Camera Experience
The rear cameras are a 48MP main, a 48MP ultrawide and a 12MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, a step up from the 3x lens on the iPhone 15 Pro. The front camera is 12MP. SpecHub has not tested image quality, and further lens figures are omitted because they were not verified.

Who Should Consider This Phone?
People who want a compact phone with a 120Hz screen, a long telephoto lens and a titanium build will find it a strong fit.
Who May Prefer Another Phone?
Buyers who want a larger screen and the biggest battery should consider the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Those who do not need a telephoto lens or 120Hz can save money with the standard iPhone 16.
Editorial Verdict
The iPhone 16 Pro offers a long telephoto lens, a ProMotion display and a titanium body in a compact size. Its main limits are a modest reported battery and the lack of a charger in the box.
