Apple iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus: Key highlights
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus feature the same size as their predecessors, with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens, respectively. However, the screens are now brighter, reaching 2000 nits of peak brightness and as dim as 1 nit. The sides remain squared off, and the Dynamic Island is still at the top of the screen, with a USB-C port at the bottom.
A new Camera Control button debuts with the iPhone 16, replacing the Ring/Silent Button from the Pro models. The Camera Control button is flush to the surface and covered in sapphire glass. A single click launches the camera, while a double click allows for adjustments like zoom, depth, and other settings.
The iPhone 16 features a 48MP main camera, capable of shooting 24MP shots and 2x zoom using the middle 12MP pixels. A new 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus joins the main camera, enabling macro photography. The new camera design also supports Spatial Capture, allowing you to shoot Spatial Photos.
The iPhone 16 duo is powered by the A18 chip, which is 30% faster than the A16 chip in the iPhone 15. This new chip enables Apple Intelligence features on the iPhone 16 models, which will be available in future updates. The A18 chip also offers improved gaming performance and hardware-level ray-tracing capabilities.

Apple claims that the iPhone 16 Pro models have the best battery life ever in an iPhone, although specific numbers are not provided.

Both Pro models are made of aluminum and feature a Camera Control button.
The iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip has a 16-core Neural Engine, which is 15% faster than the A17 Pro chip. This translates to improved performance for Apple Intelligence features. The A18 Pro’s 6-core GPU is also 20% faster than the A17 Pro, resulting in better gaming performance.
The iPhone 16 Pro models feature a new 48MP ultrawide camera and a 5x telephoto camera. The Camera Control button on the Pro models supports a two-stage shutter for more control over photo capture.
