Discover the latest features of the iPhone 16 as detailed by The Sun's Head of Technology and Science in the video above. Apple enthusiasts are buzzing about the new advancements introduced at Monday’s grand event. The tech titan unveiled four new models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
One of the standout changes is the revamped button configuration, including the introduction of a new "Camera Control" button. This innovative feature allows users to quickly access the camera app for faster photo and video capture. Unlike traditional buttons, this one is recessed and blends seamlessly into the device's surface, resembling a fingerprint reader seen on Android phones. Additionally, this button provides access to Apple's Visual Intelligence capabilities, enabling users to scan their surroundings for additional information, such as online reviews and menus of nearby restaurants.
The iPhone 16 also sees updates to the Action Button, which can now be customized to open any app or function of your choice. Users can even set it to perform different actions based on the time of day or location.
Battery life is another area where Apple has made significant improvements. Although the exact battery size remains undisclosed, the company claims that the iPhone 16 Pro Max lasts up to four hours longer than its predecessor. With up to 33 hours of video playback on the Pro Max and 27 hours on the iPhone 16 Pro, these advancements are attributed to an "optimized internal design" and the new A18 Pro chip.
