To be honest, little expected that the iPhone 16th, rumor as an IPhone is 4 for technically an iPhone 2022 successor, would start from 709 dollars in its basic configuration. He ended up being like that and precisely the name change indicates that we are faced with a new range and that we can therefore forget the “cheap” iPhone, although It is always the most economical of Apple150 dollars of the iPhone 15.
And the truth is that, thanks to this price that you more or less like is lower than others, the iPhone 16th aims to be a mass device. If you will be the largest sale of Apple or is not something that we can no longer plan. However, and despite its specifications below terminals such as the iPhone 16, has many ingredients to succeed.
A sufficient design without having to carry the last
Those of us who define us as technology enthusiasts and who also dedicate us to analyze it, we cannot ignore that there are certain elements of the iPhone 16th which distance it from an updated design. Beyond its notch, it has a 60 Hz panel, it does not bring the material most resistant to its rear and has no Magsafe and, therefore, no compatibility with a magnetized load which brings the standard Qi2.
However, You don't see much less like an “old” phoneSomething that if it happened when they saw the last “are” with its pronounced frames and its face -the button already turned off at home. Although with more bevel than an iPhone 16 pro, the iPhone 16th presumes a “each screen” design interrupted only by a notch which, yes, is reduced (we remember only the iPhone X to the iPhone 12, it was more elongated).
Regarding size, it is true that it is not a “mini”, but its 6.1 inch always make a phone Very manageable And above all thought of for those who move away from “plus” and “max” sizes, with a more compact design, but adapted to uses such as multimedia consumption in certain situations.
The screen itself, deleting the 60 Hz, is not bad. In fact, even if it is that of the iPhone 14, it does not go too far from what we get on an iPhone 16. It lacks a certain light, but it is also calibrated in terms of colors and with good Vision angles.
A brain at the height of requests
Filtered benchmark from the iPhone 16th in Geekbench
He was theorized with the idea that it was an A17 Pro The Soc which set up the iPhone 16th and finally ended up being an A18 chip. It is not an A18 pro, but it is always at the forefront because it is the Last processor published by Apple. And that, incidentally, does not differ so much from the “pro” version.
The A18 is a quick chip on CPU that the A15 Bionic which set up the iPhone SE 2022 and the iPhone 13 and up to 70% faster in graphics treatment. This translates into up -to -date day He will remain on executing practically any application. Even in these most demanding.
Although there is something in which this chip stands out is that, with its 8 GB of integrated memory, it is prepared for Apple Intelligence, something to take into account now that Apple AI is already in Spanish of the beta version of iOS 18.4. Beyond the available functions, Apple Lance should more Apple Intelligence with iOS 19, so having an iPhone like this, compatible, is a guarantee.
Sobrado in autonomy (more than with an iPhone 16)
The C1 chip is the first Apple modem that fits into the iPhone after years using Qualcomm. Despite the latter's good job, Apple has realized that thanks to him, you have greater energy efficiency and therefore we will meet 15% more autonomy than on iPhone 16. At least according to the data provided by the company.
In the absence of trying it carefully, on paper, you can see how the iPhone 16th, although it has an almost identical size to 16 increases its maximum autonomy five hours above. To get an idea, this is how the apple family is according to the studies carried out by the Californian company:

The entry iPhone of a lot. Companies included
As happened with the “SE”, the iPhone 16th will become the New first iPhone of many. There are those who want to enter the Apple ecosystem and their first step is the iPhone. Those who are not yet safe or simply have no high budget, reaching 959 dollars that the costs of the iPhone 16 can be more risky.
The 709 dollars of the iPhone 16th are not as extremely tempting as the 529 dollars that the iPhone cost, but continues to offer a more practical price than the rest. And that, in the business field, is the key. There are many companies that grant the iPhone as business phones and for prices and benefits, and also as was the case with the “SE”, the new iPhone 16th clearly points to this range.
Of course, the iPhone 16th loses certain characteristics against its main competitors, which are themselves the iPhone. Staying the rest of the catalog can be essential if we are looking for greater versatility of cameras or if we have functions such as those provided by Magsafe. Therefore, the idea, in order to save money, the purchase of an iPhone 15 pro or the reconditioned iPhone 16 can be a better idea.
In any case, it is clear that, we love it more or less, the iPhone 16th points to the ways of being one of the best sales of the year. This is the change from which the iPhone is already officially extinguished had already disappeared.
