Apple iPhone 16 was announced on 9 September, 2024 and pre-order was available from 13 September 2024. The official release date was 20 September, 2024, and pay monthly contracts are available to buy now.

Intelligence meets performance with the Apple iPhone 16. Driven by the powerful A18 bionic chip, built on advanced 3nm technology, it delivers faster performance, improved efficiency, and is designed to handle advanced AI tasks with ease.

The 16-core Neural Engine powers machine learning models up to 2x faster than the A16 chip, backed by a CPU that’s 30% faster and a GPU that’s 40% faster, 35% more efficient, and ready for hardware-based ray tracing. Plus, 8GB RAM for quicker processing, up from 6GB on iPhone 15.

iPhone 16 is built for Apple Intelligence — bringing AI-powered features on iOS 18 that help with writing, photo editing, and smarter Siri interactions, making everyday tasks quicker and more intuitive.

Snap the perfect shot every time. The dual-camera system features a 48MP main camera for high-resolution photos, alongside a 12MP ultra-wide lens for wide-angle shots, with added autofocus on iPhone 16 enabling close-up and macro photography. It also supports spatial photo and video capture for more immersive content.

Capture high-quality 4K video with improved image processing and audio performance. The new Camera Control button lets you quickly open the camera, take photos, and adjust settings like zoom and exposure with simple gestures.

And now, the customisable Action button replaces the mute switch for quick access to regular features like the camera, torch, or Focus modes.

Experience it all on the stunning 6.1 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. Combined with improved efficiency from the A18 chip, iPhone 16 delivers reliable all-day battery life.

Unleash your inner photographer with iPhone 16's advanced dual-camera system. The main 48MP fusion camera features ƒ/1.6 aperture, 100% Focus Pixels, and sensor-shift optical image stabilisation for high-quality images.

The 12MP ultra-wide lens (ƒ/2.2 aperture) offers a 120° field of view, making it ideal for landscapes and group shots, and also enables close-up photography. iPhone 16 also supports spatial photo and video capture. Record immersive content that can be viewed in three dimensions on compatible devices like Apple Vision Pro.

Capture high-quality photos at 2x optical zoom using the main sensor for optical-quality results, even without a dedicated telephoto lens.

Low-light photos look clearer than ever thanks to improved image processing. Shoot 4K Dolby Vision HDR video for a professional look and feel.

Plus, the 12MP TrueDepth front camera (ƒ/1.9 aperture) with autofocus delivers sharp, natural-looking selfies, 4K video recording up to 60fps, high-quality video calls, and content creation.

Snap like a pro with Camera Control — a tactile, pressure-sensitive button that opens the camera. Adjust settings quickly with simple gestures, so you never miss a moment.

iPhone 16 is available in 5 fresh aluminium finishes: Black, White, Pink, Teal, and Ultramarine.
