… We have gone through years in which iPhones rose and fell in price. The most expensive generation was the iPhone 14, which started at 1,009 euros, while the iPhone 15 dropped to 959 eurosWhat will happen with the iPhone 16?

Possible prices for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro

This year’s rumors barely mention the pricing of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. That’s good news, as it indicates that Apple does not plan to make any increases as has happened in previous years. The difference between the dollar and other currencies, such as the euro, remains stable, so the prices of the new iPhones will be very similar to the current ones.

To understand the evolution of prices, we will compare the different ranges of the last few years. This way we will have the context of the situation and How Apple is adapting to inflation. It should also be noted that, for example, the iPhone 15 Pro Max went up in price, but the base model was now 128GB instead of 256GB, so the price itself remained stable.

As you can see, the big price increase was with the iPhone 14. With the iPhone 15, dropped an average of between 50 and 100 euros per model, depending of course on the size and capacity involved. Prices are expected to remain the same for the iPhone 16.

At least that is what X’s account with more than a million followers confirms, @TheAppleHuban account specialized in to graphically capture all the rumors around Apple. In this case, we have to turn to dollars to be able to compare accurately, since Apple can make different adjustments depending on the value of each currency. At the moment, the euro is worth less than it did in September last year, at around 0.90 euros per dollar. A devaluation of four cents which we hope will not affect the final price in Spain and other countries.

As you can see, the only price increase on the iPhone 16 is on the iPhone 16 Pro model. And this year The iPhone 16 Pro will feature the same telephoto camera which last year only the Pro Max had. This “tetraprism” camera would increase the final cost of the device. Surely, Apple, to justify this increase, will offer the iPhone 16 Pro with 256 GB minimum capacity instead of 128 GB, so in that case it would also be good news.
