New camera system.

Go to great lengths to get the perfect shot.

The versatile new iPhone 16 camera system captures beautiful photos — from up close or far away. The two-in-one 48MP Fusion camera lets you take stunning super-high-resolution images, or zoom in with the 2x optical-quality Telephoto. The Ultra Wide camera shoots extreme close-up macro photos or wider, more expansive pictures. Altogether, it’s like having four lenses in your pocket. And with spatial capture, you can even take photos and videos in 3D.

Ultra Wide camera.

Focus on the little things.
And the bigger picture.

The new Ultra Wide camera with autofocus takes incredibly sharp, detailed macro photos and videos. You can also frame more expansive scenes without taking a step back. And because it has a larger aperture and bigger pixels, it can capture up to 2.6x more light for higher image quality — even in low light.

For compelling close-ups with exceptional detail.

Spatial Capture.

Bring a whole new dimension to your photos and videos.

With its realigned cameras, iPhone 16 lets you take magical photos and videos in a whole new way using spatial capture.

How to take spatial photos and videos

Audio Mix.

Make your voice heard.

Powered by advanced intelligence and Spatial Audio capture, Audio Mix lets you adjust the way voices sound in your videos using three different voice options. Want to decrease background sound? Or just focus on the voices that are in frame? Simply select the mix and adjust intensity to get the sound you want after video capture.

In-frame

Only captures the voices of the people on camera, even if people off-camera are talking during the recording.

Studio

Makes voices sound like you’re recording in a professional studio equipped with sound-dampening walls. Great for vloggers or podcasters because the recording will sound like the mic is close to the subject’s mouth, even if it’s a few feet away.

Cinematic

Captures all of the voices around you and consolidates them toward the front of the screen — just like sound is formatted for the movies.

Photographic Style.

Lock in your look.

We’ve created new styles that let you dial in your exact desired look with more advanced skin-tone rendering and set it across your photos. And thanks to the powerful A18 chip, you can see the change in a live preview before you apply it.

Our improved image pipeline also enables more creative styles, which allow you to customize the different moods of a photo through color.

Personalize every style even more with the new control pad, which makes it easy to adjust tone and color simultaneously. You can also use the slider to adjust the intensity of the specific colors, instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Durable design.

Who says beauty
isn’t meant to last.

iPhone 16 has a sturdy, aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure and strong — and beautiful — color-infused glass on the back. The latest-generation Ceramic Shield material is two times tougher than any smartphone glass. And a new internal design dissipates heat more effectively, so you’ll get better performance overall, especially when it comes to gaming.

Writing Tools can proofread your text and rewrite different versions until the tone and wording are just right, and summarize selected text with a tap. They’re available nearly everywhere you write, including third-party apps.

Just hit record in the Notes or Phone app to capture audio recordings and transcripts. Apple Intelligence generates summaries of your transcripts, so you can get the most important info at a glance.

Priority messages in Mail elevate time-sensitive messages to the top of your inbox — like an invitation that has a deadline today or a check-in reminder for your flight this afternoon.

Express yourself visually

Create fun, original images that are truly personal to you.

Make a Genmoji right in the keyboard to match any conversation. Want to create a rainbow cactus? You got it. Just provide a description.

The Image Playground app lets you create unique images in seconds based on a description, a concept, or even a person from your Photos library. Experiment with image styles like animation, illustration, and sketch.

A new era for Siri

With all-new superpowers, Siri will be able to assist you like never before.

Awareness of your personal context enables Siri to help you in ways that are unique to you. Need your passport number while booking a flight? Siri can help find what you’re looking for, without compromising your privacy.

Richer language understanding and an enhanced voice make communicating with Siri even more natural. For example, if you stumble over your words, Siri still knows what you’re getting at.

Not sure how to do something on iPhone, like schedule a text message to send later? With expansive product knowledge, Siri can give you step-by-step instructions in a snap.

Great powers come with great privacy.

Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of iPhone through on-device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information.

And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger Apple-designed server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.

Safety.

In an emergency,
iPhone has your back.

Crash Detection uses hardware sensors and advanced motion algorithms to detect a severe car crash, then call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts when you can’t.⁷

Environment

All Apple data centers run on 100% renewable electricity.

iPhone 16 uses more recycled metals than ever:
over 95% recycled lithium in the battery.⁸ 100% recycled gold in the plating of the USB-C connector and camera wires. 100% recycled copper foil in the MagSafe inductive charger.

The packaging for iPhone 16 is 100% fiber based for the first time.⁹ And it’s thinner, which reduces the carbon impact for shipping.¹⁰

Privacy

The new Passwords app makes it even easier to access account passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, two-factor authentication codes, and more. It stores them securely and syncs across your devices with end-to-end encryption.

You can also control which contacts to share with an app, rather than giving it access to all your contacts. And you can choose to share more contacts over time.

Apple Intelligence protects your privacy at every step. With on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, no one but you can access your data — not even Apple.

Accessibility

Eye Tracking makes it possible to navigate your iPhone and use your favorite apps just by moving your eyes, thanks to the power of machine learning and the front-facing camera.

Music Haptics matches the iPhone Taptic Engine with the rhythm of songs. So people who are deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the Apple Music catalog in a whole new way.

Vocal Shortcuts helps people with severe atypical speech record sounds that trigger specific actions on iPhone — set a timer, take a screenshot, scroll up and down, and more.
