A Huge Leap in Performance
The A18 chip boasts significant performance and efficiency improvements, empowering users to enjoy demanding AAA games and experience a noticeable boost in battery life.
Introducing the Action Button:
A first for iPhones, the Action Button allows users to easily access functions like the camera, flashlight, controls, switching between Ring and Silent modes, music recognition with Shazam, Voice Memos, Focus, Translate, accessibility features, and even shortcuts. The Action Button can also integrate with in-app functionality, like unlocking and locking a car with FordPass.
A Whole New Camera Experience:
The iPhone 16 lineup boasts a significantly improved camera system, including a 48MP Fusion camera with a 2x Telephoto option, essentially offering two cameras in one. This allows users to capture close-up shots with ease. Additionally, a brand new Ultra-Wide camera enables macro photography and gathers more light for enhanced image quality. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus also introduce the ability to capture spatial photos and videos, allowing users to relive cherished memories with incredible depth using Apple Vision Pro.
Express Yourself with Next-Generation Photographic Styles:
Personalize your photos with next-generation Photographic Styles, which adjust color, highlights, and shadows in real-time. Users can also benefit from deeper skin tone understanding for more accurate representation in photos. Photographic Styles apply adjustments to specific colors rather than a one-size-fits-all approach like filters.
Enhanced Video Editing Features:
Video recording now supports Spatial Audio for immersive listening with AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, or a surround sound system. Both iPhone models boast innovative video sound editing capabilities with Audio Mix, powered by advanced intelligence and machine learning. Audio Mix allows users to adjust sound after capture, focusing on the voice of the person on camera, simulating a professional studio recording environment, or positioning vocals at the forefront with background sounds in surround sound.
iPhone 16 Built for Apple Intelligence
The iPhone 16 lineup works seamlessly with Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system that understands personal context to provide relevant and helpful information while protecting user privacy. Apple Intelligence utilizes Apple silicon and generative models to understand and create language and images, perform actions across apps, and leverage personal context to simplify everyday tasks.
