iPhone 16 Plus Review: The One Worth Buying This Year

2024
is
the
year
when
I
can
finally
say
that
the
iPhone
16
is
the
perfect
choice
in
the
latest
iPhone
line-up.
Of
course,
it
misses
out
on
many
Pro
features
like
a
ProMotion
display,
a
telephoto
camera,
and
better
camera
sensors,
which
are
limited
to
expensive
Pro
models.
But
still,
the
iPhone
16s
(iPhone
16
and
iPhone
16
Plus)
are
far
bigger
upgrades
in
terms
of
features
set
and
overall
capability
this
year.

Starting
with
the
A18
chip
under
the
hood,
which
is
a
two-generation
jump
this
time
around.
And,
not
to
forget,
there
is
8GB
of
RAM,
the
same
as
the
Pro
models.
The
dual
cameras
have
also
been
realigned,
and
I
will
talk
in
detail
about
why
Apple
returned
to
the
iPhone
11
setup
in
a
bit.
Of
course,
there
are
some
misses,
too.

This
year,
Apple
sent
us
the
iPhone
16
Plus,
so
I
will
add
references
that
should
make
it
easier
for
you
to
understand
which
one
suits
you
better:
the
vanilla

iPhone
16

or
the

16
Plus
,
which
primarily
offers
a
bigger
display
and
battery.
Let’s
dive
into
the
review.

Oh,
my

iPhone
16
Pro
Max


review
is
already
live,
so
you
can
read
it
here

to
know
why
it
is
Apple’s
crown
jewel.

The
iPhone
16

while
the

I
got
the
512GB
model
for
this
review.
To
compare,
the
iPhone
16
starts
at
Rs.
79,900
for
the
128GB

The
256GB

The
iPhone
16
Plus
is
the
third-generation
Plus
device
from
Apple.
The

iPhone
14
Plus

was
launched
in
2022,
followed
by
the

iPhone
15
Plus

last
year
and
now
16
Plus.
The
smartphone
doesn’t
bring
a
ground-breaking
overhaul
to
design
except
for
one
important
aspect

camera
housing.
From
a
glass
back
(14
Plus)
to
a
matte
finish
rear,
the
16
Plus
gets
aluminium
frames
that
offer
a
solid
feel
and
a
ceramic
shield
front
for
protection.

with

Compared
to
the
Pro
models,
the
iPhone
16s
(16
+
16
Plus)
receives
two
new
physical
buttons
this
year

Action
and
Camera
Control.
As
I
mentioned
in
my
16
Pro
Max
review,
Apple
has
gone
the
opposite
route
by
offering
more
physical
buttons
when
some
companies
are
trying
to
push
for
gesture-based
interactions.
Action
button
debuted
last
year
on
the
15
Pro
models
and
is
finally
reaching
the
16
and
16
Plus.
The
Action
button
is
a
suitable
replacement
for
ring/
silent
switch,
and
it
can
be
customised
to
enable
any
other
function.
Camera
Control,
on
the
other
hand,
changes
how
you
use
the
cameras
on
the
latest
generation
iPhones.
It’s
always
better
to
have
a
dedicated
button
for
launching
something
than
unlocking
or
waking
the
screen
and
then
launching.
Apple
has
reduced
one
step
to
launch
the
camera
app,
and
the
button
is
the
way
to
launch
the
camera.
However,
one
thing
that
repeatedly
happened
to
me
while
reviewing
was
accidentally
launching
the
camera
app
with
a
single
click
on
the
Camera
Control.
I
had
to
set
it
then
as
a
double
click
to
stop
launching
the
camera
app.


iphone 16 plus camera control iPhone-16-Plus

The
iPhone
16
Plus
features
the
Camera
Control
on
the
right
side

The
iPhone
16
Plus
comes
in
amazing
colour
choices,
including
Ultramarine,
Teal,
Pink,
Black,
and
White,
compared
to
the
slightly
muted
colours
we
saw
on
the
15
and
15
Plus.
Interestingly,
the
16
Plus
(199
grams)
weighs
marginally
less,
with
the
same
dimensions
as
the
15
Plus
(201
grams).
The
difference
in
weight
might
not
be
too
huge,
but
16
Plus
is
a
better
device
for
one-hand
operations.
Of
course,
the
6.7-inch
screen
size
isn’t
for
everyone;
hence,
a
smaller
6.1-inch
model
is
also
available.

