Apple has officially lifted the lid on the iPhone 16, the cheapest of what the company is calling the “first iPhones designed from the ground up for Apple Intelligence.”
The key upgrades for the new phone – which starts at the same price as the iPhone 15 (in the US, at least) – include the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button, an all-new Capture Control button, a new A18 chipset, and Apple Intelligence features.
The latter debuted at WWDC 2024 in June, but Apple has confirmed that they won’t actually become available on the iPhone 16 until December (a beta will roll out in October). Confirmed Apple Intelligence features include a smarter Siri, text summarization, writing assistance, and generative image creation.
The iPhone 16 will be available for pre-order from Friday, September 9, and the device will hit store shelves on Friday, September 20.
This is a developing story. We’ll update this page with new information as it’s confirmed by Apple…
