Among the big changes coming to the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus is expected to be a switch to a vertically aligned camera system on the back. Meanwhile, iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max devices may get bigger screens along with a new bronze colour. This time, all four models are likely to have the ‘action button’, which was exclusive to the Pro line with the iPhone 15. The new iPhones may also have a new button dedicated to capturing photos and videos.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Apple Intelligence features are likely to be a big part of Apple’s event. The users can also witness the new AirPods 4 and Watch Series 10 at the event. According to sources, the India-assembled Apple devices will be available within 1-2 months of the global launch in partnership with leading manufacturer Foxconn’s facility in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, iPhone 16 is set to be made available on the first day of global sales in India, just like last year when iPhone 15 arrived in the domestic market on the very first day of the global sale. It will be shortly followed by iPhone 16 Plus models, sources added.
