The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are just around the corner, and they promise some exciting new features. While the Pro models often steal the spotlight, you'll want to take a close look at the non-Pro variants this year, too. Below, you'll learn all about the five most important new features on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, launching as early as next month.
Apple has once again managed to keep the excitement around its latest iPhone models alive. At a time when technological innovations are advancing at an ever-increasing pace, the question is whether the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will live up to the high expectations. The answer: Absolutely! Let's explore together the five most important features that make the iPhone 16 a must-have for Apple fans.
A18 chip and Apple Intelligence
The new A18 chip is at the heart of the iPhone 16. With 8GB of RAM, it delivers impressive performance and allows you to take advantage of the latest Apple Intelligence features (when available). These features, which were previously reserved for the Pro models, take the iPhone 16 to a whole new level. With iOS 18.1, which will be released in October, users can look forward to a variety of new, intelligent applications.
Action button: More than just a mute switch
The Action button, which was introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro last year, will now also be available on the non-Pro models - so the rumors go! This customizable button can be used for various functions, be it the camera, shortcuts or other system controls. With iOS 18, the Action button becomes even more versatile, so you can customize your iPhone exactly to your needs.
New capture button for lightning-fast photos
Another exciting new feature is the new capture button, which is located on the right side of the iPhone 16. This button is touch-sensitive and allows you to quickly and easily take photos without having to touch the display. You can even control the zoom by swiping across the capture button, making photography even more intuitive.
More compact camera nose for better spatial videos
Apple has revised the camera design, and the camera nose of the iPhone 16 is now significantly narrower. The two lenses are arranged vertically one above the other, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also makes it easier to record spatial videos. You can then watch these videos with Apple's Vision Pro, a real highlight for technology lovers.
Improved battery life thanks to new technology
Another plus point of the iPhone 16 is the extended battery life. The new stacked battery design achieves a higher energy density, which leads to longer usage times. What's particularly interesting is that although the iPhone 16 Plus has a smaller battery than its predecessor, rumors still promise satisfactory performance.
iPhone 16: The perfect combination of performance and functionality
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offer some exciting new features this year that make them an attractive choice. From the powerful A18 chip to the versatile Action button to improved battery life, these models have a lot to offer. So, if you're looking for a new iPhone that combines cutting-edge technology with practical features, then the iPhone 16 is definitely one to keep an eye on.
