Without doubt, the biggest new feature of the iPhone 16 is its ability to run Apple Intelligence. This is thanks to the new A18 chip inside. The AI features however, are software based and are due to come with updates to iOS 18 in late October (for the US) and in December for the UK.

The iPhone 16 starts at $799 and comes with 128GB of storage. If you need more storage, the 256GB model is $899, while the maximum storage capacity of 512GB will cost you $1,099. These prices include a $30 instant rebate if you activate it on a carrier at point of sale. If you want the bigger iPhone 16 Plus, it’ll cost you $100 more.

I’ve been an iPhone user since the original iPhone. Heck, I was in the audience when Steve Jobs introduced the world to the iPhone. After the unforgettable introduction, all of us who attended Macworld in 2007 marched over to the Apple booth on the floor of the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
