Read our full review of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
“For the battery life increase alone, the entry-level iPhone 16 models are worth it, but I recommend the iPhone 16 Plus even more.
Battery life anxiety is real. Nothing is worse than wondering if I’ll be able to order an Uber at the end of the night because I’m only at 20 percent. With the iPhone 16 Plus, however, lasting nearly 19 hours on a single charge, its power efficiency makes it worth every single penny.
On top of that, there’s a new Camera Control button, a tougher display, improved zoom up to 2X, the inheritance of the Action Button, and three stunning new colors (ultramarine, pink, and teal). Oh, and Apple Intelligence, too. Even if you don’t care about AI, you’ll eventually get a sense of FOMO while everyone is sending Genmoji to each other. And well — you can’t.” —Kimberly Gedeon, Former Tech Editor
