Apple iPhone 16 review: forget the Pro, this is the pick of the 2024 iPhones
This year it’s the base level iPhone that boasts the most interesting combo of price and feature set – here’s why- Makes the Pro look poor value, The telephoto is very welcome, Great that Camera Control has made it to the standard model as well as the Pro, Long-lasting battery
- We’d like some brighter colors please, No Apple Intelligence at launch, 60Hz refresh rate is old news, Camera Control can be fiddly
Apple iPhone 16 review
The iPhone 16 isn’t a major upgrade over the 15, but its subtle picture upgrades and top-notch sound make it a five-star handset. Rich and detailed picture Excellent sound performance Plenty of “Pro” features on this regular model AI features missing at launch Camera Control button feels misplaced...
iPhone 16 review: clever, not just intelligent
Apple's base level iPhone is the cheapest route into Apple Intelligence features. More than that, though, it's a really solid phone with a powerful processor, a brilliant screen and a high quality camera system to take great pictures.- Ready for Apple Intelligence, Great main camera, Spatial photography option
- 60Hz display (no always-on), Ultra wide camera still 12MP
iPhone 16 Review: How Untypical, Apple!
Apple introduced its new iPhone models with the accompanying motto, "It's Glowtime". The in-house AI integration of "Apple Intelligence" was supposed to make the iPhone glow, it's just a shame that it's not ready yet. Is it still worth upgrading to the iPhone 16?- New shortcuts with the Action Button and Camera Control, Major hardware upgrade thanks to A18 SoC and 8 GB RAM, Image quality can be customized in many ways, Outstanding battery life
- Lags behind the competition without AI integration, Only 60 Hz refresh rate for the display, Camera Control is only really practical in landscape mode
Apple iPhone 16 (Review Apple iPhone 16)
The best iPhone for most people- Most affordable iPhone 16 model, High-quality hardware, Swift performance, Sharp camera quality, Good battery life, Supports Apple Intelligence
- 60Hz display
iPhone 16 review: No mo’ Pro FOMO
For once, the base model iPhone doesn’t feel like a compromise. Since it’s missing a key feature at launch, we can’t give it a perfect score, but wait a couple of months to get your hands on it and you’ll be the owner of the best base-level iPhone in years.- New chip, Excellent battery life, Fun colours, Cheaper than last year
- Display still just 60Hz, Apple Intelligence not available at launch
Apple iPhone 16 review: Almost pro
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus get all sorts of new features that bring them more in line with the pro models.- Camera Control is kinda cool!, A18 chip brings improved performance, You get an Action Button, Better battery life, Faster wired and wireless charging
- Camera Control isn’t perfect, Still no ProMotion

The iPhone 16 Pro is now my gold standard for phone photography
Apple's iPhone 16 Pro line features a few notable upgrades over last year's iPhone 15 Pro, including a dedicated camera button, a new A18 Pro chip, a bigger screen, and several AI-powered Apple Intelligence features.- The Camera Control button is great, The A18 Pro is powerful, It still features the best phone display
- Apple Intelligence's features are delayed, Nearly identical to the iPhone 15, Camer Control button can be finicky
Apple iPhone 16 Pro review: The full experience…eventually
The iPhone 16 Pro is the best compact flagship phone you can buy, avoiding the battery life issues that affect the Pixel 9 Pro. However, the headlining AI features are disappointingly unavailable right now, and other bugbears like slow charging remain.- Stellar performance, Superb, compact display, Excellent cameras, Strong battery life
- Apple Intelligence not available at launch, Fiddly Camera Control button, Charging still slow
