Apple ने हाल ही में अपने iPhone 16 lineup में बड़ा बदलाव किया है. The company has officially reduced the prices of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, making them more affordable for customers. But the surprising part is that Apple has axed the iPhone 16 Pro model, which is no longer available in the lineup.
Why Did Apple Cut Prices?
Price cut ka main reason hai demand aur competition. In recent months, global smartphone market mein mid-range aur flagship ke बीच ka gap बढ़ रहा है. Apple wants to attract more buyers towards its standard models, especially in price-sensitive regions like India. Isliye iPhone 16 aur 16 Plus ko अब कम दाम में बेचा जा रहा है.
iPhone 16 Pro Gets Axed
Another shocking decision by Apple is discontinuing the iPhone 16 Pro. Usually, Pro models are in high demand because of their premium features. But this time Apple is focusing on the Pro Max as the only premium option. यह strategy Apple को production simplify करने और consumer demand ko streamline करने में help करेगी.
Customer Impact
For buyers, यह एक अच्छा मौका है क्योंकि ab iPhone 16 और 16 Plus lower price range में मिलेंगे. Students aur young professionals jo पहले hesitate कर रहे थे due to high pricing, अब easily इन models को consider कर सकते हैं. However, fans of smaller Pro devices might be disappointed.
Future Strategy
Experts का मानना है कि Apple future में अपने Pro lineup को सिर्फ एक model तक restrict करेगा, ताकि premium users ke लिए exclusivity बनी रहे. At the same time, standard models will compete with flagship Android phones on pricing.
