Pre-orders begin on September 13th, with the official release on September 20th. Storage options remain consistent with the iPhone 15 series, offering 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB variants. The color palette features five vibrant choices: black, white, pink, teal, and ultramarine.
Performance is boosted thanks to the integration of the A18 chip, resulting in a remarkable 30% increase in CPU speed and a 40% improvement in GPU speed compared to the iPhone 15.

iPhone 16 Standard Models: A Glimpse of the New
The most significant design change in the standard iPhone 16 models is the transition of the camera placement from vertical to horizontal. This strategic shift allows for the capture of immersive 3D video experiences for Apple Vision Pro, marking a significant advancement in video capture technology.
Another notable addition is the dedicated ‘Camera Control’ button. This innovative feature combines touch sensor technology with haptic feedback, offering a seamless and responsive experience for capturing photos and videos. Users can utilize the button as a shutter release or swipe left and right to adjust zoom levels, making camera operations more intuitive and efficient.
The ‘Action Button’ is now integrated across all iPhone 16 models, previously exclusive to the Pro series. This button, activated by a simple long press, offers quick access to various functions like flashlight, voice memo, and silent mode. It also streamlines in-app actions, making tasks like setting alarms or ordering your morning coffee effortless.
iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max: Refinement and Power
While the iPhone 16 Pro series maintains a familiar aesthetic, the display size has undergone a subtle upgrade, offering a slightly larger screen experience. The overall dimensions and weight have increased marginally compared to the previous models.
Storage options for the iPhone 16 Pro range from 128GB to 1TB, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers a starting capacity of 256GB, expanding up to 1TB. Apple continues to utilize titanium in its construction, offering a premium feel and durability. The Pro series is available in four elegant titanium finishes: black titanium, natural titanium, white titanium, and desert titanium.
Similar to the standard iPhone 16 models, the iPhone 16 Pro series is priced starting at ¥159,800, maintaining consistency with the previous Pro series. Pre-orders commence on September 13th, coinciding with the standard models, with an official release date set for September 20th.
Enhanced Camera Capabilities
The iPhone 16 Pro models feature a noteworthy upgrade, making the telephoto lens previously exclusive to the Pro Max available on both Pro models. The ultra-wide lens has also been significantly upgraded from 12MP to 48MP, promising a level of detail and dynamic range previously unseen on an iPhone. For the first time in the iPhone series, 4K 120FPS video recording is now supported, enabling users to capture incredibly smooth and high-quality videos.
’AudioMix’ for Precise Sound Control
Leveraging cutting-edge intelligence and spatial audio recording, ‘AudioMix’ emerges as a powerful audio control tool. With three distinct voice options, users can fine-tune the audio experience within their videos, allowing them to emphasize specific voices or minimize background noise. Whether you want to isolate the voices of those in your video or enhance the overall audio clarity, ‘AudioMix’ provides unparalleled flexibility and control, both during and after video capture.
The iPhone 16 series represents a significant leap forward in mobile technology, blending powerful AI, enhanced cameras, and refined design to deliver a truly transformative smartphone experience.
