From the four new models Apple released in September 2024, the standard iPhone 16 is the model most people will buy. While the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max may offer a more advanced feature set, and the 16 Plus provides a bigger screen, this standard model is an incredibly powerful phone with more features than most people will ever need.
This year, Apple has added a few new features across all four models, such as the new camera control button, and the ability to run the forthcoming Apple Intelligence features. The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus have seen a big jump in chip set – from the A16 to A18 – in order to have the processing power to cope with the new AI features. Outside of this year’s phones, only the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are powerful enough to run it. That makes the iPhone 16 the cheapest way to get these features.
