Apple's iPhone 16 lineup has officially arrived, leaving potential buyers to choose between the standard iPhone 16, priced at $800, and the more advanced iPhone 16 Pro, starting at $1,000.
This year, the regular iPhone has seen substantial improvements, including two new hardware buttons—the Action button and Camera Control key—a larger battery, an ultrawide camera, and the new A18 chip.
The iPhone 16 Pro boasts even more impressive features, such as upgraded rear cameras, a larger display with thinner bezels, and the powerful A18 Pro chip. Additionally, the Pro model offers unique capabilities like 4K slow-motion video recording at 120 frames per second.
In terms of photography, the iPhone 16 features a 48-megapixel wide-angle and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. In contrast, the Pro includes a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, making it ideal for users who want enhanced photography options.
Both models include Dynamic Island, USB-C charging, and an IP68 water resistance rating. Battery life differs as well, with the iPhone 16 supporting up to 22 hours of video playback compared to the Pro’s 27 hours.
For most users, the iPhone 16 is a solid choice, while photography enthusiasts or those wanting the best display may find the Pro worth the extra investment.
