The event is rumored to be held at 10:30 PM IST at Apple Park, California, although Apple has not confirmed these details.

By manufacturing locally, Apple aims to reduce the prices of these flagship models by up to 10%. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro models are imported, which incurs an import duty, leading to higher prices in India. Despite the local production, Bloomberg reports that the cost of expensive imported components and local taxes will keep the prices of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max higher in India compared to some other regions globally.
