The best iPhone features are reserved for Pro models, but you may not need them as much as you think you do.

The iPhone 16 Pro is equipped with the A18 Pro , Apple 's most advanced phone processor.

The 16 and 16 Plus are equipped with just two rear cameras: a 48 -megapixel main (wide-angle) with optical stabilization.

The Pro and Pro Max share that main camera, but also sport a 48 megapixel ultra-wide and a 12 megapixel 5x telephoto.

All iPhone 16 models have USB-C , MagSafe charging, and customizable Action and Camera Control buttons.

For most shoppers, the gap between Pros and regular iPhones is smaller than ever, at least in daily usage.

The Pro's cameras could be more compelling for some people, since a 5x telephoto makes a world of difference in terms of what you can capture.
