iPhone 16 Plus

The iPhone 16 Plus is introduced this year, continuing the established trend. Historically, Plus models haven’t received significant upgrades over the standard versions and are often the least popular in the lineup. In this article, we’ll examine the specifications and features of the iPhone 16 Plus and its expected price in Nepal.

iPhone 16 Plus Overview

Design and Display

Talking about the design, the 16 Plus features a redesigned vertical camera module. Additionally, it sports a boxy metal frame and a glass sandwich design. It introduces an Action Button and a new Capture Button, replacing the alert slider. As a "Plus" model, it has a taller body and a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display. Moreover, it comes with a FaceID for 3D security and the refresh rate remains at 60Hz, differentiating it from the Pro models. A 120Hz refresh rate would have been a welcome upgrade as we move into 2025.

Performance and Memory

The iPhone 16 Plus is powered by the new Apple A18 chipset. While it’s not a Pro model, it offers some improvements over the A16 Bionic found in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. The device includes the latest AI features. Furthermore, it also runs on iOS 18, though the most advanced AI capabilities are reserved for the Pro models.

Camera

The iPhone 16 Plus has a dual-camera system on the rear, which includes a 48MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), along with a 12MP ultrawide. Moreover, for selfies and video calls, the device features a 12MP front-facing camera, maintaining the standard quality expected from recent iPhone models.

Battery and Others

The iPhone 16 Plus claims up to 26 hours of video playback which is actually an hour less than its predecessor. Additionally, the smartphone offers a comprehensive range of connectivity features, including support for WiFi 7, 5G, NFC, a USB Type-C port, and GPS.
