The iPhone 16 is one of the most comprehensive generation-over-generation upgrades Apple has served up in years. But is it enough to ditch the iPhone 14 Pro?
Apple ’s smartphones are finally entering a new era — a phase where the software is driving as much innovation as the hardware. In fact, if one looks at the magnitude of changes that iOS 18 brings to the table with Apple Intelligence at the helm, the hardware enhancements pale in comparison. The Apple iPhone 16 Pro is at the forefront of that movement, thanks largely to the inclusion of Apple ’s new AI, which is likely to become a core part of everyone’s iOS experience when it launches.
Another crucial difference concerns the edges. The iPhone 14 Pro’s sides were quite sharp and the phone dug into the palm in quite an uncomfortable fashion. The iPhone 16 Pro takes a more rounded approach to the edges, making it cozier to hold, if not a day-and-night difference. Another crucial change is the introduction of two extra buttons on the iPhone 16 Pro that replace the mute switch on the iPhone 14 Pro. The Action button has already become a favorite of folks for folks looking to execute tasks or even shortcuts with the press of a button.
On the imaging side, the iPhone 16 Pro enables full 48MP macro capture and can also take Spatial Pictures suited for viewing on the Apple Vision Pro headset. There are also new photographic styles on the table, alongside a new pad adjustment system to achieve the exact strength of a specific style. While that sounds appealing, it’s really the video capture side of things where the iPhone 16 Pro races into an altogether different league.
Now, depending on how excited you are about AI, you may or may not make an upgrade choice, but here’s the lowdown. The A16 Bionic in the iPhone 14 Pro is based on TSMC’s 4nm process, and it serves a six-core CPU and a five-core graphics engine. The iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro, built atop the newer 3nm node, packs six graphics cores.
There’s a lot to unpack. The Notes app gets Writing Tools that let you handle rewrites, corrections, formatting, and summarization with a single click. AI smarts have also been extended to the Mail app, where they enable email summarization as well as smart reply suggestions. Apple Intelligence really is a big difference here — but it’s worth remembering that Apple Intelligence isn’t available yet, even on iOS 18. Instead, it will launch with iOS 18.1.
iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro: availability and price The Apple iPhone 16 Pro is now available for sale. The base model of the phone will set you back $999, with more storage costing more and rising all the way to a 1TB option. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro is similar, with the same storage options and an initial starting price of $999.
