0

iPhone 16 Pro comes in four stunning finishes: black titanium, natural titanium, white titanium, and desert titanium.

Apple this month introduced iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, featuring Apple Intelligence, larger display sizes, new creative capabilities with innovative pro camera features, stunning graphics for immersive gaming, and more — all powered by the A18 Pro chip. With Apple Intelligence, powerful Apple-built generative models come to iPhone in the easy-to-use personal intelligence system that understands personal context to deliver intelligence that is helpful and relevant while protecting user privacy. Camera Control unlocks a fast, intuitive way to tap into visual intelligence and easily interact with the advanced camera system. Featuring a new 48MP Fusion camera with a faster quad-pixel sensor that enables 4K120 fps video recording in Dolby Vision, these new Pro models achieve the highest resolution and frame-rate combination ever available on iPhone. Additional advancements include a new 48MP Ultra Wide camera for higher-resolution photography, including macro; a 5x Telephoto camera on both Pro models; and studio-quality mics to record more true-to-life audio. The durable titanium design is strong yet lightweight, with larger display sizes, the thinnest borders on any Apple product, and a huge leap in battery life — with iPhone 16 Pro Max offering the best battery life on iPhone ever.

The lower-end iPhone 16 is ideal for the average user who wants a smartphone with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display and that’s loaded with all of the features people love about the iPhone. The iPhone 16 Plus is basically the same as the iPhone 16, but with a larger, 6.7-inch display. These two phones run using the Apple A18 processor.

For people who want more power, faster performance and a better camera system, there’s the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max… The biggest difference between these two phones is screen size. The iPhone 16 Pro offers a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers a stunning 6.9-inch display. These two phones have three rear-facing cameras and run using Apple’s A18 Pro processor…

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro is best for someone who wants the more advanced processing power and enhanced performance that a “Pro” model iPhone can offer (thanks to the Apple A18 Pro processor), but who also wants a phone with a more compact size that easily fits in a hand or pocket.

While people looking for an entry-level iPhone should consider the lower-cost iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Pro is most suitable for average users who want higher-end camera capabilities built into their phone.


MacDailyNews Take: iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are the most advanced iPhones ever made, so of course they’re great!
