The iPhone 16 has several key improvements over its predecessor. It features the new A18 chipset, which improves device performance by 30%. The presentation mentioned an increase in the chip's energy efficiency without specifying specific figures. The iPhone 16 also received 8 GB of RAM for the first time (the iPhone 15 had 6 GB), which helps improve performance, multitasking, and data buffering.


The cameras have also undergone changes: the main 48 MP lens and the ultra-wide 12 MP now support spatial video shooting. Camera control has been simplified thanks to the new Camera Control button on the end, which allows you to instantly turn on the camera, change the image scale, and also take photos and shoot videos with one click. In addition to Camera Control, a multifunctional Action Button has been added, which was previously only available in Pro versions.

At the 16th-generation event, Apple unveiled the Apple Intelligence concept, a set of AI tools that includes an image generator, a text assistant, tools for automatically summarizing text, and other useful features.

Otherwise, it's a classic iPhone with a 6.1-inch OLED/Super Retina XDR display, a water-resistant glass and metal case, Wi-Fi 7 support, FaceID security system, Power Delivery 3.0 charging, a cutout for the Dynamic Island front camera, and other flagship features. The basic version is available in five shades, and the internal storage capacity varies from 128 to 512 GB.