The
16s
get
an
IP68
rating
for
water
and
dust
resistance,
which
is
the
same
as
the
15
series,
so
there
is
no
change
in
water
ingress
protection.


iphone 16 plus buttons iPhone-16-Plus

The
phone
also
features
an
Action
button
that
was
introduced
on
the
Pro
models
last
year

The
camera
placement
is
vertical,
reminding
of
the

iPhone
11
,
and
it
is
much
more
subtle
than
the
housing
we
saw
on
the
15
and
14
series.
Apple
says
that
the
vertical
camera
housing
allows
the
phone
to
shoot
spatial
photos
and
videos,
offering
a
sense
of
depth
or,
in
layperson’s
terms,
multimedia
with
a
3D
effect.

The
front
panel
houses
the
6.7-inch
Super
Retina
XDR
display
with
bezels
that
are
not
as
thin
as
the

iPhone
16
Pro

models.
There’s
the
Dynamic
Island,
the
pill-shaped
notch
which
has
been
there
since
the
iPhone
14
Pro.

The
phone
also
features
Dynamic
Island,
the
pill-shaped
notch
that
was
first
introduced
on
the
14
Pro
models

Overall,
the
iPhone
16
has
a
vibrant
look,
and
aerospace-grade
aluminium
offers
a
premium
in-hand
feel.
The
colour-infused
back
glass
feels
rich
with
a
matte
finish
and
provides
an
unparalleled
smudge-free
experience
compared
to
the
Android
landscape.
Like
other
iPhones,
the
iPhone
16
Plus
is
built
to
last
and
offers
solid
durability.
The
addition
of
an
Action
button
allows
users
to
perform
various
functions
with
just
a
press

from
recording
a
voice
memo
to
identifying
a
song
or
translating
a
sentence.
There
are
enough
customisation
options.
The
much-talked-about
Camera
Control
is
covered
with
sapphire
crystal
and
has
a
smooth
texture.
A
colour-matched
stainless
steel
trim
surrounds
it.

iPhone
16
Plus
is
the
costliest
phone
with
a
60Hz
refresh
rate
in
2024,
and
I
hope
that
Apple
tries
to
change
this
next
year
with
its
next-generation
models.
The
16
Plus
offers
1290×2796
pixels
screen
resolution
with
460PPI
pixel
density.
The
peak
brightness
is
2000nits
while
the
minimum
brightness
can
drop
to
1nit,
which
wasn’t
the
case
with
the
15
series.
The
display
is
bright
and
offers
rich
colours.
The
text
appears
crisp,
and
16
Plus
offers
a
stunning
display
minus
a
higher
refresh
rate.

In
my
time
with
the
iPhone
16
Plus,
I
enjoyed
watching
multimedia
on
the
phone
alongside
gaming.
If
your
multimedia
consumption
is
going
to
be
high,
then
the
16
Plus
could
be
a
better
choice
than
the
16

basis
on
both
screen
real
estate
and
battery.

For
the
vanilla
iPhone
16s,
the
biggest
leap
is
under
the
hood.
The
iPhone
16
Plus
(and
16)
are
powered
by
Apple’s
latest
A18
chip,
jumping
two
generations
ahead
from
the
A16
Bionic
in
iPhone
15.
It
features
a
6-core
CPU,
5-core
GPU,
and
16-core
Neural
Engine,
which
Apple
says
is
optimised
for
running
large
generative
models.
During
the
launch
last
month,
the
company
claimed
that
the
A18
is
30
percent
faster
than
the
A16
Bionic
seen
on
the
15
series
in
CPU
performance.
It
is
built
on
second-generation
3-nanometer
tech.
Long
thing
short,
Apple
has
made
these
changes
to
ensure
that
Apple
Intelligence
runs
buttery
smooth
on
the
16s.

