iPHONE 16 & 16 PLUS REVIEW: THE PHONE FOR EVERYONE CREEPS INTO PRO TERRITORY

Those familiar with Apple's iPhone lineup understand that the company puts out two sets of phones: one set with "Pro" in the name to denote that they have advanced features. Those are not found in the other set of phones, which go by the iPhone name and version number-in this case, it's the iPhone 16 (and iPhone 16 Plus for the larger screen and battery).

Before this release, choosing between the Pro and non-Pro iPhones was a bit of a brain twister. The Pro has the fancier camera setup, and you could convince yourself you don't need it, but then you start to look at the other features that the Pros have (Action button, ProMotion, 5× zoom, newer chip). You could start to develop a fear of missing out.

With that in mind, there's very good news with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus: Some of the major new features Apple introduced are on both the iPhone 16 and the 16 Pro, plus the 16 Pro's features fill a high-end niche that most people aren't going to care about. The FOMO is gone, and with the iPhone 16, Apple has a phone that will make a vast majority of its users very happy.

This review takes a look at the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The only difference between the two is the size; the chip, display technology, buttons, cameras, and just about everything else is the same. When I refer to the iPhone 16, I'm talking about both phones and I call out the iPhone 16 Plus specifically when necessary, such as with the battery.

ACTION BUTTON AND CAMERA CONTROL
