Product details

The new camera control allows you to access camera tools such as zoom or depth of field more easily and quickly, enabling you to take the perfect photo in record time.

Capture incredibly detailed macro photos and videos with the improved ultra-wide angle camera featuring autofocus. Take stunning high-resolution pictures with the 48 MP Fusion camera or zoom in with the 2x telephoto zoom in optical quality.

The latest generation of photographic styles offers more creative flexibility, allowing you to make every photo uniquely yours. You can also undo all styles at any time.

The A18 chip represents a two-generation leap from the A16 Bionic chip in the iPhone 15, enabling advanced photo and video features as well as console-level gaming with exceptional power efficiency.

The iPhone 16 Plus, powered by the A18 chip, provides a significant boost to battery life with up to 27 hours of video playback. Charge via USB-C or connect a MagSafe charger for faster wireless charging.

The iPhone 16 Plus features a rugged space-age aluminum design with a 6.7" Super Retina XDR display. It is extremely durable, equipped with the latest generation Ceramic Shield on the front, which is twice as hard as any other smartphone glass.

The action button is the fastest way to access your favorite features. Simply press and hold it to start functions like the torch, a voice memo, or silent mode.

With iOS 18, you can customize the icons on your home screen in any shade you like. Find your favorite shots faster in the redesigned Photos app and add playful, animated effects to words, sentences, or phrases in iMessage.

Important safety features include Accident Detection, which allows the iPhone to recognize a serious car accident and call for help when you cannot.
