iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are built for Apple Intelligence,
the easy-to-use personal intelligence system that understands
personal context to deliver intelligence that is helpful and
relevant while protecting user privacy. The iPhone 16 lineup also
introduces Camera Control, which brings new ways to capture
memories, and later this year, will help users quickly access
visual intelligence to learn about objects or places, interact with
information, and ask detailed questions to discover more about the
world around them. The powerful camera system features a 48MP
Fusion camera with a 2x Telephoto option, giving users two cameras
in one, while a new Ultra Wide camera enables macro photography.
The new A18 chip delivers a huge leap in performance and
efficiency, enabling the most demanding AAA games, as well as a big
boost in battery life. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be
available in five bold colors: black, white, pink, teal, and
Ultramarine.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature Apple Intelligence,
larger display sizes, new creative capabilities with innovative pro
camera features, stunning graphics for immersive gaming, and more —
all powered by the A18 Pro chip. With Apple Intelligence, powerful
Apple-built generative models come to iPhone in the easy-to-use
personal intelligence system that understands personal context to
deliver intelligence that is helpful and relevant while protecting
user privacy. Camera Control unlocks new ways to easily interact
with the advanced camera system and later this year, will enable a
fast, intuitive way to tap into visual intelligence. Featuring a
new 48MP Fusion camera with a faster quad-pixel sensor that enables
4K120 fps video recording in Dolby Vision, these new pro models
achieve the highest resolution and frame-rate combination ever
available on iPhone. Additional advancements include a new 48MP
Ultra Wide camera for higher-resolution photography, including
macro; a 5x Telephoto camera on both Pro models; and studio-quality
mics to record more true-to-life audio. The durable titanium design
is strong yet lightweight, with larger display sizes, the thinnest
borders on any Apple product, and a huge leap in battery life —
with iPhone 16 Pro Max offering the best battery life on iPhone
ever. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be available in four
stunning finishes: Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural
Titanium, and Desert Titanium.
Powered by the same groundbreaking technology as Emergency SOS
via satellite, iPhone 16 users are able to connect to the nearest
satellite to send and receive texts, emoji, and Tapbacks over
iMessage and SMS while outside of cellular and Wi-Fi
coverage.2 Messages via satellite in iOS 18 are
end-to-end encrypted. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models can be
activated with an eSIM, a more secure alternative to a
physical SIM card. With eSIM, users can quickly activate their
cellular plan, store multiple cellular plans on the same
device, and stay connected. TELUS supports eSIM Quick Transfer
which allows users to transfer their existing plan to their new
iPhone, and with eSIM Carrier Activation TELUS can digitally assign
a user's eSIM directly to their iPhone.
