Many months have passed where many leaks have occurred, but the new iPhone 16th is finally official. This new device has become A cheaper alternative to the iPhone 16 They have already been available for several weeks. To do this, the device makes some concessions with regard to its older brothers, but not all that one could imagine.
This new iteration will give a lot to speak in the coming days, although we must now review its most important characteristics And how they leave them to the device in front of their most direct Android rivals. If we take into account size and price, these are its main rivals already available in stores:
A renewed design and screen to compete with their rivals

Apple's new phone is delivered with a large overhaul where its 6.1 inch screen stands out, very similar to the one we could see on the iPhone 14. This, this, this, With OLED technology and 60 HzIt is a bit far from the rest of its competitors in terms of services. The most that looks like Google's Pixel 8A, with an identical diagonal (although this case has a 120 Hz soda flow).
The distance is higher if we put it in context with other direct competitors in terms of price. All arrive (or touch) 6.7 -inch screens, Although more differences occur if we start to see the advantages. Realme GT6 offers a shine of 6,000 Peak Nits for the 2,000 of the iPhone. In addition, everyone has a higher cooling rate and there are even with higher screen resolution.
Now, if we leave the screen aside and we go to the design, it is true that Apple increases the level (and enough) with the new iPhone 16th. The overhaul of it brings us a device with straight and plans edges, an aluminum and glass frame at the rear. All this gives us Premium UN aspecto which does not arrive all its rivals, except the Galaxy S24 FE.
Finally, it should be noted that this new device It does not come with the camera button which is present in the iPhone 16 (Although with the action button), not differentiating in this regard with its competitors. In addition, this device will be updated with European regulations, it will therefore have a USB-C port.
Processor: power supply with Apple A18
When a company chooses to launch a “cut” version of one of its devices, it generally makes concessions to certain key points. On the iPhone 16th, but not with regard to power. The Californian company has chosen to set up its apple A18, The same processor used by iPhone 16.
This also implies that the new device will be compatible with Apple Intelligence and will be a long -term processor in terms of performance. We will always have to test it, but it is clear that we can see here how the balance opts for the Apple device.
With the exception of the Pixel A8 (which sets up a G3 tensioner), the S24 Fe (with an exyn 2400th) and the Xioami 14T (with the Dimensity 8300 Ultra of Mediatek), the rest of the Android Rivaux of the Apple phone uses Qualcomm processors . None of these processors give the wrong level, but No reaching Apple A18 level on paper.
Apple Intelligence is a key point of the iPhone 16th

This comes with the same iPhone 16 chip also implies that the device will be entirely compatible with the company's AI, Apple Intelligence. The arrival of this tool on Apple phone gives access to very interesting functions, such as the possibility of eliminating image elements or Find images on the photos of the device using natural language.
This asset wins the terminal in front of almost all the Android devices with which it is in competition. In this sense, The closest is the Galaxy S24 FEArmed with Galaxy AI. Samsung's artificial intelligence has been available for longer in Europe, so we have seen that it is capable, although it will add more functions with the arrival of an IU 7.
The room is a point (almost) assured for its competitors
Although we said that Apple had not reduced the costs when choosing the processor, if you did it with the rear cameras. The iPhone 16th has only one module at the backA 48 megapixel sensor. Obviously, we will have to wait to see how he behaves, but the simple fact of not having an ultra-angular sensor and a telephoto lens it offered much less options to photography enthusiasts.
Again, the device that approaches the most is the Pixel 8A, which has a double sensor at the rear (64 megapixels for the main and 13 for the ultra wide angle). The rest of the rivals is a step aboveSince everyone has a configuration to triple camera.
The thing corresponds more if we look at the front cameraA very important camera if we want to make selfies or if we want to create content for Tiktok or similar. In this case, the camera is 12 megapixels, very in accordance with the majority of rivals, with the exception of the honor of 200 pro and the GT6 kingdom.