While
you
don’t
get
Apple
Intelligence
out-of-the-box,
I
tried
a
beta
update
that
gave
me
a
sneak
peek
into
these
features.
Starting
with
the
Writing
tools,
Apple
has
integrated
these
within
iOS,
making
them
accessible
wherever
you
type.
Be
it
for
rewriting
notes,
adjusting
tone
or
proofreading
written
mail.
Next
are
the
latest
emojis
you
can
create
by
simply
typing
a
description
or
creating
images
with
Image
Playground.
All
of
this
is
integrated
into
apps
like
Messages.
In
the
Photos
app,
you
can
now
find
whatever
image
you’re
looking
for
by
typing
keywords,
thus
making
it
easy
to
find
photos
from
your
entire
collection.
There
are
more
AI
features,
but
most
of
them
are
being
polished
for
the
final
rollout.
Most
importantly,
Apple
Intelligence
marks
the
start
of
a
new
era
for
Siri.
Apple
is
expected
to
release
the
latest
iOS
update
with
a
full
suite
of
Apple
Intelligence
features
by
the
end
of
October,
so
stay
tuned.

chip
powers
the
phone

The
iPhone
16
Plus
packs
more
RAM
than
the
15
series
and
offers
better
thermal
performance.
Apple
updated
the
main
logic
board
this
year,
keeping
the
chip
placement
at
the
centre
and
optimising
the
surrounding
architecture.
The
company
added
a
sub-structure
to
dissipate
heat
made
from
100
percent
recycled
aluminium
to
improve
thermal
performance.
I
experienced
this
while
trying
out
AAA
titles
like
Assassin’s
Creed:
Mirage,
Resident
Evil
4,
and
GTA:
San
Andreas
on
the
16
Plus.
Jumping
to
synthetic
benchmarks,
the
A18
chip
brings
a
leap
compared
to
the
15
series,
and
you
can
notice
that

The

a
fantastic

and

complement
it.
The
speakers
sound
well
and
offer

Next,
the

Connectivity-wise,
the

Of

time.
There
are
a

more
additions
in

The
upgrade
is
with

an

Before
diving
into
the
performance
of
the
16
Plus
cameras,
I
want
to
briefly
talk
about
the
Camera
Control.
It
has
been
an
excellent
addition
and
the
easiest
way
to
access
the
cameras
on
the
new
16
series.
Yes,
it
has
a
learning
curve
because
the
muscle
memory
will
keep
taking
you
to
the
home
screen
to
launch
the
camera
via
its
app.

the

is

handle
with

thanks
to
the
6.7-inch

size,
which
is
convenient

if
you
have
big
hands.
For
people
who
prefer
a
smaller

there’s
the
iPhone

with

Jumping
back
to
the
cameras,
the
iPhone
16
Plus
can
capture
some
fantastic
daylight
shots
with
fine
details
in
the
scene.
Images
are
sharp
and
offer
excellent
dynamic
range.
The
colours
are
pleasant
and
remain
as
natural
as
possible.
Portraits
come
out
well
with
accurate
depth
estimation.
Apple
has
also
introduced
new
Photographic
Styles,
which
offer
more
custom
options
to
let
you
personalise
how
you
or
your
subject
appears
in
photos.
The
new
control
pad
provides
more
flexibility
when
clicking
photos.
The
optical
zoom
also
works
flawlessly
and
offers
a
solid
option
for
shutterbugs.
The
zooming
capability
is
limited
because
of
the
lack
of
a
telephoto
camera.














Ultrawide
samples
from
the
iPhone
16
Plus

The
ultrawide
sensor
is
liked
because
of
its
versatility
in
capturing
more
of
the
scene,
and
this
time,
Apple
has
made
it
more
capable.
It
is
claimed
to
capture
up
to
2.6
times
more
light.
The
good
news
is
that
the
ultrawide
camera
allows
macro
photography
this
time
around.

Ultrawide
shots
come
out
really
well
with
more
details
and
solid
colours.
Autofocus
is
a
big
addition
that
makes
your
life
easier
by
automatically
autofocusing.
Macro
shots
made
possible
with
the
new
ultrawide
setup
also
come
out
well.




