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.
Pros:
  • Ready for Apple Intelligence, Great main camera, Spatial photography option
Cons:
  • 60Hz display (no always-on), Ultra wide camera still 12MP

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...

Apple iPhone 16

It might not be that exciting for iPhone 15 owners, but for older iPhone owners, there’s a lot to love about the iPhone 16 experience – it’s just a shame the screen is still capped at 60Hz.
Pros:
  • New Action Button & Camera Controls, Two-generation jump in processing power, Relatively compact and portable
Cons:
  • Camera Control placement isn’t ideal, Apple Intelligence isn’t the best – yet, No telephoto lens

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.
Pros:
  • Stellar performance, Superb, compact display, Excellent cameras, Strong battery life
Cons:
  • Apple Intelligence not available at launch, Fiddly Camera Control button, Charging still slow

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.
Pros:
  • New chip, Excellent battery life, Fun colours, Cheaper than last year
Cons:
  • Display still just 60Hz, Apple Intelligence not available at launch

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?
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • Lags behind the competition without AI integration, Only 60 Hz refresh rate for the display, Camera Control is only really practical in landscape mode
