While there’s no doubt that the pricier Pro models of the iPhone 16 series are better, with improved and larger displays, a third camera, that gorgeous titanium build and more, this year’s iPhone has a lot in common with the Pro. To the extent that for many people, the Pro adds bells and whistles they can manage without.

It's not about one big feature, but how new elements like the Camera Control button and last year's Dynamic Island come together.

The most interesting of the bunch is a new adhesive design that can be loosened by applying low voltage from a 9-volt battery.
