iPhone 16 Features
Chip
The iPhone 16 and Plus models are powered by the A18 chip, which is custom-built to handle the handset’s new AI features. This new processor promises to be 30% faster CPU and 40% faster GPU compared to the A16. The Pro and Pro Max models, on the other hand, are powered by the A18 Pro chip, which supports 4K120fps video recording in Dolby Vision.
Camera
The iPhone 16 series boasts an impressive camera system, with the back-mounted cameras stacked atop one another to capture spatial images and video. The camera array includes a 48MP Fusion camera with a 2x Telephoto option, along with a 12MP Ultra Wide lens. The Pro and Pro Max models feature a 48MP Fusion camera, a 48MP Ultra Wide camera, and a 12MP 5x telephoto camera.
Buttons
The iPhone 16 series introduces two new buttons: the Action Button and the Camera Control button. The Action Button acts as a shortcut to various features, while the Camera Control button allows for quick and easy access to the phone’s camera and capture settings.
