I bought the iPhone 16 in the gorgeous Ultramarine finish. Here's how it's gone so far

68% Informative

The iPhone 16, especially in the Ultramarine finish, is in a league of its own.

The textured aluminum frame and the matte finish back panel scream premium.

The 48MP primary camera captures significantly sharper photos, even though it defaults to 24MP pictures.

While the video recording capabilities remain the same, it features a wider aperture (f/2) for letting in more light.

Apple announced the iPhone 16 on September 9 , opened preorders on September 13 , and released the phone on September 20 .

It's great to have a versatile camera setup on a smartphone, but I don't understand the point behind Camera Control .

The iPhone 16 makes up for a solid upgrade from the iPhone 13, all things considered.
