Our take on the Apple iPhone 16 Plus 256 GB

The iPhone 16 Plus is Apple's large-screen standard model: a 6.7-inch OLED at 1290x2796, the A18 chip, and a 48MP main camera with a 12MP ultrawide. Its edge over the Pro is battery life and a lower weight for the size; its edge over the smaller iPhone 16 is screen and endurance, at the cost of one-hand use. Reviewers rate the big screen and long battery highly but note the 60Hz refresh rate, slow charging and modest zoom next to Android rivals and the Pro. It suits people who want a big iPhone for video, reading and all-day use without paying Pro prices.

Questions and answers

Is the iPhone 16 Plus worth it over the standard iPhone 16?
If you want a bigger screen and longer battery life, yes. The two share the A18 chip and cameras, so the Plus mainly buys size and endurance.
How does it compare with the iPhone 16 Pro Max?
The Pro Max adds a 120Hz display, a telephoto lens and a titanium body. The Plus keeps the same large size for less, but gives up those extras.
Does it have a 120Hz display?
No. The 6.7-inch OLED runs at 60Hz, which is the most common complaint from reviewers.
What is in the box?
The phone and a USB-C cable. There is no charger or case included.
Does it support physical SIM cards?
It takes a Nano-SIM plus eSIM, so you can run two lines. There is no hybrid dual-SIM tray.
Is 256GB enough?
For most people, yes. It holds years of photos and apps, though heavy 4K video shooters may want more.
