Apple IPhone 16

Key Specifications

• Display: 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. It maintains the crisp resolution and Dynamic Island interface but continues to feature a 60Hz refresh rate. It reaches up to 2,000 nits peak outdoor brightness.  

• Performance: Powered by the A18 chip (3nm node), a massive jump in capability designed specifically to support Apple Intelligence and console-level gaming with much better power efficiency.  

• Camera System: The rear camera module was redesigned for a vertical alignment to support spatial video capture.  

• Main: 48 MP Fusion camera (f/1.6) with sensor-shift optical image stabilization.  

• Ultra Wide: 12 MP (f/2.2) with a 120° field of view and, notably, autofocus for improved macro photography.
