Apple Inc. AAPL is set to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 16 lineup on Sept. 9, Monday during its "Glowtime" event. For consumers weighing their options about which iPhone model they should go for, here's a quick list to make things easier.
What Happened: While these two varieties have more similarities than differences, the iPhone 16 Pro offers several compelling advantages over its more affordable counterpart.
Here are the key reasons to consider the iPhone 16 Pro:
Larger Display: The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to feature larger displays compared to the 6.1-inch screen on the iPhone 16.
According to several reports, iPhone Pro devices could have up to a 6.3-inch display and the Pro Max model display will increase from 6.7 inches to 6.9-inch.
This increase in size provides users with more screen real estate for browsing, gaming, and media consumption.
Improved Camera Capabilities: The iPhone 16 Pro will boast a triple-camera system, including a new 5x optical zoom telephoto lens and a 48MP ultra-wide camera, improving photography versatility.
On the other hand, the standard iPhone 16 will only feature a dual-camera setup, main and ultra-wide setup, limiting its photographic capabilities.
Premium Build Quality: Leveraging a titanium frame, the iPhone 16 Pro promises a more robust and lightweight design compared to the aluminum frame of the iPhone 16. This amplifies durability and gives the Pro model a more premium feel.
Superior Performance: Both models will be powered by Apple’s A18 chip, but the iPhone 16 Pro will feature a more powerful A18 Pro variant, expected to deliver improved graphics performance and efficiency, particularly beneficial for gaming and demanding applications.
The A18Pro is also expected to include a significantly more powerful Neural Engine, which could boost Apple’s Intelligence capabilities.

Exclusive Color Options: As is typical with Pro models, the iPhone 16 Pro will likely offer unique color options, allowing users to select a more distinctive look for their device compared to the standard iPhone 16.
According to leaker Majin Bu, the Phone 16 Pro lineup will come in four different colors: White, Black, Gold, and Gray.
Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are anticipated to come in brighter, more vibrant colors, such as Blue, Green, and Pink, along with Black, White, and Pink.
