iPhone 16 and 16 Plus features: everything you need to know about the new models

August 26, 2025

C&C news

Every year, the arrival of a new generation of iPhone brings a series of improvements, refinements, and new features that make it increasingly difficult to choose the right model. In this article, we'll explain the key features of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, providing a complete overview of both models, comparing their strengths, main differences, and the innovations introduced in this generation.

Both devices are available on our website and in our many C&C stores, where you can see them up close and purchase them with favorable sales conditions, whether you want to pay upfront or prefer installment options.

Refined design and Super Retina XDR display

Aesthetically, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus maintain the elegant, minimalist design that has characterized the Apple lineup for years, but with minor tweaks that improve their ergonomics and durability. The colored glass back offers a uniform, matte look, while the recycled aluminum edges provide both strength and lightness.

The display is one of the key differences between the two models: 6.1 inches for the iPhone 16 and 6.7 inches for the 16 Plus. In both cases, they feature Super Retina XDR OLED panels with high brightness, excellent contrast, and HDR support. Watching multimedia content, gaming, or simply browsing becomes an immersive and sharp experience, thanks to the Dynamic Island technology, which is now also on non-Pro models.

As always, the integration between hardware and software is one of the strongest points of the Apple experience. This translates into an even smoother operating system with optimized animations, always-on AI features, and apps that launch instantly.

Improved camera with computational intelligence

One of the most anticipated aspects each year is the camera, and the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus do not disappoint. Apple continues to invest in computational photography, and even the "base" models feature an updated dual-camera system on the back, capable of capturing detailed images even in difficult lighting conditions.

The Portrait mode has been further refined, as has HDR processing, which offers more natural colors and a better balance between light and shadow. The new "Tele Macro" mode allows you to focus on very close subjects with a level of precision never before seen on non-Pro models. Videos also benefit from these enhancements, with greater stability, true-to-life color reproduction, and high-quality audio.

Enhanced battery life and USB-C charging

One of the most significant differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is the battery life. Despite having very similar technical specifications, the Plus model guarantees a longer battery life due to its larger size, which accommodates a bigger battery. It's the ideal model for anyone who spends a lot of time away from an outlet or uses their device intensively throughout the day.

Available at special prices online and in C&C stores

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus can be purchased on cec.com and in all C&C stores.

At our retail locations, you can also explore personalized purchasing options, including interest-free installments, in addition to receiving support with the initial setup of your device.

Whether you're upgrading from an older model or entering the world of iPhone for the first time, you'll find the assistance and expertise you need to make the right choice.
