Our take on the iPhone 16 Plus 256GB

The iPhone 16 Plus is Apple's large-screen phone: a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, the A18 chip with 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Its main draws over the smaller iPhone 16 are the bigger screen and noticeably longer battery life, at the cost of size and weight. Against Android rivals at this size it wins on chip speed, video quality and years of software updates, but trails on zoom reach and charging speed. Reviewers rate it highly as a big-screen phone, while noting it is a modest step up from the iPhone 15 Plus.

Questions and answers

Is the iPhone 16 Plus worth it over the iPhone 16?
If you want the biggest screen and the longest battery life in a standard iPhone, yes. The iPhone 16 is lighter and easier to hold but has a smaller screen and shorter battery life.
How is it different from the iPhone 15 Plus?
It adds the A18 chip, 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence, the Camera Control button and the Action button. The screen size and overall design are close to the 15 Plus, so the upgrade is modest.
Does it have a telephoto or periscope zoom?
No. It has a 48MP main camera and an ultrawide, with 2x zoom from sensor cropping. For real optical zoom you need an iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max.
What comes in the box?
The phone and a USB-C charging cable. There is no power adapter or headphones included, so you need your own USB-C charger.
Does it support physical SIM cards?
US models are eSIM-only. Models sold in many other regions have a nano-SIM tray plus eSIM support, so check the model for your region.

Apple typically supports iPhones with software updates for around five to seven years, so the iPhone 16 Plus should keep receiving new iOS versions well into the 2030s.
