What to expect from the Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Plus

Apple adds some new buttons to the Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. As rumoured, the two inherit the iPhone 15 Pro's Action Buttons alongside a new "Camera Control" button. This new physical button is a dedicated shutter and another way to change settings in the Camera app. The rear cameras on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are now stacked vertically. It is better suited to capture spatial video this way, which you can use with the Vision Pro.

The camera upgrades to the new iPhone 16 and 16 Plus include its lenses. It gets an equivalent of four lenses all in all despite only having two sensors. The 48-megapixel Fusion camera comes with a 2x telephoto option, while the new 12-megapixel ultra-wide can also be used for macro photography.

The screen sizes are similar to its predecessors: a 6.1-inch iPhone 16 and a 6.7-inch iPhone 16 Plus. And there are new vivid colours to choose from with these new models. It comes in white, pink, teal, ultramarine, and black.

The Apple iPhone 16 gets a starting price of CA$1,129 for the 128GB model, while the iPhone 16 Plus' starting price is CA$1,279 for the same storage option.
