As the season arrives for Apple to reveal its eagerly awaited smartphone lineup, the spotlight usually shines on the Pro and Pro Max models. However, it’s the base model that often emerges as the most popular. For instance, the iPhone 15 topped global sales charts. In this piece, we’ll delve into the details of the iPhone 16, including its specifications and features.
iPhone 16 Overview
Design and Display
The most notable design change in the iPhone 16 is its revamped camera module, which reintroduces the vertical camera layout seen in earlier models. This design element has been absent since the iPhone 12. This smartphone retains the boxy frame with metal construction, while the more durable and sophisticated titanium build remains exclusive to the Pro models, preserving the distinction between the two.
For the first time, the base model features the Action Button, replacing the traditional mute switch (RIP alert slider). The volume rockers are now positioned below this new button. Additionally, Apple has included an extra Capture Button alongside the power button. The iPhone 16 is available in Black, White, Pink, Teal, and Ultramarine colours.
Performance
The iPhone 16 is powered by the Apple 18 SoC and introduces an advanced thermal design featuring a graphene layer. Additionally, it offers 8GB of memory and storage options of up to 512 GB.
Furthermore, it brings a range of AI enhancements, with Apple Intelligence achieving new milestones in the smartphone industry.
Camera, Battery, and Others
The iPhone 16 maintains its dual-camera system, which includes a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, though there are no resolution upgrades this time. However, it now supports macro photography. The device boats up to 22 hours of video playback, a 2 hour increase from iPhone 15. Additionally, the iPhone 16 features WiFi 7, a USB Type-C port, and an enhanced AI-driven Siri experience.
