The iPhone 16 is the closest a base-model iPhone has come to the Pro models. In places, this is a genuinely impressive update, with serious performance gains, intuitive new controls, and fabulously vibrant colors. The dimensions, display, and camera system are all unchanged from the iPhone 15, and Apple Intelligence is still yet to arrive, but this remains the obvious choice for most Apple customers.
For
- The largest iPhone display ever
- Camera Control functionality
- Incredible performance
Against
- No Apple Intelligence at launch
- Very expensive
The iPhone 15 is no less reliable than it was at launch, but the fact that it'll never support Apple Intelligence raises serious questions about the likelihood of new features coming over time. It's also likely to age faster given its slightly older chipset and a smaller amount of RAM. That said, the iPhone 15 has the same screen, form factor, and camera system as the iPhone 16 (save for the Camera Control button), so those looking to save a little money may still be tempted.
For
- Great performance
- Excellent cameras
- Stunning titanium build
Against
- No Camera Control
- No fast charging
