Planning to buy the new iPhone 16 Pro? Before you book or buy your device, let’s take a closer look at the 5 must-know features of the iPhone 16 Pro.
The biggest
Of all the iPhones released to date, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are the largest iPhones ever. The former comes with 6.3-inch and the latter with 6.9-inch displays. The microscopic bezels make them look even bigger. Being big also implies that they have the longest battery life.
The camera control
The camera tool is the one feature that grabs the eyeballs of iPhone lovers. This control tool comes in the entire lineup of iPhone 16 models. It is a physical button similar to the shutter button on a DSLR. It comes on the bottom right side of the phone with touch-capacitive capabilities. A soft press on the button focuses on the subject. A hard press captures the photo. Clicking and holding will record a video. Swiping on the button switches between photo and video modes or zoom in and out.
Even though the camera control button is available on all iPhone 16 models, the feature works well with the advanced camera and the A18 Pro processor on the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. It is intended to provide a more seamless user experience that sets the Pro and Pro Max apart. Camera Control gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools, like zoom or depth of field, so you can take the perfect shot in record time. The Visual Intelligence feature is also expected to be paired with the A18 Pro processor. This will make photoing faster and more efficient.
iPhone 16 Pro with the 5x zoom
The 16 Pro and the 16 Pro Max are here with the high-end zoom capability. That said, the camera is the same on the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. You can now take your videos with 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision, enabled by the 48MP Fusion camera. The improved 48MP Ultra-Wide camera lets you capture mesmerizing detail in macro photos and wide-angle shots. So, what are you waiting for?
Siri’s makeover
Siri has been the same for a while now and like everyone, it needed a makeover. First released in 2010, Apple’s virtual assistant hit the headlines setting the stage for the ecosystem of virtual assistant technology. But it is high time that it needs some tweaks and tricks to brush up. And maybe that’s why Siri decided to stand tall among its rival AI models with new functionalities. The new Siri is powered by Apple Intelligence. It includes conversational context to make it carry out more human-like interactions. It can also make multi-step actions like adding photos to specific albums and sharing them.
iPhone 16 Pro with Upgraded chipset
Finally, “Apple Intelligence” Apple’s own first-party generative AI (gen AI), is coming to the iPhone 16 series. It is powered by the new A18 Pro chip which is up to 15% faster than the A17 Pro. The chip has 17% more memory bandwidth and uses 20% less power in the process. Adding to the style and power, there are advanced display engine on the A18 Pro. It sports features like ProMotion and the always-on display. The 3mm technology has smaller yet more efficient transistors.
