A generation old, and finally sensibly priced
With the iPhone 17 line now fully stocked, Apple's previous flagship has quietly slid down the price list. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is currently listed at NPR 1,64,900 for the 256GB model, down from its NPR 1,89,900 launch price.
Is it still worth buying
Yes, with one caveat. The A18 Pro is still comfortably faster than anything in the Android midrange, the camera system is unchanged in the ways that matter, and it is guaranteed software support well into the 2030s. What you give up against the 17 Pro Max is the newer telephoto and the vapour chamber, neither of which most people will notice day to day.

If you have been holding out for the Pro Max to become reasonable, this is the closest it has come.
