Apple officially announces the iPhone 16 series with a dedicated camera button, an Action button, and the best battery.

Apple officially announced the iPhone 16 series today, after many leaks about them in the previous period.

The iPhone 16 series does not differ much in terms of design from the previous generation, with the iPhone 16 featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2556×1179, a refresh rate of 60Hz, and brightness up to 2000nits, dropping to 1nits in low light, with a stronger protection layer by 50% compared to the previous generation and twice as strong as other phones according to Apple.

The phone comes with an A18 processor manufactured at 3 nanometers, faster by 30% than the previous generation and 30% lower power consumption. Apple did not disclose the RAM size in the phone, but it is expected to be 8GB in order to be able to perform artificial intelligence tasks. The phone is available with internal storage space of 128, 256, or 512GB.

The iPhone 16 comes with two cameras in the main rear side, a 48-megapixel camera with an f/1.6 lens and OIS, and a 120-degree wide-angle camera with a 12-megapixel resolution and an f/2.2 lens. There is also a front camera with a 12-megapixel resolution and an f/1.9 aperture.

There is a new button in the iPhone 16 called Camera Control, through which you can open the camera app with one click, take a photo with another click, or a long press to record a video. You can also navigate between different modes in the camera app by dragging on the button.

Additionally, through this button, there is a new feature introduced by Apple called Visual Intelligence, similar to Google Lens, where long-pressing the phone will open the camera app and allow you to take a picture of any object in front of you to get information about it. There is also an Action button through which you can perform tasks such as activating the flash or opening a specific app and customize it.

The iPhone 16 comes with a battery that Apple claims is much better than the previous generation, but did not provide specific numbers regarding the battery size or how much better it is.
