Models

The iPhone 16 series includes four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This year, Apple has made the non-Pro models much more attractive. If you’re thinking about upgrading, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are fantastic options. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you decide.

Characteristics

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch display, making it the largest iPhone ever. Some may find this size unwieldy, however, while the non-Pro models are lighter. The iPhone 16 weighs 170 grams, the iPhone 16 Plus weighs 199 grams, and the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max weigh 199 grams and 227 grams, respectively.

Unless you’re looking for the absolute best Apple has to offer, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offer excellent value for money. They strike a great balance between performance, camera quality, and battery life at a more affordable price.

Camera quality

The camera system in the iPhone 16 series is truly impressive. It includes a 48MP camera with a second-generation Quad-Pixel sensor and zero shutter lag.

The addition of a new 48MP ultra-wide camera and 120mm 5x telephoto camera greatly expands your photography capabilities. Camera Control provides versatile options to capture the perfect shot, while new photo styles let you adjust colors and shadows in real time, giving each photo a unique character.

When it comes to video, the iPhone 16 Pro supports 4K120 capture, allowing for cinema-quality recording with frame-by-frame color grading in Dolby Vision. The device also offers improved spatial audio capture, creating an immersive viewing experience when paired with AirPods or Apple Vision Pro.

Both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offer the same Apple Intelligence features that are available in the Pro models, and Apple has made sure that all new iPhone models include these features.
