iPhone 16 specifications: Display, camera, chipset, and more

Display: The iPhone 16 features a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2556x1179 pixels and a pixel density of 460 ppi. It is IP68-rated, offering resistance against water, splashes, and dust.

Camera: A standout feature of the iPhone 16 is the Camera Control, which provides users with quick access to visual intelligence, helping them identify objects and locations faster. This feature allows users to quickly open the camera, take photos, and start recording videos. An upcoming update will enhance Camera Control, further improving its visual intelligence capabilities.

The iPhone 16 is equipped with a 48MP Fusion camera, which includes a 2x telephoto lens, complemented by a 12MP ultra-wide camera. For selfies, it boasts a 12MP TrueDepth front camera with an ƒ/1.9 aperture. It also supports spatial photo and video capture. Additionally, the iPhone 16 introduces new audio editing tools like Audio Mix, which lets users adjust sound post-capture to focus on the person speaking, simulate a professional studio recording, or balance vocal tracks with surrounding environmental sounds. Wind noise reduction is also improved through advanced machine learning algorithms that minimise unwanted background noise.

Processor: The iPhone 16 is powered by the A18 Bionic chip, designed using second-generation 3-nanometer technology to boost the performance of Apple Intelligence. It features a 16-core Neural Engine, optimised for handling large generative models, and can run machine learning models up to twice as fast as the A16 Bionic chip. The 6-core CPU offers a 30% performance improvement over its predecessor.

Apple Intelligence: Running on iOS 18, the iPhone 16 includes Apple Intelligence, a set of advanced system-wide features. It will be available as a free software update, with initial features rolling out next month in U.S. English for several global regions.

Apple Intelligence introduces integrated writing tools within iOS 18, enabling users to rewrite, proofread, and summarise text in apps like Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party platforms. In the Notes and Phone apps, users can also record, transcribe, and summarise audio. During a call in the Phone app, recordings notify participants, and once the call concludes, Apple Intelligence generates a summary of key points from the conversation.
