**SAN FRANCISCO, CA – September 20, 2024** – Apple’s newest smartphones, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, are officially available for purchase. Following a successful pre-order period that began on September 13, customers can now pick up their new phones at Apple stores nationwide or order online for immediate delivery.

The iPhone 16 starts at $799 for the 128GB model and comes in five vibrant colors: ultramarine, teal, pink, white, and black. A 256GB version is available for $899 and a 512GB model costs $1,099.

The larger iPhone 16 Plus, boasting a 6.7-inch screen, offers the same color and storage options as its smaller counterpart. The 128GB base model starts at $899, with the 256GB model costing $999 and the 512GB model retailing for $1,199.

While Apple Stores are stocked with the new iPhones, it’s still advisable to check online for availability as certain models and storage options may sell out quickly. Apple offers an in-store pickup option during the checkout process, allowing customers to view nearby store inventory in real time.

Alongside the launch, Apple has released a guide outlining the tools needed to replace the iPhone 16 battery and conduct other repairs. The company also released official silicone cases for the new iPhones in eight vibrant colors.

Early reviews of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus have been positive, praising the design and performance. However, Apple has yet to release its rumored “Apple Intelligence” feature, which some anticipate being a key component of the iPhone 16’s functionality.

As the newest iPhones hit the market, Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off sales at the iconic Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York City. The excitement surrounding the new iPhone 16 range is evident, with preorders in Russia exceeding last year’s numbers by 15%.

With the release of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, Apple continues to dominate the smartphone market. It remains to be seen how these new models will fare in the long run, but early signs suggest they will be a success.
