iPhone 16 256GB Black

Design & Screen

The iPhone 16 introduces a striking new design, crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium and featuring a colour-infused back glass that delivers vibrant, eye-catching hues. It’s not just visually appealing—it’s built to last, with leading water and dust resistance and an advanced ceramic shield that’s 50% tougher than previous models.


The display offers an incredible 2000 nits of peak brightness, ensuring perfect visibility even under bright sunlight. Its 6.1" Super Retina XDR display brings content to life with stunning clarity and depth. Whether you're scrolling through social media, watching movies, or playing graphically intense games, the screen remains smooth and responsive. Plus, the new customisable Action Button allows quick access to key functions, like voice memos or flashlight activation.

Features & Performance

Powered by the ground-breaking A18 Bionic chip, the iPhone 16 delivers a significant boost in performance. Built on 3nm second-generation technology, it features a 6-core CPU that's 30% faster than the iPhone 15, ensuring seamless handling of even the most demanding tasks. The 16-core Neural Engine is twice as fast, enabling faster photo editing, gaming, and augmented reality experiences. With a 17% increase in system memory bandwidth, apps and files load more quickly than ever.


The A18 chip also introduces enhanced capabilities through Apple Intelligence, such as advanced cloud computing for private yet powerful features. This includes innovative writing tools that can rewrite notes, adjust text tones, and proofread documents on the go. Siri has been upgraded with richer language understanding and more personal interactions, while new features let you create custom emojis and search for specific photos and videos. For safety, the iPhone 16 offers enhanced emergency SOS features, including live video sharing with health services and satellite communication for messaging in remote areas.

Camera

The iPhone 16 sets a new benchmark for mobile photography with its 48MP Fusion Camera, capturing 1.6% more light for brighter, sharper images, even in low light. Deep Fusion technology and zero shutter lag ensure you’ll never miss a moment. The 12MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus enables incredible macro photography, capturing intricate details with ease.


Accessing camera features is faster and more intuitive, thanks to new controls that make advanced capabilities like visual intelligence just a click away. This technology provides additional insights about objects in your frame. With four lenses in your pocket, the iPhone 16 adapts to any situation, offering unparalleled versatility. For the first time, it also introduces spatial photo capture, perfect for preserving life’s most memorable moments.


Enhanced audio quality elevates the video experience, with improved wind noise reduction for clearer sound. Combined with iOS 18’s revamped Photos app, which organizes memories by trips, seasons, and events, reliving and sharing moments has never been easier.
