**Cupertino, California:** Apple unveiled its latest iPhone 16 lineup at the “It’s Glowtime” event on Monday, bringing significant upgrades to the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This year, Apple has democratized its AI-powered “Apple Intelligence” features, making them available even on the standard models for the first time.

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are now the cheapest way to access Apple Intelligence, which utilizes on-device AI processing. This is possible thanks to the new A18 chipset, offering powerful performance and supporting AAA gaming titles. The standard models now also boast 8GB of RAM, matching the Pro models, further enhancing their ability to handle demanding tasks and AI operations.

Despite these significant upgrades, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus retain their starting prices of ₹79,900 and ₹89,900, respectively.

In addition to Apple Intelligence, the iPhone 16 series offers a host of new features:

* **Action Button:** This popular feature, previously exclusive to Pro models, allows users to access various functions like the camera, flashlight, voice memos, and more with a single press.
* **Camera Control Button:** A new touch-sensitive button allows users to quickly launch the camera app, take photos and videos, zoom, and adjust settings like exposure and depth of field.
* **Redesigned Camera:** The iPhone 16 models sport a vertical pill-shaped camera layout with a 48-megapixel Fusion camera offering 2x optical zoom and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with macro photography capabilities.

These updates position the standard iPhone 16 models as compelling options for consumers looking for a powerful and feature-rich smartphone experience without the Pro model price tag.
