Released in 2024, the iPhone 16 remains a safe bet today, even after the arrival of the iPhone 17. With the integration of Apple Intelligence, solid performance, and a refined design, it continues to impress. Here’s why the iPhone 16 is still a relevant model in 2025.
Apple Intelligence: AI serving your daily life
The major innovation of this generation, Apple Intelligence enhances the user experience with:
- A smarter Siri, able to draft or summarize your messages and emails.
- Automatic organization of notifications for greater clarity.
- Image search and editing by voice command, directly on the device.
Apple ensures data processing is done locally or on secure servers, an approach that puts privacy at the heart of its priorities.
A timelessly elegant design
The iPhone 16 retains Apple’s signature sleek and refined aesthetics. Its matte glass back and aluminum frame come with new pastel shades (sky blue, soft green, pale yellow, light pink), complementing the more classic space black.
Two formats are available:
- iPhone 16 with a 6.1-inch display
- iPhone 16 Plus with a 6.7-inch display
Both feature a Super Retina XDR panel, bright and easy to read in all conditions.
Power and battery life you can count on
Powered by the A18 chip, the iPhone 16 delivers outstanding smoothness for every task, from mobile gaming to video editing. Its battery easily lasts a full day without compromise.
Photography also benefits from major improvements:
- optimized low-light scene management,
- sharper portraits,
- better stabilized videos,
- automatic enhancements powered by Apple Intelligence.
The other models in the range
- iPhone 16e: a more affordable model, designed for those who want the essentials while still enjoying Apple Intelligence in a simplified version.
- iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max: premium versions with high-end materials (titanium), the A18 Pro chip, advanced optical zoom, and extended storage capacity.
Should you still choose the iPhone 16 in 2025?
Yes, without hesitation. Even with the arrival of the iPhone 17, the iPhone 16 remains a balanced and reliable model. It combines refined design, strong performance, and AI integration.
For users of the iPhone 14 or older, the upgrade is particularly worthwhile. And thanks to Tango’s mobile offers in Luxembourg, the iPhone 16 continues to be an excellent choice to enjoy a modern, smart smartphone without compromise.
