The iPhone 16 has finally hit the stores, and with each release, the Apple loyalists and tech, is it worth the upgrade? With a mix of incremental improvements and fewer major changes, the iPhone 16 did indeed raise the stakes on what to expect from a smartphone. But does it justify the expense for those who already own a relatively recent model? Let’s break down the new features and help you decide whether or not the upgrade is worth it.

1. Design and Display: A More Refined Experience

While Apple’s overall iconic iPhone design has been left well alone, there is still plenty of noticeable refinement to it. With a slightly thinner profile, the new iPhone 16 models feel lighter and fit much better in your hand compared to the iPhone 15.

2. What new things does the iPhone 16 do?

The iPhone 16 picks up a brand-new A18 chip, the “Camera Control” button, the new Photographic Styles, and it’ll get access to Apple Intelligence (AI) when those features launch. That’s in addition to the “Action Button” and other extras launched on the Pro models last year.
