The excitement is palpable as the Apple Store temporarily shuts its virtual doors, signaling the imminent arrival of the iPhone 16 lineup pre-orders. Continuing the tradition from previous years, this year’s launch features not just one, but four models: the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. While the base models retain their familiar 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, the premium Pro range now sports larger screens sized at 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, offering even more space for your digital life.
Intriguingly, Apple has introduced a significant technological leap by incorporating two cutting-edge chipsets produced using TSMC’s advanced 3nm process: the A18 and A18 Pro. The primary distinction between these two SoCs lies in the graphics muscle— the A18 Pro boasts an extra GPU core, bringing the total to six. However, if you are upgrading solely for a more powerful chipset, you might want to rethink your decision; until we’ve fully tested the performance, it’s a subtle difference that may not be worth the investment for everyone.
Each member of the iPhone 16 family is designed to run Apple Intelligence flawlessly, thanks to a standard 8GB RAM across all models. Though if you were holding out for even more memory, you might have to wait another year. Rumor has it the next iteration of the Pro models will come packed with a beefier 12GB RAM, which could be worth the wait for those seeking ultimate performance.
Pre-orders are set to commence across multiple regions, including the U.S., making it crucial to stay in the loop about the specific times in your locale. As the anticipation builds, don’t forget to check the local start times for pre-orders in your area. Let us know in the comments which iPhone 16 model you plan to make your daily companion, and share the excitement with fellow Apple enthusiasts!
