🇸🇪 Apple Store grand opening in Sweden hints at iPhone 16 release date

📰 Apple has announced that it will be opening a new retail store at the Mall of Scandinavia near Stockholm, Sweden on Friday, September 20, and that day may end up being the release date for the upcoming iPhone 16 series.

📆 Given that new iPhones typically launch in stores and begin arriving to customers on the second Friday after they are announced by Apple, the iPhone 16 series is expected to be released on Friday, September 20. If so, the new Apple Store in Sweden would be holding its grand opening on the same day.

🛍️ Apple permanently closed its store at the Väla Centrum shopping mall near Helsingborg, Sweden in July, but the new store at the Mall of Scandinavia means that Apple will still operate three stores in the country following its grand opening.

🖥 Apple has shared special iPhone, iPad, and Mac wallpapers for the store's opening on its website.

📱 The iPhone 16 Pro may not have a 128GB version

According to fresh reports from TrendForce, both iPhone 16 Pro models will have 256GB base storage. The 128GB version will be excluded from the Pro model lineup, as it will not be enough to unlock all the camera capabilities of the new iPhones Pro.

📸 Upgrades that are expected about the camera:

・Upgraded Ultra Wide camera 48MP
・Video upgrades 4K videos at 120 frames-per-second
・8K video with the iPhone 16 Pro was tested, but not stated if available
・At least 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom
・ iPhone 16 Pro Max will probably feature something called a “periscope ultra-long telephoto combination
・Finally anti-reflective coating
・Capture button

At the same time, according to the source, it is likely that the 256GB version will not be reduced in price and the starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro will be from $1099. Concerns about this were expressed the other day by Mark Gurman, but for a different reason – launch Apple Intelligence and powerful iron. But the version about the removal of the 128GB variation looks more logical, now exactly the same price for the 256GB version of the iPhone 15 Pro.

🔜 Everything will be found out the day after tomorrow at Apple Event!
