Design and screen – subtle but noticeable differences
At first glance, it is clear that the two models look similar. One of the reasons for this is that Apple did not opt for a visual revolution. And very rightly so, as the brand’s devices are renowned for their elegance and minimalist design. It is consistently held in high regard. However, if we take a closer look, we see that the differences are in the detail.
The iPhone 16 introduces slightly slimmer bezels, as well as a revised button layout. The Pro and Pro Max models also get a new “Capture Button” to make it easier to take photos and videos. The screen itself, meanwhile, on the Pro versions has received higher peak brightness and even better colour reproduction, which photographers and content creators will particularly appreciate.
Performance and processor – a difference you can feel
One of the main elements that differentiates the iPhone 16 from the iPhone 15 is the processor used. While the iPhone 15 features the A16 Bionic chip (familiar from the iPhone 14 Pro, for example), the iPhone 16 introduces the all-new A18 chip (or A18 Pro in Pro versions). It is based even more on the energy-efficient and improved 3 nm technology process. As a result, the device has more processing power, as well as better power efficiency and longer battery life, especially for demanding tasks such as gaming, video editing and augmented reality.
Cameras and photo features – an evolution with a focus on AI
Apple has been consistently evolving the photo features, so the iPhone 16 has seen another advancement. Although both models offer great photo quality, the newer model stands out with more advanced AI-supported image processing. For example, the iPhone 16 Pro’s new ‘Intelligent Scene Analysis’ mode allows it to better recognise scenes, as well as adjust settings in real time. In addition, improved optical zoom (up to x5 on the Pro Max version) and more advanced night modes make this model just right for those who frequently shoot in different lighting conditions.
Battery and charging – more performance, new possibilities
Along with a new processor, the iPhone 16 delivers longer battery life on a single charge. Apple has also made improvements to wireless charging and support for MagSafe. This means even faster and more stable charging, as well as an expanded range of accessories. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 still performs very well in terms of battery and charging speed, so it is a sufficient option for most users who use the phone mainly for communication, internet browsing or the occasional photo.
Apple’s new features on the iPhone 16 – what else to expect?
As with the launch of every model, Apple has also introduced several new features with the iPhone 16. This is at the same time a further development of features having to do with privacy, so the new version of iOS has been optimised for AI, while gaining better support for Apple services such as Vision Pro. The Pro versions also come with more RAM. This improves the performance of multiple apps at once, and also supports a longer device life in terms of updates.
Which model to choose depends primarily on our needs. If you are looking for a robust and powerful phone without the latest features, you will be happy to choose the iPhone 15, especially as it is currently available at attractive prices. If, on the other hand, we are looking for higher performance, photographic innovations and longer technology support, it is worth thinking about buying the iPhone 16.