 



Low-light
samples
from
the
iPhone
16
Plus

Even
low-light
photos
come
out
well
with
the
iPhone
16
Plus.
The
primary
sensor
is
solid
for
night
shots,
and
the
details
are
intact.
Ultrawide
shots
at
night
are
decent,
though
not
as
great
as
daytime
shots.
Selfies
come
out
well,
and
there
is
no
complaint
in
this
regard,
including
the
skin
tones,
which
are
as
natural
as
they
can
be.

Video
upgrades
are
fantastic
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
makes
the
iPhones
the
go-to
devices
for
video
needs.
Overall,
the
iPhone
16
Plus
packs
capable
cameras
that
can
shoot
wonderful
shots
in
day
and
night.

In

beat
the

multiple
times
in
terms
of

time.


iphone 16 plus versus iPhone-16-Plus

iPhone
16
Plus
offers
better
battery
performance
compared
to
15
Plus
and
14
Plus

Compared
to
the
16
Pro
Max’s
best
battery
performance
(8
hours
and
30
minutes),
the
16
Plus
offered
me
9
hours
and
37
minutes
of
screen
time
with
heavy
usage
that
included
a
couple
of
hours
of
gaming
as
well
as
streaming
a
two-hour
movie
on
Netflix
apart
from
apps
like
Outlook,
Gmail,
WhatsApp,
Telegram,
Instagram,
clicking
photos
and
videos
using
the
Camera
app
and
also
including
regular
calls
of
about
50
minutes
in
a
full
day.
Technically,
the
iPhone
16
Plus
lasted
1.5
days
easily
with
heavy
usage
which
is
way
more
than
what
Android
flagships
guarantee.
In
our
HD
video
loop
test,
the
iPhone
16
Plus
managed
27
hours
and
20
minutes
of
playback
time.

Charging
remains
the
biggest
Achilles
heel
of
the
new
iPhone
16
Plus.
It
can
charge
up
to
50
percent
in
35
minutes,
but
a
full
charge
takes
around
120
minutes,
which
isn’t
ideal
compared
to
the
competition.
The
16
Plus
packs
USB
2,
which
is
slightly
disappointing.

iPhone
16

Verdict

The
iPhone
16
raises
the
bar
for
what
vanilla
iPhone
models
could
do.
The
iPhone
16
(and
16
Plus)
gets
an
A18
chip,
which
promises
superior
performance
compared
to
Android
flagships
in
the
market.
The
cameras
are
solid,
and
you
get
two
new
buttons

Action
and
Camera
Control.
The
battery
backup
is
impressive,
and
the
build
quality
is
top-notch.
It
also
gets
an
IP68
rating
for
peace
of
mind
and
is
a
fantastic
device
for
high-graphics
gaming
in
its
latest
avatar.
The
display
quality
is
superb.
Of
course,
a
few
things
could
be
improved,
like
slow
charging
and
60Hz
refresh
rate
at
this
price
point,
making
this
look
slightly
out
of
place
compared
to
Android
flagships.

So,
who
should
buy
it?
If
you
purchased
an
iPhone
15
(Review)
or
15
Plus
last
year,
you
can
give
this
a
miss.
However,
for
people
still
using
the
iPhone
14
or
older
models,
the
iPhone
16
promises
much
bigger
upgrades.
Thanks
to
festive
sales,
the
iPhone
15
is
selling
at
lower
price
points,
making
it
a
viable
competitor
to
the
iPhone
16.

If
you
want
the
absolute
best
performance
and
do
not
want
to
compromise
on
any
aspect,
then
the
iPhone

Pro
Max
sits
at
the
top,

iPhone
16
Pro
Max
next
to
the
Realme
GT
7
Pro,
with
a
much
lower
score

1,651,728.
Apple’s
flagship
handset
was
launched
last
month
with
the
six-core
A18
Pro,
its
most
powerful
smartphone
chip
to
date.
However,
it’s
worth
noting
the
benchmark
tool’s
use
of
the
Vulkan
and
Metal
APIs
on
Android
and
iOS,
respectively,
while
making
comparisons
across
platforms. 

