The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are upcoming smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the eighteenth-generation iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. The devices were unveiled alongside the higher-priced iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max during the September 9, 2024 Apple Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California.[1] Pre-orders are set to begin on September 13, 2024.

History

[edit]

The Radio Equipment Directive, which requires that all electronic devices in the European Union use USB-C charging, was passed into law in 2023. Apple confirmed it would comply with the regulations, and in September of that year revealed that the iPhone 15 would have a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port.[2] The iPhone 16 will also be required to use USB-C under EU law. Additionally, India passed a similar USB-C mandate which will go into effect in March 2025, also affecting the type of charging used for the iPhone 16.[3]

The iPhone 16 will include a new 48-megapixel camera, offering four times the resolution of the iPhone 14. It also features a new ultrawide camera that will allow for more light capture in low-light situations as well as automatic focus.[5]

Every model in the iPhone 16 lineup has support for WiFi 7.[6]
