Apple launched the much-anticipated iPhone 16 lineup on Monday, 09 September 2024. The series includes an array of software-centric Apple Intelligence AI features, alongside the hardware upgrades. The color options for the iPhone 16 vanilla models have been revamped and the new colors are more saturated and will likely appeal more to consumers than last year’s muted, pastel shades. Significant upgrades and changes have been made to both the standard and Pro models.

Apart from cosmetic updates, such as vertically stacked rear camera sensors, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come with significant changes in both performance and utility. Both the models are powered by the new A18 chip, delivering a performance boost with the same-generation chip as the Pro models. With the A18 chip, users of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will also gain access to AAA video game titles previously exclusive to Pro models. A new dedicated capacitive Camera Control button has been introduced which allows users to adjust camera controls such as zoom, exposure, and depth of field using touch gestures.
The powerful camera system features a 48MP Fusion camera with a 2x Telephoto option, giving users two cameras in one, while a new Ultra Wide camera enables macro photography. Next-generation Photographic Styles help users personalize their images, and spatial photo and video capture allows users to relive life’s precious memories with remarkable depth on Apple Vision Pro.
Available in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display sizes, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus feature a gorgeous, durable design and offer a big boost in battery life. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be available in five bold colors: black, white, pink, teal, and ultramarine.
