Our Take And Changes Compare To iPhone 15
Although there are some notable design changes, the iPhone 16 doesn’t significantly alter the iPhone design from its predecessor. First off, Apple has returned to the vertical stacking of the back cameras, which was last seen on the iPhone 12. A more significant change pertains to the phone’s left-side mute switch. Similar to the iPhone 15 from the previous year, the Action button now serves as a shortcut for a variety of functions.
Apple iPhone 16 Plus
Along with having even more customizable controls than the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 Plus will be the only iPhone models to support Apple Intelligence. The arrangement of the buttons is the subject of another design modification in the more recent model. The Action Button and the capacitive Camera Control button are new additions to the iPhone 16 Plus button lineup.

Our Take And Changes Compare To iPhone 15 Plus
The 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 15 Plus is identical, featuring a pill-shaped camera cutout and Dynamic Island functionality. The new model’s camera bump is different; it has a vertical form and resembles the iPhone X camera in several ways, but the vertical pill-shaped housing houses beefier, more robust cameras.

Our Take And Changes Compare To iPhone 15 Pro
With many hardware improvements, the iPhone 16 Pro is more powerful than the iPhone 15 Pro. But the base Pro becomes larger and heavier as a result of these extra additions. Even if the new model will be available shortly, purchasing a refurbished or used iPhone 15 Pro will still get you a better deal.

Our Take And Changes Compare To iPhone 15 Pro Max
This is the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Aside from the size increase from 6.7 to 6.9 inches, not much appears to be different when compared to the rest of the iPhone 16 series and Apple’s previous flagship, the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However Apple has made several internal improvements that make the iPhone 16 Pro Max a more feature-rich handset for customers.
