Design and Build
The iPhone 16 Pro is available in three colors: Natural Titanium, Desert Titanium, Black Titanium, and White Titanium. The first noticeable change is in the box design. Apple has slightly reduced the size of the packaging. While it may seem minor. In this change hints at Apple focus on minimalism and efficiency in design.
Upon unboxing, the most immediate observation is the phone size. Last year iPhone had a 6.7-inch display, but this time, Apple has increased it to 6.9 inches. This size is noticeably large even for users with bigger hands. Yet, the slim bezels around the display help maintain a sleek and modern aesthetic.
Display and User Interface
The 6.9-inch display is stunning and offering vibrant colors and sharp details. Thats complemented by thinner bezels. One of the highlights of this display is the selection of wallpapers. which range from trendy options to various categories and providing users with endless customization.
Action Button: A Mixed Experience
One of the biggest changes in this model is the addition of the "Action Button," replacing the traditional mute switch. This button while innovative has its quirks. It is a mixed button that provides haptic feedback when pressed lightly but does not actually press down. The button remains flat against the phone surface. its making it less noticeable and harder to use instinctively.
For users holding the phone in portrait mode and accessing this button feels awkward, requiring an unnatural grip that increases the risk of dropping the device. However, the Action Button can be programmed to perform several functions. such as opening the camera, switching between modes and controlling zoom.
Camera Upgrades
Apple camera system on the iPhone 16 Pro offers both subtle and significant improvements. One of the most useful features is the ability to zoom in more precisely and depending on how fast you swipe. A fast swipe zooms in quickly, while a slower movement allows for more incremental zoom adjustments.
The primary 48MP camera takes excellent photos. although there are not drastic changes from the previous model. Dynamic range has improved slightly and photos taken in wide mode show better detail. Night mode remains largely the same. but overall photo-taking feels quicker, especially when capturing moving subjects.
For video enthusiasts, Apple has added 4K 120 FPS recording. thats allowing for smooth slow-motion footage. You can also pause video recording without stopping entirely. which is a convenient feature for content creators. Apple’s Vision Pro headset can take full advantage of these video capabilities. but other VR headsets will not support these features.
Charging and Battery Life
The iPhone 16 Pro includes a USB 3 port. Its enabling medium-fast charging. which will be a noticeable improvement for users accustomed to slower charging speeds. Wireless charging has also seen an upgrade and making this device more versatile for those who prefer a cable-free experience. Battery life has increased though not significantly. offering users a bit more usage time between charges.
Final Thoughts on Pricing and Value
One of the most surprising aspects of the iPhone 16 Pro is the slight reduction in price. Starting at ₹1,44,900, it is ₹15,100 less than last year model making it a competitive choice in the premium smartphone market.
For those looking for incremental upgrades in display, performance and camera features, the iPhone 16 Pro delivers. However, the new Action Button may take some time to get used to and the overall improvements feel more evolutionary than revolutionary. Nonetheless, Apple continues to set the bar high for flagship smartphones with its refined design, powerful features and a slightly more accessible price point.
Conclusion
While the iPhone 16 Pro does not introduce groundbreaking changes. it offers a well-rounded package for anyone seeking a top-of-the-line smartphone. The minor improvements
