The iPhone 16 Plus offers a premium flagship experience in a spacious 6.7‑inch Super Retina XDR OLED chassis with Dynamic Island, zero lag, and peak brightness matching its compact sibling. It is powered by Apple’s next-gen A18 chip (3 nm) paired with 8 GB of RAM, delivering up to 60% faster CPU performance.

The dual-camera system includes a 48 MP Fusion wide sensor with sensor‑shift OIS and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. Unique to this model is the addition of a dedicated Camera Control physical button along the side—allowing one-handed adjustments of exposure, zoom, focus, or white balance.

Battery endurance is greatly improved: up to 27 hours of video playback, enabled by design changes housing a larger battery. Fast charging and MagSafe/Qi2 wireless charging with USB‑C support complete the package.

The iPhone 16 Plus runs iOS 18 and includes features like Action Button, Apple Intelligence tools, Wi‑Fi 7, IP68 water/dust resistance, and dual eSIM support. With six years of software updates promised, this model strikes a fine balance between size, performance, camera versatility, and longevity—earning praise as the ideal “Goldilocks” iPhone for those desiring a big screen without the bulk.
