1. Discover Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 runs on iOS 26 and supports most of the same features as the iPhone 17, including Apple Intelligence. With Apple Intelligence you get numerous smart features that make using the iPhone a lot easier and more fun. The smart writing assistant helps you rewrite, correct and summarize texts, for example in Mail or Messages.

You can also learn more about objects, places or texts in your environment thanks to Visual Intelligence through your camera or even screenshots, which are immediately analyzed. In addition, there is Image Playground that allows you to create unique images in different styles and the ability to create your own genmojis using simple word commands.
2. Powerful and fast for daily use
Although the iPhone 17 has now received a faster A19 chip, this does not mean that the iPhone 16 lags behind in terms of performance. The iPhone 16’s powerful A18 chip still ensures that the device runs more than smoothly during everyday use, such as opening apps, video calling or multitasking between different tasks. Whether you’re busy with work, relaxing with a game or streaming videos, the iPhone 16 switches effortlessly between all these apps.

The iPhone 16 is also highly recommended in terms of battery life. With a battery life of up to 22 hours of video playback, you can enjoy long trips without having to worry about charging. This makes the iPhone 16 a reliable choice for users who use their device intensively all day long.
Together with the powerful hardware and long battery performance, this ensures a smartphone that you can enjoy for years to come, even now that a newer model is available
3. Compact and powerful: 6.1-inch vs 6.3-inch
The iPhone 16 has a smaller screen than the iPhone 17, making the device a bit more handy for daily use. This makes it easier to operate the iPhone 16 with one hand and, for example, make it easier to touch all corners of the screen without having to move your grip.
Because the housing is also slightly more compact and lighter, the iPhone 16 also slides more easily into your pocket or jacket pocket and is less likely to stick out. The device is therefore very suitable for anyone who is looking for a smaller, more compact device that you can effortlessly take with you everywhere.
Get the iPhone 16 at a much cheaper price for a limited time
At Vodafone you can now temporarily get the iPhone 16 at a much cheaper price. If you also have internet at home via Ziggo, you will also benefit from additional benefits thanks to Combinatievoordeel. This means up to 7.50 euros discount per month on your Vodafone subscription, a free TV package of your choice and even more extras.
