Customers in the US can use the "Get Ready" pre-order arrangement to get ready for the release of the iPhone 16. During this step, you can choose the model of your iPhone, verify your carrier, and provide payment and delivery information in advance.
It is advised to place an urgent pre-order if you want a gadget on launch day. There is no guarantee on supply availability; popular models or colors could run out in a matter of minutes or hours.
Starting at $799 for the iPhone 16 and $999 for the iPhone 16 Pro, these prices correspond to those of the iPhone 15 series when they were released in September of last year.
U.S. carriers are giving varying deals. In order to cut expenses, Apple also offers trade-in alternatives including the iPhone Upgrade Program. September 13 is when preorders go live. Customers will receive their first orders for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro on Friday, September 20.
