Apple iPhone 16

The Apple iPhone 16 – the namesake of the series – bridges the gap between vanilla models and the Pro models by introducing a refined design, faster hardware, improved connectivity and charging and camera improvements.

The new iPhone 16 is once again a pioneer in sturdiness thanks to an improved Ceramic Shield glass, and it keeps the expended IP68 rating for up to 6m water submersion. It also has the same 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with high brightness, HDR10, and Dolby Vision.

There is a new generation chip now – the Apple A18. It brings a new, more powerful processor, much more advanced graphics than the A16 inside the iPhone 15, faster memory bandwidth for AI tasks, and 8GB of RAM, just like the Pro models.

The dual camera on the back has seens some changes. First, there is the 48MP primary with sensor-shift stabilization and Fusion capability, allowing improved 2x in-sensor zoom (better than on the iPhone 15). Then, there is an upgraded ultrawide camera with a brighter aperture lens and autofocus for some nice macro photos. And finally, the new Tone setting allows you to fine tune the iPhone’s camera tonal processing to better match your taste.

The iPhone 16 has the next-generation MagSafe and Qi2 support for up to 25W wireless charging options if you opt for the new MagSafe charger and a 30W+ power adapter.

The iPhone 16 runs on iOS 18 and fully supports Apple Intelligence.
