Tech enthusiasts and those looking for an upgrade, take note: The latest Apple iPhone 16 series is set to launch in the UAE this month, offering competitive pricing and a range of advanced features that make it one of the best deals globally. The lineup includes four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Apple has confirmed its special launch event for Monday, September 9, with Forbes reporting that the iPhone 16 series will likely be available in the UAE by Friday, September 20. Pre-orders are expected to open on Thursday, September 12, providing early access to the most anticipated smartphone of the year.
What’s New in the iPhone 16?
According to MacRumors, all iPhone 16 models will be powered by the new A18 chip, ensuring faster performance, alongside 8GB of memory, an improvement over the previous 6GB. Additionally, an enhanced microphone is set to boost Siri’s performance, and a customizable action button, first seen in the iPhone 15 Pro, will be available across the series.
The design of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will retain their familiar 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, featuring a new vertically stacked camera arrangement. The Pro models, however, will include significant upgrades such as larger displays, polished titanium finishes, and camera enhancements like a dedicated photo button.
In addition to the iPhone 16, Apple will introduce two new AirPod models, with noise-canceling features debuting on the mid-range AirPods—a first for this category.
Competitive UAE Pricing and Pre-Order Options
While official prices have yet to be announced, the UAE is expected to offer highly competitive pricing for the iPhone 16 series, making it a sought-after location for tech buyers. Pre-orders can be made online or in-store at major retail hubs like Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and Yas Mall.
