Is it time for a new iPhone, but you’re not sure whether to go for the iPhone 16 Pro or last year’s iPhone 15 Pro? We give you five reasons why the latest iPhone is the best choice.
5 reasons to choose the iPhone 16 Pro
On September 9, Apple presented brand new iPhones. These are the entry-level iPhone 16, the larger iPhone 16 Plus, the advanced iPhone 16 Pro and the top of the range: the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Does an extensive Pro device sound good to you, but are you not sure whether to choose the latest iPhone 16 Pro? We show you why this really is the best choice.
You can order the entire new iPhone 16 series from KPN from September 13. Want to be notified when it’s available? Sign up via the link below.
1. Camera control: New button for photography
First of all, there is a completely new button on the side of the iPhone. This can be operated in several ways. If you touch it gently, you let the camera focus on the subject. If you press it a bit harder, you start recording a video.
It is also touch-sensitive. If you swipe the button to the left or right, you zoom in and out. So it is an ideal shortcut for the photographers among us. With the button you can also call up ‘Visual Intelligence’, where you point the camera at something you want to know more about. Think of a piece of clothing you want to buy or what kind of plant you have in your hands at the garden center.
2. More powerful chip for Apple Intelligence
The iPhone 15 Pro introduced a Pro chip for the first time: the A17 Pro. Every year, a new processor is released and this year is no different. Under the hood, you can now find an A18 Pro chip. This one is a lot more powerful and energy-efficient. Like the 15 Pro, it supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence is Apple’s software based on artificial intelligence. With it you can rewrite texts, but you can also edit your photos down to the last detail. For example, remove people or objects from your photo with the Clean Up tool. However, you will have to wait until 2025 to use all the functions of Apple Intelligence.

3. Improved camera
Photos are also getting better, because the camera of the 16 Pro has received some innovations compared to the 15 Pro. Last year, the periscope lens was only reserved for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This year, the 16 Pro has it too. You use this to zoom in optically up to five times. The quality of your photo does not deteriorate as a result.
Furthermore, the ultra-wide angle lens has also received a major upgrade. It was always a 12 megapixel lens, but is now a 48 megapixel camera. So those will be beautiful photos! In addition, you can record videos with Spatial Audio and background noise can be filtered out.
4. Longer lasting battery
The iPhone 16 Pro grows slightly compared to its predecessor: to 6.3 inches. This also makes more room available for the battery. The battery capacity jumps from 3274 mAh to 3577 mAh.
In addition, the improved chip ensures that the battery is used more energy efficiently. According to Apple, it is about 20 percent more efficient. Where the 15 Pro can play videos for up to 23 hours, the successor can do that for up to 27 hours.

5. Bigger than ever and a new titanium shade
Furthermore, the screen is a bit larger than that of the iPhone 15 Pro. With that, you have a display of 6.1 inches, but that of the latest Apple creation is 6.3 inches. The housing is again made of strong and scratch-resistant titanium and is available in new colors. While the 15 Pro was available in blue, natural, black and white, with the 16 Pro you can choose between natural, black, white and desert titanium.
