Reason #1: Periscope lens

Compared to the dual-camera used in the standard version of iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Pro is equipped with three lenses (main camera, ultra-wide-angle lens and 5x telephoto lens).

The new phone will also upgrade the ultra-wide-angle camera, with the pixel increased from 12MP to 48MP. In contrast, the standard version of the iPhone 16 will still be equipped with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera.

In addition, it is equipped with a dedicated shooting button. You can launch the camera with a single click to take a photo, and long press to switch to video mode. It also supports touch gestures, such as tapping once to display a new preview, and tapping twice to view controls.

Reason #2: Configuration improvement

The iPhone 16 Pro is more powerful then its predecessors equipped with an A18 Pro processor and a 16-core neural engine. The Apple Intelligence speed is 15% faster than the previous generation A17 Pro, and the total available system memory bandwidth is 17% higher.

At the same time, the CPU is equipped with a 6-core (2+4) CPU, and the GPU performance is improved by 20% compared to the A17 Pro. It also uses a larger cache, a next-generation ML accelerator, faster USB 3 speeds, and ProRes video recording.

Moreover, the internal heat dissipation treatment is actually done. The new inner frame is made of 100% renewable aluminum, through solid-state diffusion technology and titanium metal outer frame, combined with graphite layer aluminum metal substructure, which also means that the performance will be better.

Coupled with the support of 8GB of running memory, it can be said that in terms of performance, the iPhone16 Pro will not disappoint.

Reason #3: Larger screen size

The screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro series has been upgraded to 6.3 inches and is available in four colors: black, primary color, white and desert color, to stimulate users’ desire to choose.

After the key screen size becomes larger, it still supports ProMotion adaptive refresh rate technology, up to 120Hz, which meets the smoothness of daily use.

Moreover, compared with the iPhone 16, the standard version uses a 60Hz refresh rate, which will indeed make a big difference in daily usage experience.

The key point is that after the screen size becomes larger, the space inside the body can also accommodate more things, which also makes the new phone’s stacking of materials more aggressive.

Reason 4#: More Features

It should be noted that except for the top-end iPhone16 Pro Max, which starts at 256GB, the other three models still start at 128GB.

However, the iPhone 16 Pro has also achieved increased quantity without increasing price, which is indeed rare in the current market where component costs and prices are surging.

What’s more, the price of iPhone phones has been dropping at a very fast pace in recent years, which also means that the iPhone16 Pro may also see a price reduction.

Therefore, increasing the features without raising the price is indeed a good thing for Apple fans, especially for those who want to wait and see.

Reason 5#: Balanced models

Although the iPhone 16 series released four versions at once, the iPhone 16 Pro should be the most balanced product among the four models.

It not only supports 4K 120 frame shooting, the 4K 120 frame mode supports Dolby video shooting and ProRes video shooting, and also supports video playback for up to 27 hours.

It is also equipped with a new generation of super-ceramic panel, made of ultra-high-quality grade 5 titanium metal, and has the thinnest bezel of all Apple products.

From these aspects alone, it means that the overall strength of the iPhone 16 Pro is very strong, which also means that the user experience will be better.
