The company’s new flagship smartphones have slightly larger screens on both models: 6.3 inches on the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches on the iPhone 16 Pro Max (compared to 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max respectively). The phone cases are again made of titanium. It comes in four colors: black, white, natural and the new “desert titanium”. Also in the iPhone 16 line there is a new camera control button. Apple also claims that the iPhone 16 Pro Max has the “best iPhone battery life ever.”

The iPhone 16 Pro lineup features the A18 Pro chip with a 16-core neural engine, which the company says delivers “amazing performance” for Apple Intelligence features, including 15 percent faster than the iPhone 15 Pro. Graphics performance has also been improved.

Apple is releasing these new phones as it makes a push for artificial intelligence with its Apple Intelligence features, some of which will be available in beta in October. (The company says all of its new iPhones this year were designed from the ground up for Apple Intelligence.) Like other tech companies, Apple is putting a big focus on artificial intelligence this year, and the company has already showcased several AI-powered tools at its latest Worldwide Developers Conference, including an updated Siri and integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

The main features of the iPhone 15 Pro line are titanium cases and the Action Button. Apple also switched from Lightning to USB-C in the iPhone 15 Pro, but USB-C is also coming to the standard iPhone 15 models. Apple announced the iPhone 16 Pro lineup at an event on Monday.
