Apple has announced the iPhone 16, the latest edition of its mainline smartphone. The iPhone 16 comes in a variety of slightly refreshed colors that are more vivid compared to previous years.
Also refreshed is the updated dual-camera arrangement on its rear, once again set up vertically, as last seen on the iPhone 12 from 2020.
The iPhone 16 has a variety of new hardware refinements and features, like a new A18 chip with 3nm process, increased battery life, water and dust resistance,
an Action Button that debuted on last year’s Pro models, satellite messaging (starting in the US and Canada), Wi-Fi 7, improved thermal design for gaming with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and a new physical Camera Control button below the power button.
The new button sits flush with the case and allows swipe and tap gestures for camera app control, as well as physically pressing down slightly to take pictures.
The new A18 chip has six performance cores and four efficiency cores. It’s 30 percent faster than the iPhone 15’s CPU and can use 30 percent less power,
and its GPU is 40 percent faster while using 35 percent less power, likely helping to afford Apple its claim that the iPhone 16 offers a big boost in battery life.
