iPhone 16
Hello Apple Intelligence
Take a closer look.
Apple Intelligence
iPhone 16 is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.
Writing Tools can summarise a portion of your content with a tap and edit and rewrite portions until the tone and words are appropriate. Almost anywhere you write, even third-party programs, you can find them.
To collect audio recordings and transcripts, simply press the record button in the Notes or Phone app. Apple Intelligence summarises your transcripts so you can quickly review the most crucial information.
Time-sensitive communications, such as an invitation with a deadline today or a check-in reminder for your travel this afternoon, are elevated to the top of your inbox by Mail's priority messages.

New camera system.
Go to great lengths to get the perfect shot.
The versatile new iPhone 16 camera system captures beautiful photos from up close or far away. The two-in-one 48MP Fusion camera lets you take stunning super-high-resolution images, or zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto. The Ultra Wide camera shoots extreme close-up macro photos or wider, more expansive pictures. Altogether, it’s like having four lenses in your pocket. And with spatial capture, you can even take photos and videos in 3D, which you can watch with Apple Vision Pro.
Ultra Wide camera.
Focus on the little things.
And the bigger picture.
The new Ultra-Wide camera with autofocus takes incredibly sharp, detailed macro photos and videos. You can also frame more expansive scenes without taking a step back. And because it has a larger aperture and bigger pixels, it can capture up to 2.6x more light for higher image quality even in low light.
Spatial Capture.
Bring a whole new dimension to your photos and videos.
With its realigned cameras, iPhone 16 lets you take magical photos and videos in a whole new way using spatial capture. So you can relive those moments in immersive 3D with Apple Vision Pro.

No signal?
There’s a satellite for that.
The iPhone 16 Pro can link you to a satellite so you can stay in touch or get the help you need even if you don't have cell service or Wi-Fi.
When you're offline, you can use the Messages app to send and receive messages and Tapbacks using the satellite messaging feature. To send texts via SMS or iMessage, your iPhone will assist you in setting up a satellite connection.
You can get assistance for issues like a flat tyre or a dead car battery by using Roadside Assistance via satellite. Even if you're off the grid, your iPhone can enable you to get in touch with a roadside assistance provider who can send help to your specific position.
For two years, free satellite roadside assistance is offered with the iPhone 16 Pro.
