Apple introduced a $999 starting price back when it introduced the iPhone X, ushering in a new ultra-premium category of flagships, and it followed up with an even larger version while charging an additional sum. The company has not taken a backseat in this approach, but despite getting several generations of iPhone launches, the smaller ‘Pro’ version never crept beyond the $999 threshold, despite countless rumors clamoring otherwise. According to the latest rumor, the iPhone 16 Pro price for the base model is said to remain unchanged, which is an excellent strategy, and it means more features for consumers without throwing away a dime extra.
