It’s that moment again – fresh iPhones! This time around, Apple has switched it up by launching on a Monday. Yes, you heard it correctly. Might as well ditch my gym routine to keep pace with this madness.
Besides the peculiar timing, the iPhone 16 series hasn’t really stirred the pot. If you were looking for some groundbreaking innovation, just sit back and don’t get your hopes too high. The **iPhone 16**, **16 Plus**, **16 Pro**, and **16 Pro Max** appear to have followed Apple’s ‘spec bump strategy’, equipped with the new **A18 chips**, upgraded cameras, enhanced displays, and – naturally, it seems – something dubbed **Apple Intelligence**. Because clearly, a phone isn’t clever enough until it guides you on every single moment of your life.
Here’s the scoop on when, where, and how much it’ll cost to snag one of these.
When’s the iPhone 16 Launching?
Apple officially revealed all four iPhone 16 models at their so-called **‘Glowtime’ event** on **9 September 2024**. Pre-orders kick off at **1pm BST/8am EDT/5am PDT on 13 September**. You can have it in your hands by **20 September**. Save the date, or better yet, set a reminder, because heaven forbid you forget to order the 16th iPhone since 2007.
What Will It Cost Me?
This is where it gets real. If your wallet’s a bit thin, best to look away now. No price increase from last year’s iPhone 15 lineup, but it’s still going to sting.
- **iPhone 16 (128GB)** – £799/$799
- **iPhone 16 (256GB)** – £899/$899
