Apple’s much-awaited ‘It’s Glowtime’ event unveiled the iPhone 16 series, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. With a powerful A18 Bionic chip and enhanced camera features, Apple has made a splash with these new models. Despite the technology upgrades, Apple has kept the prices globally consistent with last year’s iPhone 15 series. However, there’s an interesting shift in India, where the Pro models have received a price cut of ₹15,000 compared to last year.

This begs the question: should you purchase the new iPhone 16 series in India or consider buying it abroad where prices might be lower, such as the US, UK, UAE, or Vietnam? Below is a detailed comparison of iPhone 16 series prices across major markets, helping you make an informed decision.

Where is the iPhone 16 Cheapest?

  • iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus: The cheapest country to buy these models is the United States. The iPhone 16 starts at $799 (around ₹67,000) in the US, which is ₹12,900 cheaper than the Indian price.
  • iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max: Similar to the base models, the US remains the most cost-effective country, with the iPhone 16 Pro starting at $999 (around ₹84,000) and the Pro Max at $1,000 (around ₹1,01,000). In India, these models are significantly higher, at ₹1,19,900 and ₹1,44,900, respectively.

Which Country Offers the Best Value?

  • India offers the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max at reduced prices compared to last year, with a price cut of ₹15,000. This makes India an attractive option for Pro models.
  • Dubai and Vietnam offer relatively competitive prices as well, though slightly higher than the US, but still lower than the UK and India in most cases.

iPhone 16 Series: Purchase Decision

If you’re located in India and considering a Pro or Pro Max model, the ₹15,000 price drop makes it a great time to upgrade. However, if you have the option to purchase abroad, especially in the US, the iPhone 16 series is significantly cheaper. Vietnam and Dubai also offer reasonable price alternatives, but with slight variations.

Conclusion: Should You Buy the New iPhone 16 in India or Abroad?

If you’re in India and eyeing the standard iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus, buying from the US would offer considerable savings. For Pro models, while India now has competitive pricing, international buyers (or travelers) should still consider purchasing from the US or Dubai for better value.
