Introduction to Apple iPhone 16 Series
The latest iPhone 16 series has been released, featuring standard, plus, pro, and pro max variants as successors to the iPhone 15 models.
Apple has also introduced AirPods 4 and Watch Series 10 alongside these new smartphones. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offer incremental upgrades, with Apple Intelligence being a key highlight of this year’s models.
iPhone 16 and 16 Plus Design Changes
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus have undergone significant design changes, reverting back to the iPhone X-era style by replacing the square camera island with a protruding pill-shaped camera module with vertically stacked sensors. Additionally, Apple has replaced the legacy mute switch with an Action Button from last year’s Pro models.
The phones retain the frosted glass back panel and also introduce a dedicated camera button. The OLED screens remain the same size as their predecessors, measuring 6.1 and 6.7 inches, with a dynamic island and 2,000 nits peak brightness.
iPhone 16 and 16 Plus Features
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus come with the same cameras as their predecessor, featuring a 48MP main lens, 2x telephoto, and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle sensor. They can shoot spatial photos and videos, previously limited to pro models, and have a DSLR-like camera button for focusing and capturing images. The phones are touch-sensitive for adjusting settings like zoom.
Powerful Specs and Features
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are powered by an A18 processor, with 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. They support Apple Intelligence features, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and AAA gaming titles. Other features include a USB-C port, emergency SOS via satellite, WiFi-7, MagSafe charging, and more. The phones start at $799 and $899 for the base 128GB variants, with pre-orders starting today and sales beginning on September 20.
