Visual Intelligence is also an outstanding feature. iPhone 16 users can use the camera controls to take pictures, for example to capture details from a flyer or learn more about a local restaurant.
The phones also have “significantly longer battery life” and better performance thanks to a new chip, said Kaiann Drance, Apple's vice president of worldwide iPhone product marketing, in a press release. Preorders open Friday; the phones will begin shipping Sept. 20.
The new Apple iPhone 16 Pro is available starting at $999, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is available starting at $1,199.
