Get ready for some fresh hardware as we break-down the long-anticipated iPhone 16 range from brand new designs and iPhone 16 features to the new iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence.
The Design
The brand-new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro ranges have finally arrived. If it’s a faster working phone or simply an upgrade in photography, the new iPhones have the advances you need.
The new iPhone comes with more features and upgrades from its precursor, the iPhone 15. With the previous Pro Max size sitting at 6.7 inches, the new iPhone 16 Pro Max sits at 6.9 inches, allowing for more visual spacing to explore the iPhone the way you need. Subsequently, there is a 2-inch difference in the Pro models, with the iPhone 15 Pro sitting at 6.1 inches and the iPhone 16 Pro sitting at 6.3 inches.
Alongside the new sizes comes the new haptic button, exclusive to the new iPhone. For those who pride themselves in photography – hobby or professionally, the new button allows for quicker camera control, an easier way to capture pictures within the moment and increased access to photo and video tools.
Adjacent to the new haptic button, Apple has further increased the technologies behind the camera across the iPhone 16 range. The Pro Max and Pro have the most features such as:
- Pro camera system 48MP Fusion | 48MP Ultra Wide | Telephoto
- Super-high-resolution photos (24MP and 48MP)
- Dolby Vision up to 4K at 120 fps
- 48MP macro photography
- Optical zoom options: .5x / 1x / 2x / 5x
… and more.
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus also have a huge upgrade in their camera features. The new baseline for these models are:
- Advanced dual-camera system 48MP Fusion | 12MP Ultra Wide
- Macro photography
- Optical zoom options: .5x / 1x / 2x
Features
Apple has developed brand new ground-breaking technologies to advance into an improved technological era of iPhones. Development into operating speed means the brand-new A18 chip is a huge step up from the A17 predecessor.
In addition to the new chip, the iPhone 16 is the first to have 8GB of RAM and a 4GHz chip, allowing for the fastest processing speed Apple has created, enhancing the iPhone 16 features.
