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.”

Apple iPhone 16 review

The Apple iPhone 16 - the namesake of the series - bridges the gap between vanilla models and the Pro models by introducing a refined design, faster...

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

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 Review

Most affordable iPhone 16 model ; High-quality hardware ; Swift performance ; Sharp camera quality ; Good battery life ; Supports Apple Intelligence

60Hz display ; Apple Intelligence features aren't available yet

With a fast processor, long battery life, good cameras, and support for Apple Intelligence, the iPhone 16 is the best value in the company's lineup.

Apple iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus Review: Why Go Pro?

With beefy batteries and the A18 chipset, these colorful iPhones have everything you need and not much you don't.

Good cameras, great performance, and excellent battery life. Supports Apple Intelligence. They're prettier!

60-Hz display. USB 2 data speeds. No always-on display. No telephoto camera.

Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Plus review: all caught up

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are playing catch-up to the Pro line this year, with two new buttons, all-new chipsets, and some useful new camera features.

Correction, September 18th: A previous version of this article referred to a 5x telephoto lens on the iPhone 15 Pro; only the 15 Pro Max has a 5x telephoto lens.

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.

Why I'm recommending the standard iPhone 16 over the Pro this year (and I'm not alone)

Adding more utility, better cameras, and color may just be enough to cover the standard iPhone 16's shortcomings.

That's to say, you shouldn't buy the iPhone 16 for its AI capabilities -- not yet, at least. Until the software is out of beta, my advice is that unless your carrier offers a generous trade-in deal for your iPhone 14 or iPhone 15, you should wait a few...
