Apple iPhone 16 Series Prices In India Compared With US, UAE And Singapore: Where To Buy Cheaper?

It’s that of the year again where the new iPhone launches and Apple shows pretty much the sameness with its new products and some more. However, many of you also start doing the research based on the latest iPhone 16 series prices in different regions, and compare them with how much the new iPhones cost in countries like India where the taxes and duties push the level higher than most parts of the world.

The iPhone 16 launch prices in countries like the US, UAE and Singapore are always considered by people looking to buy the new iPhones and this year seems no different. But the bigger question is, where should Indians consider buying the new iPhone 16 models from? Does it finally make sense to buy it in the country or others offering better deals? We dig through the fine print to give you the answer.

iPhone 16 Launch Price In India Compared To US, UAE And Singapore

As you can see in the table here, the iPhone 16 launch price might be the same as the iPhone 15 price last year but it is still costlier than most countries. Compared to the US, the iPhone 16 prices are effectively going to 1$ = Rs 100 conversion. While in UAE and Singapore, the price difference is not that significant this year. So, once again, if you can grab the iPhone 16 (one that works in India) from the US, it is still the best deal to get.

iPhone 16 Plus Launch Price In India Compared To US, UAE And Singapore

Here also, the iPhone 16 Plus prices are better in the US, giving you a price cut of up to Rs 19,999 on the Indian launch price. You have to pay around Rs 1.20 lakh for the 512GB variant of the iPhone 16 Plus but getting from the US means you can get it for a lakh. The prices in UAE and Singapore have normalised now which means travelling to these countries no longer makes sense.

iPhone 16 Pro Launch Price In India Compared To US, UAE And Singapore

Now coming to the iPhone 16 Pro models, the prices in India are cheaper than the launch price of 15 Pro models last year but the gulf in the range compared to other countries is still quite high. And the chart here tells you that buying the iPhone 16 Pro from the US, UAE or Singapore is any day a better idea than picking one up in the country. The funny thing is that the higher the storage variant, the bigger the difference in price.

The starting price of iPhone 16 Pro in India is Rs 36,000 more than what you can get it for in the US. That’s not all, even in Singapore and UAE the starting prices are Rs 22,000 and Rs 21,000, respectively, cheaper than in India this year. The 1TB iPhone 16 Pro costs Rs 44,000 less in the US compared to India.

iPhone 16 Pro Max Launch Price In India Compared To US, UAE And Singapore

And finally, you have the iPhone 16 Pro Max variant, the biggest and the costliest from Apple. Getting the Pro Max model from the US is the best deal of the lot, giving you a Rs 50,000 cut on the iPhone 16 Pro Max price in India.

So, while the iPhone 16 series launch price in India has gotten better, the lure of buying the iPhone from other countries, especially with the global warranty in play.
