Here's everything you need to know about the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models.
Apple noted a bunch of cool new features while showcasing the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, including:
Brand new ultramarine, teal, and pink colors
2,000 nits peak brightness
6.1-inch display for iPhone 16, 6.7-inch display for Plus
Customizable action button on the side of the phone (from iPhone 15 Pro)
New camera control physical feature that you can use to, well, control the camera
A18 Bionic chipset (iPhone 15 was A16)
$799 starting price for iPhone 16, $899 for iPhone 16 Plus
See, the dog thing is real! Credit: Apple While the basic specs of the iPhone 16 tell most of the story, some deserve a deeper dive. The big one is the new camera control, a physical feature that sits flush with the side of the phone but doesn't really qualify as a "button." You can slide your finger across it to zoom in or out with the camera app open. It also supports both firm and light presses, which will do different things; for instance, a light press will bring up a UI overlay in the camera app with various settings to choose from.
Apple is also leveraging the new A18 Bionic chip (a two-generation jump from the A16 Bionic in iPhone 15) for Apple Intelligence features. Most of these have already been shown off and discussed ad nauseam, but Apple demonstrated a couple of new ones during the iPhone 16 presentation. For example, you can do visual Google searches from photos you've taken, so if you're not sure of a dog's breed, just snap a shot and ask Google. (You can also just ask the dog's owner.)
There's also detailed text searching for photos and videos in your library. If you want every photo on your phone of your dog sleeping on the futon, Apple Intelligence can theoretically pull those up for you.
Speaking of photos and cameras, Apple is fitting a 48MP main lens and 12MP ultra-wide lens on the back of the iPhone 16. There's also 2X telephoto zoom, spatial capture for videos and photos on Apple Vision Pro, and macro photography for gettin' up real close and taking photos of bugs or plants.
So, in summary, the iPhone 16 has upgraded cameras, a new button, a new thing that's kind of a button but not really, and Apple Intelligence. Most importantly, it comes in pink.
