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.”

A lot more expensive than corresponding Android alternatives.

Just like every year, we find ourselves in the tough position to choose whether to recommend the iPhone 16 or not. Just like every year, Apple's entry-level current phone is solid through and through, with a delicate mix of lots of familiarity and a...

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

Apple iPhone 16 Review: A Step Forward, But Not a Giant Leap

We are probably looking at a the iPhone that will serve as the new standard for Apple's base flagship in the next few years. That said, it is a base, and there's much to build on top of it.

Awesomely powerful chipset ; Great and reliable video quality ; Great-sounding speakers

Outdated display specifications ; New camera control button is uncomfortable ; Wired charging is still slow

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.
