According to experts, below are four advantages of the high-end iPhone 16 Pro pair when compared with the iPhone 16.
Apple will launch its new iPhone lineup next week, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you're thinking ahead about which one to buy, here are some of the differences between the iPhone 16 Pro duo and the standard iPhone 16 pair.
1. Bigger screen
One of the most notable changes to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be larger screens. The iPhone 16 Pro screen will increase in size from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase in size from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will retain the current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes. Of course, ProMotion with a 120Hz refresh rate will continue to be a feature exclusive to the iPhone Pro models.
So if you want the best and most ideal iPhone display, choose the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Notably, this will be the first time that the screen size between the iPhone Pro and standard iPhone models will be different since the iPhone 13 series.
2. Titanium design
Only the iPhone 16 Pro pair has a titanium frame.
With the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple has introduced a completely new design with titanium instead of stainless steel. While Apple usually brings design changes from the iPhone Pro down to the standard iPhone line, that won't be the case with the premium titanium material. Instead, the titanium design will remain exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
3. Camera upgrade
As usual, the iPhone 16 will have two cameras (main camera and ultra-wide camera) while the iPhone 16 Pro will have three lenses (main camera, ultra-wide camera and telephoto camera).
This year, however, the camera story gets more interesting as the telephoto camera with 5x zoom - which debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro Max - will be extended to the iPhone 16 Pro. This means users will no longer have to choose the largest iPhone to get the best camera system.
This year, the iPhone 16 Pro will also get an upgraded ultra-wide camera, increasing the resolution from 12MP to 48MP. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 16 will still have a 12MP ultra-wide camera.
4. Faster performance
This year, both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will have the A18 chip inside. However, the iPhone 16 Pro will have a more powerful version with the A18 Pro. The A18 Pro chip is expected to have a 6-core GPU while the A18 will have a 5-core GPU.
The A18 Pro chip will also reportedly feature a much more powerful Neural Engine, which bodes well for future Apple Intelligence features.
Conclusion
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will be more similar than ever. This is mainly due to the Shutter button and Action button that will be present on all four new iPhone models . However, the camera will be the factor that will differentiate the iPhone 16 Pro from the iPhone 16.
