About this product

iPhone 16 is built for Apple Intelligence, 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 — not even Apple. Now you can take the perfect photo or video in record time. Camera Control gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools. Simply slide your finger to adjust camera functions like exposure or depth of field, and toggle through each lens or use digital zoom to frame your shot — just how you like it. The versatile new iPhone 16 camera system captures beautiful photos — from up close or far away. The two-in-one 48MP Fusion camera lets you take stunning super-high-resolution images, or zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto. The Ultra Wide camera shoots extreme close-up macro photos or wider, more expansive pictures. Altogether, it’s like having four lenses in your pocket. And with spatial capture, you can even take photos and videos in 3D, which you can watch with Apple Vision Pro. Meet A18, custom-built for Apple Intelligence — and so much more. It jumps two generations ahead of the A16 Bionic chip in iPhone 15. And it powers next-level camera features like Photographic Styles and Camera Control. All with exceptional power efficiency to extend battery life. iPhone 16 has been designed to make room for a larger battery, which works together with A18 to deliver a big boost in battery life, even with so many new features. So you can game, binge, and rock on — and on.

So it’s easier than ever to take standout photos with amazing detail — from snapshots to stunning landscapes. A16 Bionic powers all kinds of advanced features. Like computational photography used for 24MP photos and next-gen portraits. Voice Isolation for phone calls. And smooth performance for graphics-intensive games. All with incredible efficiency for great battery life. No wonder it started as a Pro chip. The new USB-C connector lets you charge your Mac or iPad with the same cable you use to charge iPhone 15. You can even use iPhone 15 to charge Apple Watch or AirPods. Bye-bye, cable clutter. What matters to you matters to Apple, too. From privacy protections that give you more control over your data. To using more recycled materials that minimize environmental impact. To creating built-in features that make iPhone accessible to all.
