1. A Glimpse into the iPhone 16 Pro
The star of the show was undoubtedly the iPhone 16 Pro and its larger counterpart, the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Both models boast Apple’s largest-ever displays, with sizes extending to 6.3 inches for the Pro and an impressive 6.9 inches for the Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 Pro comes in an array of striking colours, including Dark Black Titanium, Bright White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and the new Desert Titanium. Notably, it promises the best battery life ever seen in an iPhone, thanks to optimized power management and larger batteries.
2. Powerful New Chips and AI Features
Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Pro is powered by the cutting-edge A18 Pro chip. This new chip is even faster and more efficient than its predecessor, utilizing 2nd-generation 3nm transistors and featuring a 16-core neural engine capable of 35 trillion operations per second.
The new GPU is 20 per cent faster than the previous generation, and the device includes advanced media features and faster USB 3 speeds.
The camera system is equally impressive, with a 48MP fusion camera featuring a 2nd-generation quad-pixel sensor and zero shutter lag. The new 48MP ultra-wide camera and a 5x telephoto lens with a 120mm focal length enhance the photographic capabilities, while Camera Control offers versatile options for capturing the perfect shot. New photographic styles allow real-time adjustments to colours and shadows, making each photo unique.
