Is the iPhone 16 Pro worth it over the 16?

Yes if you want the 120Hz display, the third camera with 5x zoom, and the Camera Control button. The standard iPhone 16 covers most everyday needs for less money.

How is the battery life?

Apple rates it at up to 27 hours of video playback. Heavy camera, gaming or hotspot use will get you through a day but not much more.

Does it take a physical SIM?

US models are eSIM only. Some models sold elsewhere still have a physical SIM tray, so check the model number before buying.

The phone and a USB-C cable. There is no charger or earphones included.

Is it compatible with older iPhone cases and chargers?

No for cases, since the body and button layout changed. Existing USB-C cables and most Qi wireless chargers still work.

Prices usually dip during Black Friday, back-to-school sales and after the next iPhone launch. Carrier trade-in deals often beat outright discounts.

Our take on the Apple iPhone 16 Pro

The iPhone 16 Pro is Apple's 2024 flagship phone with a 6.3-inch OLED screen at 120Hz and up to 2000 nits, a titanium body, and the A18 Pro chip. It adds a Camera Control button and Action button, runs iOS 18, and uses eSIM only in the US. Battery is rated at up to 27 hours of video playback and charges wirelessly. It sits at the top of Apple's lineup, so expect to pay near full flagship price rather than bargain levels.
