Built for Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no-one else can access your data - not even Apple.¹

Take Total Camera Control

Camera Control gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools, like zoom or depth of field, so you can take the perfect shot in record time.

Get further and closer

The improved Ultra Wide camera with autofocus lets you take incredibly detailed macro photos and videos. Use the 48MP Fusion camera for stunning high-resolution images, and zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto.

Photographic Styles

The latest-generation Photographic Styles give you greater creative flexibility, so you can make every photo even more you. And you can reverse any of those styles any time you want.

Supersmart A18 chip

Designed to last

iPhone 16 has a sturdy, aerospace-grade aluminium design with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display.⁴ It's remarkably durable, with the latest-generation Ceramic Shield material that's 2x tougher than any smartphone glass.

Customise your iPhone

With iOS 18 you can tint your Home Screen icons with any colour. Find your favourite shots faster in the redesigned Photos app. And add playful, animated effects to any word, phrase or emoji in iMessage.⁵
