iPhone 16. Built for Apple Intelligence(1). Featuring Camera Control. 48MP Fusion camera. Five vibrant colours. And A18 chip.
Built for Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data(1).
Take total Camera Control
Camera Control gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools, like zoom or depth of field, so you can take the perfect shot in record time.
Get further and closer
The improved Ultra Wide camera with autofocus lets you take incredibly detailed macro photos and videos. Use the 48MP Fusion camera for stunning high-resolution images, or zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto.
Photographic styles
The latest-generation Photographic Styles give you greater creative flexibility, so you can make every photo even more you. And you can reverse any of those styles anytime
you want.
Supersmart A18 chip
A18 jumps two generations ahead of the A16 Bionic chip in iPhone 15. It enables Apple Intelligence, powers advanced photo and video features, and console-level gaming, with
exceptional power efficiency.
Longer battery life
iPhone 16 works together with the A18 chip to deliver a big boost in battery life with up to 22 hours video playback(2). Charge via USB-C or snap on a MagSafe charger for
faster wireless charging(3).
Designed to last
iPhone 16 has a sturdy, aerospace-grade aluminium design with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display(4). It’s remarkably durable with the latest-generation Ceramic Shield front that’s 2x tougher than any smartphone glass.
Meet the Action Button
A fast track to your favourite feature. Just press and hold to launch the action you want—the flashlight, a voice memo, Silent mode, and more.
Customise your iPhone
With iOS 18, you can tint your Home Screen icons with any colour. Find your favourite shots faster in the redesigned Photos app. And add playful, animated effects to any
word, phrase or emoji in iMessage(5).
Vital safety features

for help if you can't(6).
