Pros

• Display size slightly increased from 6.1 to a much more comfortable 6.3 inches with ultra-thin bezels.
• Finally receives the incredible 5x optical zoom tetraprism lens (previously exclusive to the Pro Max).
• Includes the brand-new capacitive physical Camera Control button.
• Upgraded A18 Pro chip handles all on-device Apple Intelligence tasks flawlessly and supports 4K 120fps video.

Cons

• Noticeably heavier than the incredibly light iPhone 15 Pro, stepping away from that weightless feel.
• The new Camera Control button is awkwardly placed and takes significant time to master.
• Base storage incredibly remains at 128GB, which is unacceptable given the 4K 120fps video capabilities.
• Many of the heavily advertised Apple Intelligence features were significantly delayed at launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the iPhone 16 Pro have the 5x optical zoom?

Yes! Apple finally brought the 5x optical zoom tetraprism lens down to the smaller 16 Pro model, completely matching the camera capabilities of the Pro Max.

How big is the iPhone 16 Pro screen?

Apple increased the screen size slightly from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches by dramatically shrinking the black bezels around the display.

What is the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 Pro?

It is a new capacitive button on the side of the device. You can press it to take a photo or slide your finger across it to smoothly adjust settings like zoom and exposure.

Does the iPhone 16 Pro support Apple Intelligence?

Yes, the powerful new A18 Pro chip was designed specifically from the ground up to handle all of Apple's on-device AI features efficiently.

Is the iPhone 16 Pro heavier than the 15 Pro?

Yes. Due to the slightly larger screen, new camera hardware, and increased battery size, it is noticeably heavier than the exceptionally light titanium iPhone 15 Pro.
