Apple iPhone 16 Price in Nepal Now Cheaper than Ever!

Apple unveiled the new iPhone 16 series on September 9, which made its way to Nepal a month later. Since it received several price drops, and now its price has dropped even further!

What is the Price of the iPhone 16 in Nepal?

The iPhone 16 price in Nepal has dropped to Rs. 1,28,099 for the sole 128GB variant from Rs. 1,35,299. Here, we are seeing a drop of Rs. 7,200, which is very good, especially considering the iPhone 16 previously did not offer a good value for money.

You can buy the iPhone 16 through all authorized stores across Nepal.

Along with the purchase of the iPhone 16, you will get a complimentary SHIELD Pro that includes a 1-year extended warranty, 2-time front screen replacement, and 2-time back glass replacement. Additionally, customers get a free Apple 20W charging adapter worth Rs. 4,500.

iPhone 16 Overview

Design

One noticeable design change on the iPhone 16 is the rear camera design. The two cameras are now stacked vertically like on the iPhone 12 from 2020, but the camera island is smaller, pushing the flash out. It sort of looks like an iPhone X from 2017.

The iPhone 16 also comes in a variety of vibrant colors, including White, Black, and pink.

Other than that, the iPhone 16 has the same build as the iPhone 15, except for the display. It now has a second-generation Ceramic Shield, which Apple says is “two times tougher than any smartphone glass”. The enclosure is the same “aerospace-grade” aluminum, and the phone is still IP68 splash, dust, and water resistant.

There are also new buttons on the iPhone 16. The alert slider is now ditched for the Action Button that debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro series.

Additionally, there is a new Camera Control button below the power button. The Camera Control has a tactile switch for the click experience, a force sensor that enables the light press gesture, and a capacitive sensor that allows for touch interactions.

Display

The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is unchanged from the iPhone 15. It has a claimed 1,000 nits max brightness, 1,600 nits peak brightness for HDR content, and 2,000 nits peak brightness under bright light.

It still is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, and the 120Hz ProMotion feature is only available to the Pro series.

Hardware

The iPhone 16 has a new A18 chip with 3nm process technology. Apple says it offers significant improvements in performance and power efficiency. Its 16-core Neural Engine runs machine learning models twice as fast as the A16 Bionic, while the 6-core CPU is 30% faster and more power-efficient.

The 5-core GPU delivers up to 40% faster graphics and supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for smoother gaming, with up to 5x higher frame rates.

Additionally, the efficiency of A18 and the device’s rearchitected internal design deliver up to 30 percent higher sustained performance for gaming while ensuring Apple Intelligence, Apple’s personal intelligence system, runs efficiently on iPhone.

In terms of storage, it comes in three variants: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. However, only the 128GB variant is currently available in Nepal.

Camera Control

The iPhone 16 has a new Camera Control button. Camera Control can quickly launch the camera, take a photo, and start video recording, so users don’t miss the moment.

A new camera preview helps users frame the shot and adjust other control options — such as zoom, exposure, or depth of field — to compose a stunning photo or video by sliding their finger on the Camera Control. Additionally, developers will be able to bring Camera Control to third-party apps such as Snapchat.

Camera

The iPhone 16 features a 48MP camera that supports a 2x digital zoom. The new 12MP ultrawide camera now also supports autofocus and enables macro photography.

And because of the new vertical camera arrangement, the iPhone 16 now takes spatial photos and videos for Apple Vision Pro. Moreover, the video can now be captured in spatial audio for immersive listening with AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, or a surround sound system.

Both iPhone models introduce Audio Mix — allowing users to adjust their sound after capture to focus on the voice of the person on camera, make it sound like the video was recorded inside a professional studio, or position vocal tracks in the front and environmental noises in surround sound.

The front has a 12MP selfie camera and can shoot up to 4K 60fps.

Battery and OS

Apple does not officially specify the battery capacity. However, Apple says the battery can last up to 22 hours of video playback, longer by 2 hours than the iPhone 15.

The iPhone 15 now supports faster 25W MagSafe charging and 15W Qi2 wireless charging. It also still supports 7.5W Qi wireless charging.

Apple claims up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes with a 20W (or higher) adapter paired with a USB-C charging cable, or a 30W adapter (or higher) paired with a MagSafe Charger.

The iPhone 16 will come with Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence.

However, the smartphone runs iOS 18.0 out of the box, which does not have Apple Intelligence. You only get to enjoy the AI feature after updating the phone to iOS 18.1. Even then, it is only half the AI features.

The remaining features will roll out with iOS 18.2, which will be available sometime in 2025. It i,s however, available in beta currently.

Apple Intelligence

iOS 18 introduces systemwide Writing Tools that allow users to rewrite, proofread, and summarize text across apps like Mail, Notes, and third-party platforms. Audio can also be recorded, transcribed, and summarized in Notes and Phone apps.

Siri gains a more natural communication style, with richer language understanding, context retention, and a new glowing design around the screen edge. Apple Intelligence helps prioritize notifications and emails.

Users can search for photos and videos with natural language and remove distractions in photos with the new Clean Up tool.

Additional Apple Intelligence features will roll out later this year and in the months following, including Image Playground, which allows users to create playful images in moments.

Finally, Apple doesn’t gatekeep the star Visual Intelligence feature to just the Pro models. The base models with the new “Camera Control” button get access to this Google Lens-like feature. In fact, all the previous iPhones will be missing out on this feature. In other words, Visual Intelligence is iPhone 16-only feature as of now.

iPhone 16 Price in Nepal and Availability

The iPhone 16 price in Nepal has now dropped by Rs. 7,200 and now sits at Rs. 1,28,099 for the 128GB variant. The phone is available to purchase via authorized stores.

With your purchase of the iPhone 16, you get a complimentary SHIELD Pro that includes a 1-year extended warranty, 2-time front screen replacement, and 2-time back glass replacement. In addition, you also get a free 20W Apple adapter worth Rs. 4,500.

The iPhone 16 doesn’t look all that different from the latest iPhone 17. It still has the same linear camera design, and the only noticeable visual difference is that the iPhone 16 is slightly smaller.

However, compared to the previous generation, the iPhone 15 has improvements that are definitely noticeable. And with the price drop, the iPhone 16 is shaping up to be very impressive.
