Pros and cons

According to our mobile phone expert

You can quickly control your iPhone with the new buttons and open your camera with 1 press, for example.
Take sharp photos and videos with the 48-megapixel camera.
With 256GB storage, you have enough space for your apps, photos, and videos.
Zoomed-in photos are less sharp than with the iPhone 16 Pro, because you don't have a telephoto lens.

Description

The Apple iPhone 16 256GB Blue is a fast, small smartphone with useful buttons. This 6.1-inch device fits in your pocket and you can easily control it with 1 hand. Lightly press the new Camera Control button to focus, or slide over it to zoom in. You don't have to tap the screen to do this, just hold your iPhone steady. As a result, your photos are less blurry. Your photo does quickly becomes less sharp when you zoom in since you don't have a telephoto lens, like on the iPhone 16 Pro. The Action button lets you quickly open your favorite app, for example. Even the most demanding apps and games open without slowing down. Are you always downloading movies, series, and podcasts? Choose 512GB storage.

iPhone 16 pro —> iPhone 16: wonderfully light device

Light weight
Handy in size
Renewed design
No nice colors in Apple cases

Switched from the 16 pro to the normal 16. I find the light weight compared to the pro a big advantage. Little difference in photo quality if you take standard photos without changing settings. I am not really impressed with the quality of the zoom lens of the pro. If you move a little, the photo is still grainy. I would rather buy a separate camera again that will soon be better than an iPhone camera. For normal daily photos, the 16 is very good. I rarely make videos. I do not find the switch back to 60hz annoying and I get used to it very quickly. The snow white looks very nice with a beige case. For me this is the perfect iPhone!
