Frequently Asked Questions
iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro?
The Pro adds a telephoto lens, ProMotion 120Hz display, titanium build, and Action button. If photography and display smoothness matter, go Pro. Otherwise, the base iPhone 16 is excellent.
What is Apple Intelligence?
Apple's on-device AI suite: text rewriting, image generation, smart notifications, Siri with GPT integration, and automatic transcription. Available on all iPhone 16 models.
Is 128GB enough storage?
For most users who stream music and use cloud storage, yes. If you shoot lots of 4K video or keep a large photo library locally, upgrade to 256GB.
