It’s almost time for the release of Apple’s iPhone 16, which promises to be not only the latest and greatest smartphone, but also one with more features to look forward to than ever before.
With a splash of new colours, awesome camera shortcuts, and game-changing features, here’s a quick rundown of what makes this phone your next must-have device.

New colors that pop

It looks like Apple will be mixing things up with some eye-catching new shades for the iPhone 16. If your preference is something sleek and classic, the standard black and white will be available as your go-to shades. If you like your stand out style to match phone with fashion, keep your eyes peeled pink, teal, and ultramarine. With a colour for everyone, the iPhone 16 isn’t just a phone it’s a statement.

Camera magic at your fingertips

If snapping selfies is your thing, you’re in for a treat. The iPhone 16 brings the coolest new camera shortcuts to make capturing the movement for social media or just yourself easier than ever:

  • Tiny touches make big differences. The Camera Control features a tactile switch with a high-precision force sensor to enable the light tap gesture, and a capacitive sensor for touch interactions (like tap and hold or swipe), to quickly launch the camera, take a photo, and start video recording.
  • Next-gen Photographic Styles have arrived and promise to help users express their creativity and customize their photos, with features that include the ability to adjust colour, highlights, and shadows in real time. 
  • For the tech savvy, the iPhone 16 will feature a 48MP Fusion camera for a 2x optical-quality Telephoto option, a new 12MP Ultra Wide camera with autofocus enables macro photography, and Ultra Wide camera that gathers up to 2.6x more light and higher image quality.

The features to focus on

Here are even more standout features that’ll be sure to make the iPhone 16 your new tech obsession:

  • The A18 chip is a game-changer to boost speed and efficiency, which will improve the user experience of working, gaming, streaming, or scrolling social media.
  • A strong and sleek titanium body for a phone that is built to last.
  • Increased battery life for more freedom to stay in touch, take pics, listen to podcasts or any other needs for those who are always on the move.

iPhone 16 and aloSIM eSIMs

Like the iPhone 15 and its recent predecessors, iPhone 16 models will be eSIM-only, meaning no cumbersome physical SIM card to worry about. As with all eSIM-compatible phones, you can get an eSIM for an iPhone 15  via aloSIM. Simply select your destination and the plan that best fits your needs before following the super simple set-up guide. 

When can you get yours?

The iPhone 16 is expected to be available for sale on Friday 20 September 2024. (If you’re keen, consider setting a reminder since the consumer demand is expected to be high!) No matter if you’re a seasoned Apple fan or new to the iPhone family, this is one very exciting iPhone release you won’t want to miss.
