The iPhone 16 lineup with the A18 series chipset and “Camera Control” buttons went official in Nepal a while ago. And in another round of price cuts, the base iPhone 16 has gotten even more affordable in Nepal. So, in this article, we’ll learn more about the iPhone 16, exploring its specifications, features, and its latest official price in Nepal.

iPhone 16 Price in Nepal and Availability

The official price of the iPhone 16 in Nepal now begins at NPR 125,200 for the 128GB variant after the latest price drop by NPR 5,000.

iPhone 16 Overview

Design 

The major design change that we have witnessed on the iPhone 16 is the redesigned camera module. The Cupertino tech giant has brought back the vertical camera layout from the past on this new guy. ‘Cause the last time we saw a vertical camera module was on the iPhone 12.

Meanwhile, the boxy frame design is here to stay with a metal build in the middle. That’s because the more sturdy and fancy titanium build is reserved for the Pro models to maintain the gap, obviously. Plus, the Action Button is also now available on the vanilla model for the first time, bidding farewell to the mute switch button (RIP alert slider). 

So, the volume rockers are there below the action button. Well, that’s not only it, Apple has also added an extra Capture Button on the side of the power button as well. As for the color, it comes in Black, White, Pink, Teal, and Ultramarine.

Display

In terms of display, the iPhone 16 features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, the same as its predecessor. While Apple has redesigned the camera module, it has also introduced much thinner bezels. However, the refresh rate remains at 60Hz, which is surprising given that we are nearing the end of 2024. But, as always, it’s Apple being Apple!

Performance

The iPhone 16 uses the Apple 18 SoC across the board. Likewise, a new thermal design with a graphene layer also comes with the iPhone 16 models. Similarly, you’ll now get the memory of 8GB supported by a storage capacity of up to 512GB.

Besides that, a bunch of AI improvements are in the store, with Apple Intelligence marking a new feat in the smartphone market.

Camera, Battery, and Others

The iPhone 16 retains its dual-camera setup, featuring a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, without a resolution upgrade this time. However, it now offers the ability to capture macro shots. On the battery front, it brings a 3,561mAh battery which might contribute to a longer 6% battery life. Moreover, the iPhone 16 brings WiFi 7, a USB Type-C port, and an AI-enhanced Siri experience.
