iPhone 16 Plus: Price and Specs
Apple launched its much-anticipated iPhone 16 series on November 13, 2024, during the Glowtime event. At this event, Apple unveiled the specs and design of the new iPhone 16 lineup, alongside the Ultra Watch 2 and AirPods 4. The iPhone 16 series includes four models: iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 16 Plus, and 16 Pro Max, all available in new colors and featuring several enhancements.
Let’s dive into the iPhone 16 Plus and its features.
Tech enthusiasts are divided. While some are praising the innovations, others expected more groundbreaking advancements. One of the standout features is the camera control button—a dedicated side button that gives the iPhone 16 Plus camera controls similar to a professional lens camera. This button allows users to zoom, capture photos, and even shoot cinematic videos with ease.
The iPhone 16 Plus is equipped with a 48 MP rear wide camera and a 12 MP front camera, providing stunning photo and video quality. Its immersive 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display boasts an OLED screen with a resolution of 2796×1290 pixels at 460 ppi, making visuals sharper and more vibrant.
Available in five colors—Black, White, Pink, Teal, and Ultramarine—the iPhone 16 Plus offers storage capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
As Google launched its Pixel 9 series packed with AI features, the competition in the tech world is heating up. Apple has introduced its own AI-driven technology called Apple Intelligence, currently in beta, with a full release expected by the end of the year.
The iPhone 16 series is powered by the custom-built A18 chip, which is two generations ahead of the A16. This chip enhances the performance of Apple Intelligence, ensuring faster, smoother operations. Apple claims the iPhone 16 Plus will be 30% faster than its predecessor, the iPhone 15 series. The new chip also optimizes battery life, though users will get a true sense of its longevity when the iPhone 16 Plus hits the market on November 20.
