Apple is gearing up to release the iPhone 16, boasting upgrades to processing power, camera technology, and build quality. The new device, powered by the A18 chip, aims to enhance on-device AI capabilities and extend battery life, signaling a continued push toward premium mobile experiences. Currently available at a discounted price through Rakuten, the iPhone 16 is generating early buzz for its enhanced features and extended software support.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 will be powered by the new A18 chip, built on a 3-nanometer process, promising a significant leap in performance and efficiency. The new chipset is expected to deliver a 30% performance boost compared to its predecessor while consuming less power – a crucial upgrade as Apple increasingly focuses on on-device artificial intelligence processing.
The iPhone 16 retains the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, now protected by a next-generation Ceramic Shield glass that Apple claims is 50% more durable. A new Action button will allow users to customize shortcuts for features like the flashlight and voice recorder. However, the most notable addition is the Capture Button, a pressure- and swipe-sensitive button on the side of the device designed to launch the camera, take photos, and control zoom and exposure.

Apple is also refining the iPhone 16’s camera system with a vertical arrangement of the two rear lenses, optimized for capturing spatial videos and photos. The 48-megapixel main sensor offers a high-quality 2x optical zoom, while the 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera now supports macro photography for detailed close-up shots. The device’s battery life has also been extended, now offering up to 22 hours of video playback.
Connectivity is upgraded with WiFi 7 support, ensuring stable and fast connection speeds. The iPhone 16 maintains its robust design with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. This focus on durability and performance underscores Apple’s commitment to providing a premium mobile experience.

Currently, the iPhone 16 is available at a reduced price of €679.99 instead of €873 on Rakuten. Club R members also receive an additional €6.70 off (membership is free and non-binding).
