Apple Unveils iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus with Camera Button

Apple has launched the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, packed with significant upgrades in design, performance, and functionality. The new models feature an aluminum frame made with 85% recycled content and an enhanced Ceramic Shield, offering improved durability.

Display brightness reaches up to 2000 nits, dropping to just 1 nit in low-light settings, with two same screen size options: 6.1 inches for the iPhone 16 and 6.7 inches for the iPhone 16 Plus. Of course, there are new colours as well that look more vibrant. Look at that pink colour!