Realme’s
upcoming
flagship
phone
isn’t
the
first
handset
to
cross
the
3
million
mark
on
AnTuTu.
Last
month,
the
Vivo
X200
with
MediaTek’s
3nm
Dimensity
9400
chipset

scored
 3,007,853
points
on
the
benchmarking
tool.
Qualcomm’s
chip
is
slightly
ahead
of
its
competitor,
according
to
these
tests.

The
recently
launched
Oppo
Find
X8
was
previously

benchmarked

on
AnTuTu
with
a
score
of
2,880,558
points,
which
was
the
highest
score
on
the
platform
at
the
time.
This
handset
is
also
powered
by
the
Dimensity
9400
chipset,
which
is
expected
to
power
other
flagship
smartphones
over
the
coming
year.

specifications
online.
A
tipster
has
now
leaked
purported
live
images
of
the
iQOO
13,
giving
us
an
idea
of
what
to
expect
from
the
phone.
The
iQOO
13
will
be
launched
in
China
at
the
end
of
October,
and
could
be
one
of
the
first
smartphones
to
debut
with
the
next-generation
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
(or
Snapdragon
8
Elite)
chipset
from
Qualcomm.

iQOO
13
Design
Revealed
in
Leaked
Images

Weibo
user
WHYLAB
has

posted

three
images
of
the
purported
iQOO
13
on
the
Chinese
microblogging
platform,
that
show
the
front
of
the
upcoming
smartphone.
The
live
images
of
the
handset
including
two
close
up
images
that
show
the
top
and
bottom
halves
of
the
screen,
which
appears
to
have
a
flat
design,
along
with
narrow
bezels
on
four
sides.

These
leaked
images
also
throw
some
light
on
the
button
arrangement
on
the
iQOO
13.
The
volume
rocker
and
the
power
button
located
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen,
while
the
metal
frame
is
shown
to
have
flat
edges.
These
images
appear
to
corroborate
the
design
of
the
smartphone
that
was
previously

teased

by
an
iQOO
executive. 

Last
week,
the
company

confirmed

that
the
iQOO
13
would
be
equipped
with
BOE’s
next-generation
Q10
display
with
a
2K
resolution.
Previous
leaks
had
also
suggested
that
the
next
flagship
phone
from
iQOO
would
sport
a
6.7-inch
2K
AMOLED
screen
with
a
144Hz
refresh
rate.

The
iQOO
13
is
also
tipped
to
arrive
with
Qualcomm’s
next-generation
smartphone
chipset
that
is
expected
to
be
unveiled
on
October
21
as
the
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
or
Snapdragon
8
Elite.
It
is
said
to
be
equipped
with
up
to
16GB
of
RAM
and
up
to
512GB
of
inbuilt
storage.

According
to
previous
reports,
the
iQOO
13
could
arrive
with
a
triple
50-megapixel
primary,
ultrawide,
and
2x
telephoto
cameras,
as
well
as
a
32-megapixel
selfie
camera.
It
is
said
to
pack
a
6,150mAh
battery
with
support
for
100W
fast
charging.

Vivo X Fold 4 Allegedly Spotted on TENAA, Tipped to Get 6,365mAh Battery

Vivo
X
Fold
4


Vivo’s

next
purported
foldable
is
not
expected
to
arrive
until
next
year,
but
it
has
reportedly
been
spotted
on
the
TENAA
website.
The
listing
suggests
the
model
number
and
a
few
specifications
of
the
upcoming
handset.
The
Vivo
X
Fold
4
appears
to
ship
with
a
larger
battery
than
the
Vivo
X
Fold
3.
The
Vivo
X
Fold
4
is
tipped
to
run
on
Android
15.
It
could
be
powered
by
a
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
chipset.

