Thinking of upgrading? Let’s talk about why the Apple iPhone 16 Pro series is generating so much buzz. We’ve tested out it’s gaming performance, customisable camera settings and battery life – and here’s what we found…
Go Big or Go Home: Apple’s Largest Displays Ever
The first thing you’ll notice? These screens are massive. The iPhone 16 Pro’s new 6.3-inch display and the record-setting 6.9 inches on the Pro Max offer edge-to-edge immersion like never before. Imagine catching a game or watching a movie on a display that takes up almost the entire front face. Thin borders mean you get a near bezel-free experience. Can your current phone do that?
Battery Life That Doesn’t Quit
Powered by an ultra-efficient A18 Pro chip, the iPhone 16 Pro Max promises the longest-lasting battery life on any iPhone ever. Stream a whole series, lock in a Call Of Duty marathon, or just spend some time off grid without stressing over a low battery warning.
A DSLR Experience in Your Pocket
Apple’s camera upgrades might be the most impressive part of this launch. With a new 48MP Ultra Wide lens, zero shutter lag, and the Fusion camera’s sharp 24MP, every shot will be packed with pro-level clarity. Plus, with options ranging from 13mm Ultra Wide for big landscape shots to a 5x Telephoto for close-up details, it’s like carrying a DSLR, minus the weight.
A Selection of Photo Styles
Personalise your shots with five skin undertone styles that bring your subjects to life without touching the background. Want a different vibe? Try out nine aesthetic styles that apply distinct colour palettes inspired by photography trends, so your pics look like they came straight from a pro shoot.
Gaming That Goes Beyond Mobile
Here’s where it gets really interesting. The iPhone 16 Pro brings console-quality gaming to your phone with a new 6-core CPU, high-speed ray tracing, and refresh rates up to 120Hz. Translation? Smooth gameplay and zero lag. And Game Mode in iOS 18 ramps things up by minimising background processes, to maintain the highest frame rates for smooth, uninterrupted gameplay.
And Our Favourite Updates with iOS 18?
Personalisation! iOS 18 gives you the freedom to place app icons anywhere on your Home Screen, plus add light, dark, or tinted themes for a fresh look. Messages also got a creative upgrade with animated text effects and Genmoji—a game-changing emoji experience powered by AI. So if you’ve ever wanted to create a ‘disco ball pigeon’ emoji, now you can.
The Verdict? The iPhone 16 lineup might be the ultimate tech investment of the year.
