The iPhone 16 Series recently debuted in India. The starting price for the vanilla model is Rs 79,900. But let’s be honest: the device is far from ‘cheap’. Maybe only when compared to the premium models, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 is more reasonably priced in other countries than it is in India. The cost of the iPhone 16 in each country is influenced by various regional market factors like taxation, import duties, currency exchange rates, delivery costs, customer demands, and more.
Countries such as Dubai, the United States, the UK, Hong Kong, China, the United Kingdom, and others are offering the iPhone 16 for substantially less.

Our Take
The comparison shows that the pricing of the iPhone 16 varies significantly between India, the USA, and the UK, having a less expensive purchase procedure than India.
So, if you plan to travel overseas soon, or know someone who does, it is a great idea to purchase an iPhone from Apple’s current lineup and bring it back to India. You will be saving a lot of money
Note: There is no physical SIM card slot on the US models, therefore that will only function if you are using eSIM.
