iPhone 16 got a new button and became more productive
The design of the next generation iPhone is similar to the previous one. The changes affect the controls: firstly, instead of a lever to activate silent mode, the smartphone has an action button, like the one on the iPhone 15 Pro, and secondly, there is a camera control button on the other end of the case.
The smartphone is available in two versions: the standard iPhone 16 with a 6.1-inch display and the 16 Plus with a 6.7-inch display. The screen's brightness is 2000 nits, but the refresh rate is unchanged at 60 hertz.
Apple's new A18 chip uses a three-nanometre process, making it both more productive and energy efficient. Compared to the previous generation, performance is up 30% and the processor consumes 35% less power.
The main camera has a resolution of 48 megapixels, and its characteristics are essentially the same as the iPhone 15 Pro module. The ultra-wide-angle module has a resolution of 12 megapixels but has finally received autofocus.
The camera control button deserved special attention during the presentation. It allows you to launch the camera application, take pictures, and quickly change the main settings.
The iPhone 16 starts at USD 800. iPhone 16 Plus is USD 900.
The iPhone 16 Pro has the biggest screen

They come with Apple's most powerful A18 Pro processors, primarily focused on working with artificial intelligence. Apple says it is twice as fast as the previous A17 Pro, and the Apple Intelligence neural network is 15 percent faster.
As before, the back panel houses a three-camera unit. The main and ultra-wide-angle lenses have a resolution of 48 megapixels, while the telescopic sensor, which supports five times zoom, has 12 megapixels.