91Mobiles

spotted
 the
TENAA
listing
of
a
new
Vivo
phone
with
model
number
V2429.
The
report
claims
that
this
model
number
is
associated
with
the
unannounced
Vivo
X
Fold
4.
The
listing
suggests
a
6,365mAh
battery
capacity
on
the
device,
which
is
likely
to
be
marketed
as
a
6,500mAh
cell.
If
this
turns
out
to
be
true,
it
would
be
a
significant
upgrade
over

Vivo
X
Fold
3’s

5,500mAh
battery.

As
per
the
listing,
Vivo
X
Fold
4
will
have
dual
5G
SIM
and
satellite
Navigation
(GLONASS)
support.
It
is
reportedly
listed
to
run
on
Android
15.

Vivo
still
hasn’t
announced
any
details
about
the
Vivo
X
Fold
4.
The
Chinese
tech
brand
launched
the

Vivo
X
Fold
2

and
Vivo
X
Fold
3
in
its
home
country
in

April
first
week

and

March
last
week
,
respectively,
so
we
can
expect
the
new
model
to
arrive
around
the
same
time
in
2025.
It
is
likely
to
run
on
the
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
chipset.

Vivo
X
Fold
3
Price,
Specifications 

The
Vivo
X
Fold
3
arrived
with
a
starting
price
tag
of
CNY
6,999
(roughly
Rs.
80,000)
for
the
12GB
RAM
+
256GB
storage
version.
It
has
an
8.03-inch
primary
2K
AMOLED
display
and
a
6.53-inch
AMOLED
cover
screen.
It
boasts
a
triple
camera
unit
on
the
back
composing
a
50-megapixel
VCS
bionic
primary
camera.
It
carries
32-megapixel
selfie

on
both
inner

OnePlus 13 Leaked Render Suggests Similar Design to OnePlus 12 With Slight Tweaks


OnePlus
13

is
expected
to
launch
in
China
this
month
as
the
successor
to
2023’s

OnePlus
12
.
Ahead
of
its
debut,
leaks
about
the
purported
handset
have
begun
to
intensify
and
the
latest
revelation
is
a
big
one.
Official-looking
renders
of
the
OnePlus
13
have
surfaced
on
social
media,
hinting
at
its
design.
The
OnePlus
13
appears
similar
to
its
predecessor,
bar
a
few
design
tweaks
around
the
rear
camera
module.

In
subsequent posts on
the
Chinese
social
media
platform
Weibo,
tipster
Digital
Chat
Station
(translated
from
Chinese)
and
another
user shared official-looking
renders
of
the
OnePlus
13.
The
purported
smartphone
is
shown
in
a
black
colourway.
While
it
certainly
appears
to
borrow
major
design
elements
from
the
OnePlus
12,
the
camera
module
is
now
detached
from
the
rest
of
the
frame
and
sits
on
the
left
as
a
distinct
circle.

Furthermore,
the
Hasselblad
branding
has
been
moved
out
of
the
camera
island
and
now
appears
on
the
top
right
above
what
seems
like
an
ornamental
strip
of
metal.
The
placement
of
the
camera
housings
as
well
as
the

OnePlus

logo
remains
unchanged.
This
leak
also
suggests
that
the
purported
OnePlus
13
may
be
available
in
at
least
two
colourways:
black
and
white.

OnePlus
13
Specifications

The
OnePlus
13
is confirmed to
be
equipped
with
a
6.82-inch
2K
10-bit
LTPO
BOE
X2
micro
quad
curved
OLED
display
with
a
120Hz
refresh
rate
and
a
new
local
refresh
rate
feature.
Meanwhile,
it
is
tipped
to
be
powered
by
the
upcoming
Snapdragon
8
Elite
chipset
(ubiquitously
known
as
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4),
paired
with
up
to
24GB
of
RAM
and
up
to
1TB
of
onboard
storage.
For
optics,
it
is
speculated
to
sport
a
triple
rear
camera
setup
with
a
50-megapixel
Sony
LYT-808
primary
sensor,
a
50-megapixel
ultra-wide
angle
unit,
and
a
50-megapixel
periscope
telephoto
lens
with
3x
optical
zoom.

The
purported
handset
may
be
backed
by
a
6,000mAh
battery
with
support
for
100W
wired
fast
charging.
