FULL STORY
======================================================================

Were now just hours away from the launch of the iPhone 16 line  you can 
follow the build-up at our iPhone 16 event live blog  with Apple set to 
unveil these phones later today (September 9). The leaks havent stopped 
rolling in even at this late hour, and the latest contains several pieces of 
potentially good news. 

In a post on X, reputable leaker Mark Gurman (via 9to5Mac ) claimed that the 
iPhone 16 Pro s starting price isnt likely to be raised above the $999 of the 
iPhone 15 Pro . He didnt talk about pricing for other regions, but for 
reference the current model starts at 999 / AU$1,849 in the UK and Australia, 
so it might be that Apple sticks with those prices too. 

We werent specifically expecting a price rise prior to this leak, but we 
certainly hadnt ruled one out either, so its encouraging to hear that Apples 
most expensive new phone after the iPhone 16 Pro Max might not come with a 
price hike. I expect the touch sensitive camera button to be on all iPhone 16 
models tomorrow. The slimmer bezels on the Pro line are noticeable, as are 
battery life improvements. I dont expect the Pro entry price to be raised 
from $999. Big focus will be on AI & A18 chip across the board. September 9, 
2024 

Gurman also claimed that we'll see noticeable battery life improvements for 
the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max , and that their bezels will be 
noticeably smaller than on the current models. 

Thats in line with previous leaks which suggested the iPhone 16 Pro Max could 
have the smallest bezels of any phone , and that the Pro models could both 
have bigger batteries than their predecessors. 

Echoing reports we've heard repeatedly from other sources, Gurman also said 
that all four iPhone 16 models will probably gain the widely rumored Capture 
button, for controlling the camera, and that Apples focus at the launch event 
will be AI and the new A18 chipset. We'll find out very soon 

While we should take all of the above with a pinch of salt, Mark Gurman has a 
superb track record for Apple leaks, and most of this is in line with things 
weve heard previously anyway. 

Well know for sure soon enough, as Apples iPhone 16 launch starts at 10am PT 
/ 1pm ET / 6pm BST, which is 3am on September 10 for those in the AEST time 
zone. 

Weve already got an Apple Glowtime event live blog up and running, where you 
can read about any more late leaks ahead of the event followed by all the 
announcements as they happen. And if you want to tune in yourself, heres how
