The iPhone 16 is here, and it’s back with an extra effort from Apple to regain the market share it lost to its strongest competitors, Samsung and Huawei. He had somewhat neglected the standard model and had fallen behind, but Tim Cook’s company realized its mistake and came back to make amends. Before continuing on to the topic that brings us here, that is, Best Buy’s liquidation of its stock of iPhone 16s, we are going to review each of the available models a little as a comparison tool.
Let’s start with the standard iPhone 16. This small (although powerful) device finally stops being the ugly duckling of the family and receives some juicy improvements that make it a fighting ring to battle others like the Samsung S series. The iPhone 16 standard comes equipped with a very versatile upgraded camera, with photo styles that will make your social networks look more epic than ever. Now, Apple has introduced a customizable action button that allows you to do quick, specific tasks.
The Good and the Bad Things of the iPhone 16
Despite all the good things it brings, not everything is perfect on the iPhone 16 standard. The downside is that it still comes with a 60Hz display, which for some tech purists is “meh.” We know nerds demand high refresh rates, but if you can live without that extra smoothness, the rest of the package leaves some satisfied. Overall, it’s a solid jump if you’re coming from an older model.
Again, the camera is reliable, and that action button is still a nerdy little detail you’ll appreciate. The downside is still the standard frequency display, but in terms of power, thanks to the new chipset and improved RAM, this iPhone flies like no other in its range.
The iPhone 16 Plus — A Gem for Those Who Like a Fast and Stable Phone
A larger screen and larger features is what the iPhone 16 Plus offers. The A18 chip and 5-core GPU processor are a small rocket packed into a smartphone that are combined with more RAM than its predecessor. It also comes with the customizable action button that allows you to quickly access the camera and take photos, or assign it to other tasks at the user’s convenience.
Getting back to the screen, it’s 6.7 inches, which is substantially larger than the standard 6.1-inch iPhone. That is, you can have good features in both models, and it all depends on the preferred size that works best, depending on whether you want it to fit in your pants pocket, or if you want to watch videos with a larger screen size. Apple promises up to 27 hours of continuous video playback on a single charge.
The iPhone 16 Max and Pro Max, the Big Brothers of the Family
Both Apple and Samsung have been receiving criticism for the lack of analysis regarding how ergonomic phones should be. Unless you get a case designed specifically to be ergonomic, it’s likely to slip out of your hand, and that happens a lot more with phones that are larger.
Apple seems to have listened to the criticism with the addition of its customizable button which, of course, is incorporated into the most complete of its models, the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Thanks to the faster A18 processor, shutter lag is imperceptible, and response time is possibly the best on the market (until Samsung proves otherwise). In addition to the screen refresh that can be improved (if you read me, Tim, pay attention to this), the 6.9-inch display (remember that the Plus is 6.7 inches) with ProMotion Technology and the A18 Pro chip 6-core GPU processor, this phone will never freeze or fall short in any of its features.
