MKBHD's First Impressions on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro: The Great Separation!

Renowned tech reviewer Marques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, has just released his first impressions of the highly anticipated iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. Fresh off a trip from Australia, he dives straight into the nitty-gritty of Apple's latest flagship phones.

The iPhone 16 series, while bearing a close resemblance to its predecessor, the iPhone 15, boasts some notable changes. Among the most eye-catching updates are the new color options—Ultramarine, Teal, Pink, Black, and White. The camera orientation has reverted to a side-by-side alignment, reminiscent of the iPhone 10 days, enabling the capture of spatial videos and pictures.

Under the hood, Apple has upgraded from the A16 Bionic chip to the new A18, promising a 20-30% performance improvement. This includes better ray tracing capabilities, a neural engine that’s twice as fast, and 8GB of RAM to handle enhanced Apple intelligence features. However, the most underrated hardware update might be the larger batteries, which Apple hinted at but did not specify with exact numbers.

Brownlee also quickly touches upon the other announcements from Apple's event, including new AirPods and an Apple Watch. For those interested in accessorizing their new iPhone 16, he recommends Anker's MagGo lineup, currently available at a 15% discount.
