iPhone 16 Series Breakdown: Exploring Every Model in Apple’s Latest Lineup
September is an exciting and eventful month for all iPhone users, as every iPhone since 2012 has been launched in this month. Following the tradition, Apple launched its latest iPhone 16 series containing the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Let’s break down the series and explore the specifications of every model.
Build & Design
After the curtain raiser, many people critiqued that the iPhone16 just looks like previous models, specifically the camera placement matches with iPhone 11. It’s a fact that Apple may not have any option to play with camera placements on new models. Well, the major iPhone 16 Design variation in all of its models is highly related to the materials and finishing.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come in an aluminum body coated in vivid and playful colors. However, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have a titanium body followed by a metallic finish.

Variant Screen Sizes
For the first time, all four models of the Apple iPhone series have different screen sizes. The Pro models of Apple iPhone 16 come with a little larger screen due to thinner Bezels. You will find a slight variation in the screen size that might justify the price difference of these models.

Other than the screen size, all the models feature OLED panels with a 460 ppi resolution.
Performance and Battery Life
Coming to the chipsets, Apple most of the times confuses the users, like iPhone 15 was featured with an A16 processor however A17 Pro chip was installed in the iPhone 15 Pro. In the recent series, thankfully there is no such confusion. You will have an A18 chip in the iPhone 16, and an A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro.
Both the chipsets are built on the second generation 3nm process. If you opt for the iPhone 16 Pro model then you will get an advanced GPU with 6 cores whereas A18 has 5 cores. So, this little upgrade automatically improves the video recording, and image processing in the Pro models.
Apple never numbered the mAh amount for its batteries but always claims an improved battery life in every model. To some extent, the recorded/provided battery timings for each model justify the claim.

Game Changer Camera
As a tradition, Apple always makes a difference in its Pro models with a larger screen, better processor, battery, and an extra camera. So, the same is the case here, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come with two eyes. However, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max come with a third eye which is a 5x telephoto lens.
Other than this additional camera, Pro models have a larger wide lens, and the rest of the camera settings are the same.

Experimenting with the convenience of camera usage, Apple added a Camera Control button in all four variants. The button provides you with one-touch access to camera tools and a smooth operation. You may have heard about the Camera Control button but not the four microphones featured in iPhone 16 models supporting improved audio recording.
iPhone 16 Price in Pakistan
Along with the features, the iPhone 16 Price in Pakistan is the talk of the town. Unfortunately, Apple did not launch the iPhone 16 officially in Pakistan, so there is no confirmed iPhone 16 Price range we have. But, thanks to the global rollout we can estimate the prices for now.
Internationally iPhone 16 is launched at a retail of $799. Converting it according to the average exchange rate it will be around 223,323 PKR. Further, by adding PTA taxes along with the retailer’s profit margin added to it the iPhone 16 Price in Pakistan will range between 300,000-350,000 PRK.
