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
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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.
Pros:
  • Ready for Apple Intelligence, Great main camera, Spatial photography option
Cons:
  • 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?
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

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

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
