The biggest iPhone of all time
The top model of the iPhone 16 comes with the largest display Apple has ever built into an iPhone: The iPhone 16 Pro Plus measures 6.9 inches. The smaller Pro version measures 6.3 inches diagonally. Like its predecessor, the casing of the iPhone 16-Pro is made of titanium. There is also a new color: "Desert" shimmers reddish metallic.
Inside is the A18-Pro chip, which is even more powerful than the A18 chip in the normal models and comes with six graphics cores (GPU) instead of five. Without giving details, Apple promises the best battery life of all time.

Powerful chip, upgraded camera
According to Apple, the new A18 chip is 30 percent more powerful than the A16 Bionic. Of course, it should consume less energy with its 5 GPU cores.
The camera sensor now has 48 megapixels. The new camera control button is more than just a shutter release. The touch surface reacts to the strength of the pressure: this allows various camera functions to be activated and controlled.

Completely overhauled inside and out
The new iPhone 16 is trimmed for performance. It has the latest chip, which was previously reserved for the Pro models. The A18 chip is necessary to be able to use the in-depth AI functions of Apple Intelligence.
Another new feature of the iPhone 16 is the action button on the frame, which can be freely assigned. An extra shutter button makes it possible to use the iPhone like a normal camera.

How big can a watch be? The main thing is light!
But let's start with the new Apple Watch: The new Series 10 has the largest OLED display that Apple has ever built for its Apple Watch, says Tim Cook. Despite this, the smartwatch is ten percent slimmer than the previous model and of course also lighter. The built-in speaker is said to be so powerful that you can play music directly with the Apple Watch for the first time. Practical: the new charging function is even faster. The Apple Watch battery is charged to 80 percent in half an hour.
