About the Apple iPhone 16 Plus

The Apple iPhone 16 Plus delivers a big-screen experience with a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, making it the go-to choice for anyone who wants iPhone performance on a larger canvas. Powered by the A18 chip built on second-generation 3nm technology, it handles Apple Intelligence features that the iPhone 15 Plus simply cannot run. The 48MP Fusion camera now includes a 2x optical-quality telephoto mode, while the upgraded 12MP Ultra Wide gains autofocus and macro capabilities. Two new hardware additions stand out: the Action button, previously exclusive to Pro models, and the Camera Control button for intuitive camera access. Battery life is a genuine strength, with up to 27 hours of video playback and real-world gains of over two hours compared to the iPhone 15 Plus. Wi-Fi 7 and Thread support future-proof connectivity, and spatial photo and video capture opens up immersive viewing on Apple Vision Pro. For buyers who want the biggest screen without the Pro price tag, the iPhone 16 Plus hits a compelling sweet spot between size, capability, and value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Apple iPhone 16 Plus worth buying?
Yes, the iPhone 16 Plus is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a large-screen iPhone without paying Pro prices. The A18 chip brings Apple Intelligence support, the camera system has been meaningfully upgraded with macro and spatial photo capabilities, and battery life is among the best in the iPhone lineup at up to 27 hours of video playback.
Does the Apple iPhone 16 Plus have a 120Hz display?
No, the iPhone 16 Plus uses a 60Hz refresh rate display. ProMotion with 120Hz adaptive refresh remains exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. Despite this, the display offers excellent brightness at up to 2,000 nits peak outdoors and supports HDR content with Dolby Vision.
How good is the Apple iPhone 16 Plus battery life?
The iPhone 16 Plus offers outstanding battery life with up to 27 hours of video playback. In real-world testing, it consistently lasts over two hours longer than the iPhone 15 Plus. The efficient A18 chip and optimised display contribute to all-day performance even with heavy use, making it one of the longest-lasting iPhones available.
What camera features does the Apple iPhone 16 Plus have?
The iPhone 16 Plus features a 48MP Fusion main camera with 2x optical-quality telephoto and a 12MP Ultra Wide with autofocus that enables macro photography. It captures spatial photos and videos for Apple Vision Pro, supports Photographic Styles, and includes the new Camera Control button for quick access to camera settings and modes.
Does the Apple iPhone 16 Plus support Apple Intelligence?
Yes, the iPhone 16 Plus fully supports Apple Intelligence thanks to its A18 chip and 8GB of RAM. Features include writing tools, smart summaries, notification prioritisation, Genmoji, Image Playground, and an enhanced Siri with on-screen awareness. Apple Intelligence is not available on older non-Pro iPhone models.
What colours does the Apple iPhone 16 Plus come in?
The iPhone 16 Plus is available in five colours: Ultramarine, Teal, Pink, White, and Black. The colour-infused back glass and matching aluminium frame give each finish a distinctive, vibrant look that differs from the more understated tones of the Pro models.
What is the difference between the Apple iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16?
The iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 share the same A18 chip with Apple Intelligence, 48MP Fusion camera with macro, Camera Control button, and Action button. The Plus's advantages are its 6.7-inch screen versus 6.1 inches and significantly larger 4,674mAh battery delivering up to 27 hours of video playback compared to 22 hours on the standard model. The trade-off is a heavier design at 199g versus 170g. The iPhone 16 Plus starts at £729.99 SIM-free versus £599 for the iPhone 16. Choose the Plus for screen size and battery endurance, or the standard for portability and value. Compare Apple iPhone 16 deals.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
