With beefy batteries and the A18 chipset, these colorful iPhones have everything you need and not much you don't.
. The new teal, ultramarine, and pink colors are more vivid than previous ones, thanks to a new manufacturing process, which Apple says infuses color throughout the glass back of the phone. TheThere are no sweeping changes to the iPhone 16 over its predecessor. Yes, there's a new Camera Control button, and the Action Button has trickled down from the Pro, but nearly every other part of the device is an iterative upgrade.
The main things have to do with the display. The iPhone 16 Pro models have bigger screens now, one-upping the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED screens on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This change is more effective on the iPhone 16 Pro, but it makes the iPhone 16 Pro Max too unwieldy. The screen sizes on the non-Pro iPhones never leave me wanting. On the non-Pro iPhone, you don't have the always-on display, but I don't mind that it's not here.
Camera Control is the new button on the iPhone 16 range, and I'm getting used to it. I prefer to use it as a dedicated camera launch button, freeing up the Action Button to trigger something else, like Silent mode. But you can put some light pressure on the Camera Control button to cycle through camera modes or scroll through different Photographic Styles—the revamped color-grading filters that let you add ato your images pre-capture.
More importantly, every iPhone 16 model will be capable of running Apple Intelligence, the suite of artificial intelligence features coming in an update in October. I go over exactly what's included in Apple Intelligence in. There are some helpful day-to-day features, like real-time transcriptions in Voice Notes or call recordings, but we'll have to wait until Apple brings the full kit.
Battery life is a high note. I eked out better battery life on the iPhone 16 Plus than the Pro Max, hitting more than 7 hours of screen-on time with 36 percent left in the tank at 1 am. The iPhone 16 is no slouch, giving me 6 hours of screen-on time with around 20 percent remaining. And that's with a mix of doomscrolling on Instagram, picture-snapping, navigation, and music streaming. These devices will get you through a full day and then some.
