The 16-series launched this Friday after a week of pre-orders. The iPhone 16 series went on sale this Friday with brand new Camera Control and Action.
The iPhone 16 series went on sale this Friday with brand new Camera Control and Action Button, plus new ultra wide cameras – quadruple the resolution (48MP) for the Pros and autofocus for the vanilla models. And, of course, Apple Intelligence AI for all four, but that one isn’t ready yet – it should be enabled in the UK next year.
The Apple iPhone 16 is the base model, still with a 6.1” display. The new controls and the Apple A18 (coupled with two extra gigs of RAM) are the key upgrades here. And, yes, the ultra wide camera has a macro mode now.
The Apple iPhone 16 Plus has a 6.7” display, just like its predecessor. This includes the 60Hz refresh rate – 120Hz ProMotion isn’t coming to vanilla iPhones until next year at the earliest. The 15 Plus had excellent battery life and the 16 Plus has a slightly bigger battery, not to mention that the A18 chipset is a jump of two generations from the 15 Plus chipset – we expect even better battery life out of the new model.
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro got the most upgrades this year. A larger 6.3” display, an Apple A18 Pro chipset, a new 48MP ultra wide camera and a new 12MP 5x periscope.
