Now that Apple has wrapped up its reveal of the iPhone 16 series, including the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, what are the major takeaways?
While a lot was introduced, not everything we anticipated made the cut—like the expected Apple Watch Ultra 2. Apple’s new AI features were discussed but won’t be available at launch. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, unveiled towards the end of the presentation, highlighted advanced videography capabilities, though these may not be utilized by the majority of users.
On a positive note, the new iPhones feature smaller bezels, which enhances the visual experience, and the displays have received a resolution upgrade. The iPhone 16 Pro now boasts a resolution of 2,622 x 1,206 pixels (up from 2,556 x 1,179 pixels), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a resolution of 2,868 x 1,320 pixels (up from 2,796 x 1,290 pixels).
Although the new models are slightly larger and heavier, the difference is minimal and likely unnoticeable to most users.
A notable update is the battery enhancement, which looks promising on paper, though detailed performance metrics are still awaited.
