iPhone 16 is built for Apple Intelligence, 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.

Privacy Apple logo

Great powers come with great privacy.

Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of iPhone through on‑device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information.

And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger Apple-designed server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.

Camera

Take total Camera Control. Touch. Zoom. Click. Quick.

A finger slides along the Camera Control button to adjust the zoom

Now you can take the perfect photo or video in record time. Camera Control gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools. Simply slide your finger to adjust camera functions like exposure or depth of field and toggle through each lens or use digital zoom to frame your shot — just how you like it.

How to use Camera Control

Camera System

New camera system. Go to great lengths to get the perfect shot.

The versatile new iPhone 16 camera system captures beautiful photos — from up close or far away. The two-in-one 48MP Fusion camera lets you take stunning super-high-resolution images, or zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto. The Ultra Wide camera shoots extreme close-up macro photos or wider, more expansive pictures. Altogether, it’s like having four lenses in your pocket. And with spatial capture, you can even take photos and videos in 3D, which you can watch with Apple Vision Pro.

Ultra Wide camera

Ultra Wide camera. Focus on the little things.
And the bigger picture.

The new Ultra Wide camera with autofocus takes incredibly sharp, detailed macro photos and videos. You can also frame more expansive scenes without taking a step back. And because it has a larger aperture and bigger pixels, it can capture up to 2.6x more light for higher image quality — even in low light.

Spatial Capture

Spatial Capture. Bring a whole new dimension to your photos and videos.

With its realigned cameras, iPhone 16 lets you take magical photos and videos in a whole new way using spatial capture. So you can relive those moments in immersive 3D with Apple Vision Pro.

How to take spatial photos and videos

Audio

Audio Mix. Make your voice heard.

The Audio Mix feature demonstrated on an iPhone 16 in White

Powered by advanced intelligence and Spatial Audio capture, Audio Mix lets you adjust the way voices sound in your videos using three different voice options. Want to decrease background sound? Or just focus on the voices that are in frame? Simply select the mix and adjust intensity to get the sound you want after video capture.

In-frame

Only captures the voice of the people on camera, even if people off camera are talking during the recording.

Studio

Makes voices sound like you’re recording inside a professional studio equipped with sound‑dampening walls. Great for vloggers or podcasters because the recording will sound like the mic is close to the subject’s mouth, even if it’s slightly further away.

Cinematic

Captures all of the voices around you and consolidates them towards the front of the screen — just like sound is formatted for the movies.

Photographic Style

Lock in your look.

We’ve created new styles that let you dial in your exact desired look with more advanced skin-tone rendering and set it across your photos. And thanks to the powerful A18 chip, you can see the change in a live preview before you apply it.

Align with your aesthetic.

Our improved image pipeline also enables more creative styles, which allow you to customise the different moods of a photo through colour.

Make the most of your megapixels.

Personalise every style even more with the new control pad, which makes it easy to adjust tone and colour simultaneously. You can also use the slider to adjust the intensity of the specific colours, instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

A18 chip

A18 chip. Hi. IQ.

Meet A18, custom-built for Apple Intelligence — and so much more. It jumps two generations ahead of the A16 Bionic chip in iPhone 15. And it powers next-level camera features like Photographic Styles and Camera Control. All with exceptional power efficiency to extend battery life.

Battery

Even longer battery life. You’ll need to recharge
before it will.

iPhone 16 has been designed to make room for a larger battery, which works together with A18 to deliver a big boost in battery life, even with so many new features. So you can game, binge and rock on — and on.

Snap on a new MagSafe charger for even faster wireless charging3 — up to 25W with a 30W power adapter or higher, enabling up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes.4

Durable design

Durable design. Who says beauty
isn’t meant to last.

iPhone 16 has a sturdy, aerospace-grade aluminium enclosure and strong — and beautiful — colour-infused glass on the back. The latest-generation Ceramic Shield material is two times tougher than any smartphone glass. And a new internal design dissipates heat more effectively, so you’ll get better performance overall, especially when it comes to gaming.

You can also set up Shortcuts to open an app, run a series of tasks or change actions depending on the time of day or your location. Or use it to take actions in an app, like setting an alarm or even ordering your favourite coffee drink.

Safety

Crash Detection uses hardware sensors and advanced motion algorithms to detect a severe car crash, then call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts when you can’t — even when you don’t have service.7

Environment

All Apple data centres — including those that power Apple Intelligence — run on 100% renewable electricity.

iPhone 16 uses more recycled metals than ever: over 95% recycled lithium in the battery.8 100% recycled gold in the plating of the USB-C connector and camera wires. 100% recycled copper foil in the MagSafe inductive charger.

The packaging for iPhone 16 is 100% fibre based for the first time.9 And it’s thinner, which reduces the carbon impact for shipping.10

Privacy

Apple Intelligence protects your privacy at every step. With on‑device processing and Private Cloud Compute, no one but you can access your data — not even Apple.

The new Passwords app makes it even easier to access account passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, two-factor authentication codes and more. It stores them securely and syncs across your devices with end-to-end encryption.

You can also control which contacts to share with an app, rather than giving it access to all your contacts. And you can choose to share more contacts over time.

Accessibility

Eye Tracking makes it possible to navigate your iPhone and use your favourite apps just by moving your eyes, thanks to the power of machine learning and the front-facing camera.

Music Haptics matches the iPhone Taptic Engine with the rhythm of songs. So people who are deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the Apple Music catalogue in a whole new way.

Vocal Shortcuts helps people with severe atypical speech record sounds that trigger specific actions on iPhone — set a timer, take a screenshot, scroll up and down and more.
