iPhone 16 vs iPhone 16 Pro: these are the differences

Do you want the newest iPhone of the moment? Then you have to be with the iPhone 16. But then you still have a difficult choice: do you choose the iPhone 16 or are you going for the iPhone 16 Pro? There are secretly quite a few differences between the two devices. We show what differences these are exactly.

In the table below you will find the most important differences between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro in short.

As you can see above in the overview, there are quite a few differences between the regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. We list the most important thing for you.

Housing

The iPhone 16 is slightly smaller than the 16 Pro, but the difference is not that great: 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm compared to 149.6 x 71.5 x 8.3 mm. The difference in weight is slightly larger, namely 29 g (the iPhone 16 weighs 170 g, the iPhone 16 Pro 199 g). Furthermore, there is one other big difference with regard to the housing: the iPhone 16 has a frame of aluminum, the iPhone 16 Pro has one of titanium.

Screen

Even when we look at the screen, the iPhone 16 is slightly smaller. It has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen and the iPhone 16 Pro a 6.3 inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED screen. The latter is also provided with promotion, which means that Always-on is also possible. The iPhone 16 has a resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels and the iPhone 16 Pro comes at 1206 x 2622 pixels. This means that the number of pixels per inch on both devices is the same (460 ppi).

Camera

As always, the Pro model has a better camera than the ‘regular’ model. This is because it has a 48MP wide angle (with a diaphragm of f/1.8), a 48MP ultraswood angle (with a diaphragm of f/2.2) and a 12MP zoom (with an aperture of f/2.8). A hem is completely missing on the iPhone 16. There you will only find a 48MP wedding angle (with a diaphragm of f/1.6) and a 12MP ultraswood angle (with an aperture of f/2.2).

It is striking that the aperture of the 48MP Woothoek of the iPhone 16 is slightly larger than that of the 48MP wedding of the iPhone 16 Pro (f/1.6 to F/1.8). The selfie cameras of the two devices are then identical: 12 MP with an aperture of f/1.9.

Performance

The A18 Pro of the iPhone 16 Pro is just a bit more powerful than the A18 of the iPhone 16. They are both hexa-cores. The iPhone 16 runs 2x 4.04 GHz + 4x 2.20 GHz and the iPhone 16 Pro at 2x 4.05 GHz + 4x 2.42 GHz. In addition, the GPU of the iPhone 16 Pro 6 cores and that of the iPhone 16 only 5. In addition, both devices are equipped with the same amount of working memory, namely 8 GB.

Battery

If we look at the batteries of both devices, we also see marginal differences. In the iPhone 16 we see a battery with a capacity of 3561 MAH, in the iPhone 16 Pro one with a capacity of 3582 mAh. Despite this small difference, the iPhone 16 Pro manages to keep it up for longer. This way you can watch videos with it until 27 hours and with the iPhone 16 ‘But’ until 10 pm.
