Apple launched AirPods 4, AirPods Max, and AirPods Pro today at the It’s Glowtime’ event. Airpods 4 comes with a massive improvement in quality architecture with the best sounding ever in this design and includes personalized special audio, which surrounds music, movies, and games with Media experience.

The iPhone 16 Pro starts at Rs 119900 for 128GB, slightly higher than the iPhone 15 Pro at launch, Rs 129900 for 256GB, Rs 149900 for 512GB, and 169900 for 1TB.

However, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will cost you Rs 144900 for 256GB, Rs 164900 for 512GB, and 184900 for 1TB . The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be available for pre-order starting at September 20.

As far as pricing is concerned, the iPhone 16 starts at Rs 79900 for 128GB, Rs 89900 for 256GB, Rs 109900 for 512GB. On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Plus price starts at Rs 89900 for 128GB, Rs 99900 for 256GB, Rs 119900 for Rs 512GB.

The newly launched iPhone 16 series, just like last year’s iPhone 15 series, includes four iPhone models — the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Leaks related to the event suggest that Apple could bring two variants of the Apple AirPods 4 including a high end version and a possibly 'Lite' version. Apart from that, we can also get to see new features like sleep apnea detection in the Apple Watch X.

A report by 9to5Mac suggested that Apple may even roll out the new generation Apple iPads in the Glowtime event. However, another rumor has it that the mentioned devices will make a debut next month most probably.

Leaks suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro will be launched in the global market at a price of $999 which is similar to the introductory price of iPhone 15 Pro released last year. Furthermore, all other devices from the series could debut as increased prices. 

Bloomberg Journalist Mark Gurman has suggested that Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Titanium variant will be introduced in the Apple event. According to his tweet, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is not going to make it to the event which is a big claim.

According to the leaks, the iPhone 16 Pro could ship with a 6.3-inch display and the Pro Max variant will come with a 6.9-inch display. The whole series will possibly make a debut with the A18 processors. Previously, the base and Pro variants had different processors.

Apple could bring iPhone 16 with vertically aligned camera system with a pill-shaped camera bump. If leaked reports are to be believed, major changes will be seen in the camera and design of the new iPhone 16 series. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be equipped with dual rear camera setup like last year's model. iPhone 16 will have a 48MP primary camera, which will have 1x and 2x zoom capability.

Apple is claiming that its new Intelligence will revolutionize how iPhone users interact with their devices. Apple Intelligence will bring hosts of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities directly into its iPhone 16 eco-system.

The highlight of the event is anticipated to be the iPhone 16. Apple is likely to introduce the latest iteration of its popular smartwatch-Apple Watch Series 10 or Watch X, alongside iPad Pro, Airpods 4th generation, and Apple Airpods Max 2.
