iPhone 16 features a more refined dual-lens array on the back, with a 48 megapixel Fusion wide-angle lens and 12 megapixel ultra-wide lens. The cameras are now aligned vertically for the first time since the iPhone 12, instead of diagonally like on the iPhone 15, enabling spatial video capture.
There is also an improved Photographic Styles feature for real-time lighting and color adjustments, allowing specific tones and colors to be manipulated.{{Cite web |date=September 9, 2024 |title=iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-16/ |access-date=October 28, 2024 |language=en}}
= Action Button =
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come with the Action Button, which was first featured on the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. By default, the Action Button toggles silent mode. However, users can change the button's feature to do different things other than silent mode, like open the Camera app or toggle a focus mode.
= Camera Control button =
All iPhone 16 models now come with a new button called Camera Control. This button is on the right side of the device and allows the user to open the camera app, switch between different camera controls and features, and take photos and videos. The button can distinguish between light and hard presses. By pressing the button once, it opens the camera app. By lightly pressing it twice, it opens a small menu with different camera controls, such as zoom or tone. Pressing the button hard once takes a photo, while holding for a few seconds starts a video. The button can also be customized to open other apps that use the iPhone’s cameras, such as Magnifier, Code Scanner, or 3rd party camera apps.

=Indonesian sales ban=
On October 20, 2024, the Indonesian Ministry of Industry announced a formal ban on the sale and use of iPhone 16 models in Indonesia, citing that Apple has not fulfilled their promised investments in the country, and failing to meet the 40% local content requirement threshold for certification.{{Cite news |date=2024-10-26 |title=Apple iPhone 16: Why is it off-limits in Indonesia?

After further negotiations, which included the plan to build manufacturing, research and development facilities, the Ministry of Industry lifted the ban on February 26, 2025, with Apple now in the process of obtaining a local content certificate for selling the iPhone 16 models in Indonesia, starting from April 11.{{Cite news |date=2025-02-26 |title=Indonesia says Apple should soon be cleared to sell iPhone 16s |url=https://www.reuters.com/technology/indonesia-says-apple-should-soon-be-able-sell-iphone-16s-2025-02-26/ |access-date=2025-03-03 |work=Reuters}}{{cite news |last=Park |first=Kate |date=February 26, 2025 |title=Indonesia, Apple reach agreement to end iPhone 16 sales ban |url=https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/26/indonesia-apple-reach-agreement-to-end-iphone-16-sales-ban/ |work=TechCrunch }}
Reception
The iPhone 16 has received positive feedback for several aspects but also shows a few limitations. The upgraded design is a favourite, bringing a refreshed aesthetic with the available vibrant color options, which feel more dynamic than past models. The display maintains Apple's Super Retina HDR quality but is limited to a 60 Hz refresh rate, which some users find outdated compared to faster displays on cheaper competitor phones.{{Cite web |date=25 September 2024 |title=Apple iPhone 16 - Review 2024 - PCMag UK |url=https://uk.pcmag.com/mobile-phones/154506/apple-iphone-16 |access-date=2 November 2024 |website=PCMag UK}}{{Cite web |date=5 October 2024 |title=iPhone 16 review: Who needs the Pro? |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/iphone-16-review/ |access-date=2 November 2024 |website=Digital Trends}} The iPhone 16 Plus has been praised, weighing 30 grams less and having longer battery life than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, while having a similar screen size to the Pro Max.https://www.macstories.net/stories/iphone-16-plus-fun/ The "base model iPhone has often felt like a notable downgrade from its Pro counterparts, but that’s not the case this year", with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus having enough features to make the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max somewhat redundant.{{Cite web |date=25 September 2024 |title=Apple iPhone 16 - Review 2024 - PCMag UK |url=https://uk.pcmag.com/mobile-phones/154506/apple-iphone-16 |access-date=2 November 2024 |website=PCMag UK}}{{Cite web |date=5 October 2024 |title=iPhone 16 review: Who needs the Pro? |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/iphone-16-review/ |access-date=2 November 2024 |website=Digital Trends}}
