The iPhone 16 series will be officially introduced in the coming days. In terms of design and hardware A ‘revolutionary’ innovation is not expected However, it can be said that the features of Apple Intelligence are extremely intriguing. However, when it comes to Türkiye, there is another issue that is very interesting: the price.

Apple doesn’t often change its prices abroad. Whatever price the iPhone 14 was priced at in 2022, the iPhone 15 will be priced at the same price in 2023. However, prices in Turkey may increase due to the dollar exchange rate and taxes. It can even change several times during the year. We wanted to make a calculation that would give you an idea of ​​the price of the iPhone 16, days before its launch.

Possible Turkey prices of the iPhone 16 series

The above price estimates are calculated assuming no hike in international prices of the iPhone 16 series.

How did we find these prices?

Unless there is a big surprise Apple launches iPhone 16 family It will be sold abroad for the same price as the iPhone 15 family. The entry-level model of the series, iPhone 16 (128 GB), therefore again gets a price tag of 799 dollars. How much was the iPhone 15 offered for sale in Turkey?

The iPhone 15 (128GB) price in Turkey was announced on September 12, 2023 as 49,999 TL, which is approximately the dollar rate of that day (26.80). It was equivalent to $1,865. In the meantime, however, the dollar exchange rate has risen and the price of the device in Turkey in dollars has fallen.

Apple increased the price of all its products on March 4, 2024 and the price of iPhone 15 (128GB) in Turkey was updated to 58,499 TL. This price is approximately at the dollar rate of that day (31.23). It was equivalent to $1,873. So we can say that Apple Turkey wants to keep the price of the iPhone 15 (128GB) around $1,870.

Since the last price hike, the dollar exchange rate has increased by almost 8% and therefore, it is expected that after the iPhone 16 is introduced on the evening of September 9, Apple will increase the prices of all its products in Turkey. Since the price of iPhone 15 (128GB) at the current exchange rate is It has dropped to the $1,715 level.

However, it is necessary to underline this issue: while Apple introduces a new iPhone series, Apple reduces the prices of the previous iPhone series. Therefore, if the iPhone 16 series does not go on sale worldwide with a price increase on the evening of September 9, Apple Turkey will release the iPhone 16 (128 GB). It will likely sell for $1,870 again.The table above shows the price tags the entire iPhone 16 series will carry if priced this way. iPhone 15 (128GB) will either not increase at all or see an increase of 3-4% below the exchange rate increase.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In our calculations, we took the dollar rate of September 4, 2024 as a basis. However, Apple Turkey may also consider the dollar rate predictions at the end of the year to cover possible financial losses. In this case, we may encounter prices that are slightly higher than our estimates. For example, in our predictions last year, we predicted a price tag of 48,999 TL for the iPhone 15 (128 GB), but the official price was announced as 49,999 TL.
