iPhone 16 review: Who needs the Pro? | Digital Trends

The iPhone 16 is the cheapest and least technically impressive new iPhone. It's also probably the one you should buy.

Fun, refreshing new design ; Stunning colors this year ; Camera Control is so, so good ; The Action button rules ; Excellent camera system ; Reliable battery life

60Hz display, no always-on display ; Slow charging speeds ; Apple Intelligence not yet available

“The iPhone 16 is a fantastic all-around smartphone. If you're in the market for a new iPhone, this is the one to get.”

Subtle redesign, especially eye-catching around the new camera island.

A lot more expensive than corresponding Android alternatives.

Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Plus review: all caught up

Over the past few years, Apple's standard iPhone looked a little neglected. The Pro models got new chipsets, camera features, and a customizable Action Button, while the standard models made do with the leftovers.

iPhone 16 Review: Closer To Pro Than You Think - SlashGear

Apple's iPhone 16 delivers pretty much everything the Pro models do for a slightly lower price -- so what's the difference?

Action Button ; Camera Control ; Much faster processor ; Small but impactful software tweaks

Halo feature (Apple Intelligence) hasn’t shipped yet ; Cameras are just ok

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus review: Bold colors, new buttons, pending promises

The 2024 iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus bring plenty of upgrades and a promise of more to come, and strongly make the case that it's okay not to go for the pro models.
