People who purchase the iPhone 16 Pro model, which retails for Rs 1,19,900, are experiencing screen difficulties.

The issue appears to be restricted to the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max devices with the 120Hz ProMotion display.

Apple just released the iOS 18 upgrade for the new iPhone 16 series and other compatible iPhones. It is possible that the updated version altered the display responsiveness, resulting in this issue. In any case, it is believed that the firm will investigate this issue and maybe repair it with the next iOS 18 update, or even release a fast patch to make it operate properly on a premium device. Speaking of the iPhone 16 Pro models, we all know that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models will be manufactured in India this year, even before their release. So, what about the iPhone 16 Pro?

The iPhone 16 Pro is still made in China, based on information found on the updated iPhone retail cartons.

Apple has managed to reduce the price of the iPhone 16 Pro series in India by Rs 15,000 even though it was the Pro version from the previous year. However, how did that come to pass? The custom duty reductions announced at the Union Budget 2024 in July have most likely been passed on to customers by the firm. India has emerged as a formidable contender to take the lead in Apple's efforts to lessen its reliance on China as a source of iPhone manufacturing labour.
