Apple iPhone 16 Plus: The Ultimate Big‑Screen Experience
The Apple iPhone 16 Plus is the flagship large‑screen model from Apple’s 2024 lineup, designed for users who crave immersive visuals, long-lasting battery life, and top-tier performance. Building on the success of its predecessors, this iPhone combines modern enhancements with the familiar ease of use that millions around the world trust.
Stunning Display & Design
At the heart of the iPhone 16 Plus is its 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, delivering a resolution of 2,796 × 1,290 pixels and a striking contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1. With a peak brightness reaching 2,000 nits outdoors and as low as 1 nit indoors, this screen excels in both bright sunlight and dim environments.
Though it maintains a 60 Hz refresh rate, the display retains vibrant color rendering across the P3 gamut and offers HDR10 and Dolby Vision support for rich viewing experiences. Its sleek bezel-less design is protected by Ceramic Shield glass and encased in an aluminum frame rated IP68 for dust and water resistance.
The vertical layout of the dual camera array gives the rear a modern, refined aesthetic—stepping away from the diagonal look of previous models . Despite its larger size, it weighs just under 200 g (approximately 7.0 oz), offering a comfortable grip in both hands.
Performance That Powers Ahead
Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Plus is powered by the A18 Bionic chipset, a 3 nm marvel featuring a 6-core CPU (2× performance + 4× efficiency cores), 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine capable of 35 TOPS. With 8 GB of RAM, the phone achieves impressive benchmark numbers: around 3,257 single-core and 7,842 multi-core on Geekbench 6, far outpacing previous models.
This powerhouse performance translates into seamless multitasking, console-quality gaming, and AI processing. The Neural Engine enables suite of Apple Intelligence features, including advanced image recognition, real-time transcription, and smart camera enhancements. Whether using everyday apps or demanding tasks like ray-traced games, the A18 delivers smooth, efficient power with up to 20% better GPU performance over its predecessor.
Next‑Level Camera System
The iPhone 16 Plus showcases a refined camera system, featuring a 48 MP Fusion wide camera with sensor-shift optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 12 MP ultra-wide lens that doubles as a macro camera. The main sensor uses quad-pixel binning to produce detailed 12 MP shots with excellent low-light clarity.
New camera hardware includes faster autofocus and wider aperture lenses for brighter results and sharper close-ups. Video capabilities include 4K recording at 60 fps (in Dolby Vision) and high-frame-rate 1080p / 240 fps slow-motion modes. Audio Mix feature—now available beyond Pro models—enhances videos with studio-like sound and cinematic mixing.
Two tactile buttons enhance the shooting experience:
- Camera Control button: Touch-sensitive, tactile with haptic feedback, it opens the Camera app, zooms, cycles modes, and activates Visual Intelligence to recognize objects like pets.
- Action Button: A multi-functional upgrade replacing the mute switch; programmable to open apps or enable functions like flashlight, focus modes, or camera.
This tactile control allows photographers to focus on composition rather than on-screen navigation.
Battery Life & Charging
One of the iPhone 16 Plus’s standout features is its 4674 mAh battery, supporting up to 27 hours of video playback, 24 hours streaming, and 100 hours audio playback. Real-world tests show users enjoying full-day (or beyond) usage, with some reporting over 9 hours screen-on time per charge .
Charging is versatile:
- USB‑C wired charging: ~50% in 30 minutes using 20 W+ adapter; full charge in ~90 minutes.
- MagSafe wireless: up to 25 W; Qi2 standard up to 15 W.
- Wireless is convenient for overnight top-ups and enables iPhone StandBy to transform the device into a smart night‑clock display.
Build, Durability & Repairability
The iPhone 16 Plus combines a ceramic-shield front, aluminum frame, and color-infused glass back. Rated IP68, it withstands immersion up to 6 meters for 30 minutes. Apple highlights sustainability via over 30% recycled materials, and repairability scores reflect improved serviceability.
Connectivity & Software
Thanks to USB‑C 2.0, the iPhone 16 Plus supports charging and data transfer, though it lacks USB‑C Gen 3 speeds reserved for Pro models . Connectivity suite includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6/7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, Ultra Wideband gen2, and support for emergency SOS via satellite.
It ships with iOS 18, loaded with features like a customizable home screen, advanced lock-screen widgets, richer iMessage formatting, third-party control center integration, and full Apple Intelligence suite.
Who Should Choose the iPhone 16 Plus?
The iPhone 16 Plus is perfect for:
- Media lovers & gamers who prioritize a large, vibrant screen and long battery life.
- Photographers/videographers who value quality main and ultra-wide shots, macro capabilities, and advanced audio support.
- Users craving premium performance without the higher price of Pro models.
- Travelers who benefit from satellite SOS, fast 5G/Wi‑Fi 7, and durable build.
But if you demand smoother animations (120 Hz) or optical zoom, a Pro model may be a better fit—even if you lose some battery endurance.
Price & Availability
Launched in September 2024, the iPhone 16 Plus starts at $899 USD / £899 / ৳93,000 in markets like Bangladesh. It comes in 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB storage options with five elegant colors: Black, White, Pink, Teal, and Ultramarine.
Final Verdict
The iPhone 16 Plus excels as a powerhouse in battery life, performance, and imaging—perfect for anyone seeking a large-screen experience without paying the premium for Pro-level features. The absence of a high refresh rate and zoom lens are trade-offs, but for most users, the A18 chip, dual cameras, extended battery, and smart buttons make this device a compelling choice.
If a big display, top-tier battery, and premium performance matter most, the iPhone 16 Plus is a smart buy in 2025.
