The next generation of iPhones has been officially unveiled, bringing with them yet another slew of new features and refinements to existing features as well as designs. The new iPhone 16 series marks a significant new milestone for Apple smartphones as they are “built from the ground up” to prominently feature Apple Intelligence, which is the company’s artificial intelligence offering that makes their devices even smarter than before. If you haven’t caught up with the news yet, we have the lowdown on the important bits that were announced, including the iPhone 16 series’ features and price in Malaysia. So let’s get going!
What’s New On The iPhone 16 Series?
iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Plus
The non-pro iPhones see some huge upgrades this year in hardware. They gained not one but two new buttons on the side, namely the Action Button which made its debut in the iPhone 15 Pro series last year and the all-new Camera Control, a shutter button that offers new intuitive ways to snap pictures and videos as well as control camera functions like a digital camera. It responds to light and firm presses as well as finger slides with haptic feedback to provide a more tactile and precise shooting experience.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus also feature a slight change in camera lens design that distinguishes them from their predecessors, plus three new vibrant colourways—Ultramarine, Teal, and Pink—that make them instantly stand out. Internally, there is a bigger battery that Apple claims will give a huge boost in battery life.

iPhone 16 Pro & iPhone 16 Pro Max
Like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, the new pro iPhones also have the Camera Control shutter button. Other significant upgrades include larger displays thanks to thinner bezels, making them the largest iPhone displays ever. In the camera department, you will find a new 48MP ultra-wide camera plus the ability to shoot videos in 4K 120fps Dolby Vision to produce the highest-quality videos in a smartphone.
The titanium trend continues with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max with upgrades in build quality. With Grade 5 titanium design and a new, refined micro-blasted finish, the build material is stronger and more scratch-resistant than ever. Of course, there is also a new colourway debut for the pro phones. The Desert Titanium features a stronger bronze hue than the Natural Titanium of its predecessors, which also makes a comeback this year. They join Black Titanium and White Titanium in the full lineup.
