Apple has not announced the iPhone SE 4th generation, but a supplement to the iPhone 16 line. With the iPhone 16th, the company tries to attract a new audience to the iPhone. With a suggested retail price of € 719 it is no longer a budget telephone, what is the 16th then?
It is best to see the new iPhone as a simplified version of the iPhone 16 with single concessions. In this article we list some interesting and special details about the iPhone 16th. For example, can you use the new iPhone in combination with a Magsafe charger?
iPhone 16th: None Se, None 16
The new iPhone 16th is an interesting device. Where the iPhone SE was always an old iPhone in a new look, the iPhone 16th is previously a stripped version of the current line. Not surprising that Apple has chosen 16th as a name.
Yet you see some similarities with the SE. For example, the 16th has the design and housing of the iPhone 14, but with new parts such as stronger Ceramic Shield, USB-C, action button and a highly improved camera. The price, on the other hand, is not SE. This way you pay € 719 for the entry -level model, the SE was € 479.
Edge-to-Edge OLED display with Notch
The Super Retina XDR OLED display of iPhone 16th runs from edge to edge. And with the same contrast ratio as on iPhone 16 you can perfectly stream, gam or read, even in HDR. Instead of a Dynamic Island, the 16th contains a notch. This is similar to the iPhone 14 and is therefore smaller than, for example, the notch of the iPhone 12.
Action button, not a camera control
Unlike the iPhone 16 series, the 16th has no camera control on the side. With this button you can quickly open the camera and use camera functions. This button is also used for Visual Intelligence.
Yet with the help of the iPhone 16th camera you can recognize objects, buildings, animals and more. This way you can activate the function using the action button. This replaces the sound on/off switch and can be set at your own discretion.
No magsafe
The iPhone 16th has no Support for Magsafe. This means that you cannot use the faster wireless charging technique from Apple and the magnetic attachment of accessory on this device. A strange choice from Apple, not only does it give extra user ease, they can also sell more accessories. You can charge the device wirelessly via Qi, but at a low speed.
iPhone 16th 2 – 1 camera system
With the powerful 2 -in -1 camera system on iPhone 16th, you record small and big moments, and you also benefit from night mode and portrait mode. The 48-MP Fusion camera uses computational photography to take photos in super high resolution, in which light and detail are nicely balanced. Because a 2x telephoto lens of optical quality is integrated, you have two cameras in one.
With the optical zoom you get closer to your subject and you can choose the ideal composition. The TrueTepth camera with autofocus at the front guarantees sharper close-ups and beautiful group selfies. The newest generation HDR accurately records the subject and background, with natural skin tones and a balanced representation of white tones, shadows and everything in between.
With iPhone 16th you can record videos in 4K with Dolby Vision up to 60 BPS in spatial audio, so that you merge with AirPods, Apple Vision Pro or a surroundsound system.
With Audiomix you also have more ways to adjust the sound of your video to your liking. This makes it possible, for example, to insulate the voice of the person in the picture or to make the sound sound as if it were included in a professional studio. You also have the option to bring the voices forward and to display the background noises in surroundsound. And due to the reduction of wind noise, which involves a powerful machine learning algorithm, the sound quality only gets better.
Own 5G modem
The iPhone 16th contains the new Apple C1, the first modem designed by Apple for mobile data. This is also the most energy -efficient modem so far in an iPhone, and ensures a fast, reliable 5G connection. And has another advantage: more energy efficient. For example, the Apple Silicon with C1, the brand new internal design and the energy -efficient iOS 18 all contribute to the extraordinary battery life of 26 hours of videos.
A18 with Apple Intelligence
iPhone 16th is made for Apple Intelligence, which makes all kinds of handy new things possible on your iPhone. Unfortunately not yet available in the Netherlands and Belgium, but soon in Europe. You can also activate Apple Intelligence via a detour.
Thanks to the super power of the newest generation A18 chip, iPhone is 16th at lightning speed and energy efficient, and you take advantage of all the benefits of Apple Intelligence. The CPU has 6 cores and is up to 80% faster than the A13 Bionic chip of iPhone 11. That makes everything just as smooth, from everyday things to more intensive Apple Intelligence tasks.
Even the most demanding mobile games run effortlessly thanks to the 4 -Core GPU. With the super -fast graphics they come to life completely. Ray tracing with hardware acceleration makes lighting and reflections even more lifelike. And the 16 -Core Neural Engine is optimized for large generative models. Machine learning models run up to six times as fast as on the A13 Bionic.
SOS emergency notification via satellite and accident detection
The iPhone 16th offers support for SOS emergency notification via satellite and accident detection. With the new iPhone it is possible to alert the emergency services with SOS emergency notification via satellite. This function then connects to a satellite network and is intended for emergencies at locations where no mobile and wifin network is available.
With an accident detection, the iPhone can detect a serious car accident using the gear meter, gyroscope and a special crash detection algorithm developed by Apple itself. The iPhone can then help you to contact the emergency services and to inform your contacts for emergencies.
