When deciding between iPhone16 and iPhone16Pro, you should know that iPhone16 used to have many Pro-only features, such as customizable action buttons and Apple IntelligenceWe are also making new upgrades such as the camera control button and the powerful A18 chipset

However, the iPhone16Pro series obviously has many additional advantages The screen is even bigger, and the 5x tetraprism lens is now available on the iPhone16Pro In addition, it has an adaptive ProMotion display, a large battery and a new 48MP ultra wide-angle camera So it is the best iPhone for you Here is our full breakdown

The main similarity between all 4 iPhone models is the new camera control button at the bottom left of the phone, which says they are all running Apple IntelligenceAll new iPhone16 devices also provide visual intelligence, allowing the camera to search for real-time information about what it is looking at and act on it In

The camera control is a multipurpose tactile button that is also tied to visual intelligence if you want it The main function of the button is to quickly open the camera app and have better control over what happens without resorting to the usual touchscreen controls 

But there is more than that A light tap on the camera control opens a small menu with the minimal, distracting 2nd light tap, with the option to slide over the button to control features such as camera zoom, allowing you to navigate through options such as aperture, depth, and camera style

The action button may have debuted in the iPhone15Pro series, but this year it jumped to a non-Pro phone This means that the owners of iPhone16 and iPhone16Pro can customize the button to perform one of several actions or shortcuts1

The video audio mix feature is available on all 4 new iPhones With it you can fine-tune the sound in your clips so you can focus on the voice in the frame, it's some ambient noi

Other iPhone16 features previously dedicated to Pro models include the ability to capture spatial photos and videos with a new camera layout, the new A18 channel, and the ability to capture spatial photos and videos with a new camera layout The hardware Wi-Fi7 connection is also available in all 4 models, but it's completely new in 2024

Visual Intelligence is an AI camera mode that links Apple Intelligence to the camera, allowing you to scan and analyze the world around you Think of this as a kind of AI vision seen from various AI chatbots and Google lenses Visual Intelligence can scan text, identify animals and objects, translate text, search Google and get ChatGPT All use a mix of on-device and cloud-based computing Not surprisingly, all the other Apple Intelligence features we've heard so far, which will be available on the iPhone15Pro and iPhone15Pro Max, are available on all iPhone16 models This means that all iPhone16 owners can enjoy features such as image generation in the Image Playground, custom original characters, AI enhanced search in Apple Photos, enhanced version of siri, AI email and notification summaries

The same goes for satellite messaging, customizable home screens, locked apps and hidden folders, and iPhone mirror on Mac The same can be said for all the new features coming to iOS18, including RCS messaging, RCS messaging, and more

There are quite a few differences between iphone16 and iPhone16Pro Usually, standard and professional iPhones have several in the same size configuration, but that is no longer the case The IPhone16 and iPhone16Plus have the same 61-inch and 67-inch displays as before, while the Pro and Pro Max have grown to 63-inch and 69-inch respectively

This also means that the iPhone16Pro Max is the largest iPhone Apple has ever made, and could be attractive to anyone who likes big-screen phones

Sadly, beyond this screen upgrade on the Pro model, the rest of the display remains exactly the same on all 4 new iPhones That said, there's nothing in the standard model that people in promotional upgrades have been bothering Apple for years, and they're stuck with a 1〜120Hz display instead of an adaptive refresh rate of 60Hz

Similarly, the titanium shell is also dedicated to the iPhone16Pro and features a new internal thermal management system to support the new graphite-clad aluminum undercarriage The Iphone15Pro has some problems with overheating, and given that the A18Pro is likely to be very hardworking, it is likely that Apple will dissipate more heat

The A18Pro may have a name similar to the a18 chipset in the iPhone16, but the Pro chip itself is an upgrade Apple has not said how powerful this chip is compared to the standard A18, but it is expected to be 2% faster and 20% more efficient than the A17Pro with 15 times faster ray tracing and video encoding at startup

According to Apple, a lot of focus is on Apple Intelligence and AI on devices, but the speed of the chip is beneficial to others, especially the camera sector According to Apple, it will help power the new 4K120fps Dolby Vision video recording feature and zero-lag camera shutter 

The iPhone16Pro has an upgraded camera, including the debut of the iphone16Pro's tetra prism telephoto lens, with an optical magnification of 5x Tetraprism hasn't changed in the iPhone16Pro Max, but both Pro phones have had some big improvements with the other 2 rear camera lenses The most obvious is that ultrawide offers 16MP resolution compared to the iphone12Pro's 48MP Its lens and 48MP main camera lens also feature a larger quad-pixel sensor

This new sensor also helps with shutter lag, but promises 2x faster performance and autofocus Larger sensors generally allow more light to be captured as well and provide better image quality and lower light performance Unsurprisingly, the Pro model is the only iPhone to offer USB3 charging and data transfer rates, but the iPhone16 promises to have the same USB20 battery that comes back when the Lightning cable was still a problem, and the Pro Max is said to have the largest battery in the iphone We don't know how big these batteries are, but as a result the Pro model should be longer with 1 charge, but I'm sure it won't be until we do the test

There are times when it pays off to go the cheaper route, and the iPhone16 may be one of those times While there is a very clear boundary between the standard and professional models, the various upgrades offered this year will make the iPhone16 more professional than ever

, of course, with a tetraprism telephoto lens, adaptive ProMotion display, a high-performance A18Pro chipset, and a new 48MP ultrawide camera and audio upgrade Iphone16 and iPhone16Plus are still missing a variety of things, such as the iPhone and iPad versions We can't know exactly how much difference these things make until we spend a little more time on the iPhone16 There's no doubt that they're all great, but the question is, is it worth the extraれ200+ dollars to get it right now? Saving that money might be worth it, or it might be enough to upgrade your storage or get some handy accessories like a case, AirPods4, or part of the Apple Watch Series10 It all depends on how much you care about the larger display and extra camera and performance features of the iPhone16Pr
