Display & Dimensions
The iPhone 16 lineup spans five models to suit varied preferences. The standard iPhone 16 and 16 SE each feature a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, while the iPhone 16 Plus stretches to 6.7 inches. Stepping into Pro territory, the iPhone 16 Pro offers a 6.27-inch screen and the Pro Max expands further to 6.86 inches. Despite these differences in diagonal measurements, all models share slim, uniform bezels and rounded-corner designs for an immersive view.
Materials & Core Performance
Build materials escalate with the series: the 16, 16 Plus, and 16 SE employ aerospace-grade aluminum frames paired with glossy glass backs, whereas the 16 Pro and Pro Max adopt a lighter, stronger Grade 5 titanium chassis and textured matte-glass rear. Under the hood, the standard and Plus models run on the A18 Bionic chip, the SE uses a tuned A18 “Bionic e,” and the Pro duo is powered by the more potent A18 Pro, delivering up to 50% faster CPU performance over the prior generation.
Camera Systems & Controls
Photo capabilities step up through the lineup. The 16 and SE feature a dual-camera array (48 MP main + 12 MP ultra-wide), while the Plus shares this setup with a larger battery. The 16 Pro adds a telephoto module, and the Pro Max further enhances reach with a periscope lens supporting up to 5× optical zoom. Across all five models, Apple’s new tactile Camera Control function—via either a configurable side button or on-screen slider—streamlines shooting, complemented by the fully programmable Action Button.
Battery Life & Intelligence Features
Battery capacities scale with size: video playback peaks at roughly 22 hours on the 16/SE, extending to 30 hours on the Plus, and about 25–29 hours on the Pro and Pro Max. All models support USB-C charging, MagSafe, and IP68 water resistance. They also integrate Apple Intelligence (with Visual Intelligence arriving later this year), leveraging on-device AI for smarter photo editing, transcription, and more.
