Apple iPhone Air / Apple iPhone 16 Pro

Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the rectangular measurement.

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with the content: 120 Hz smoothness when scrolling and gaming, lower rates on still images to save power. Apple quotes 1000 nits typical, 1600 nits HDR peak, 2000 nits outdoor peak and 1 nit minimum; peaks are not sustained full-screen brightness.

The panel varies its rate with the content, keeping scrolling smooth and lowering the rate for still images and Always-On to save power.

3000 nits is a short-term peak reached in strong sunlight, not a sustained full-screen brightness.

GSMArena reports the frame is grade 5 titanium.

The A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro models uses a 6-core GPU; the Air's version has 5 GPU cores.

Apple says A18 Pro, built on second-generation 3 nm technology, runs the same workload 15% faster with 20% less power than the previous generation; the GPU is up to 20% faster and hardware ray tracing up to 2× faster. The chip also enables faster USB 3 transfers and ProRes recording.

Apple says a standard setup uses about 12–24 GB for iOS and deletable apps, and Apple Intelligence models about 7 GB. GSMArena reports 12 GB of RAM in all versions; Apple does not publish RAM size.

There is a single rear camera; the 2x view uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens. There is no ultrawide or macro camera.

4K at 120 fps allows high-frame-rate 4K footage that can be slowed down. Log recording produces a flat image that leaves more room for colour grading. High-bit-rate ProRes needs an external drive.

Center Stage automatically widens and shifts the frame, allowing landscape-style framing while holding the phone upright.

With the separately sold iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, video playback rises to 40 hours. Apple does not give capacity in mAh; GSMArena reports 3149 mAh.

No adapter is included; the box has a 1 m USB-C cable.

MagSafe needs a 30 W or higher adapter for 20 W.

The USB 2 speed slows wired transfers of large video files to a computer.

Wi-Fi 7 availability varies by country; Thread connects to compatible smart-home devices.

mmWave 5G support is not listed.

Physical SIM cards cannot be used; eSIM needs carrier support.

Apple notes that iPhone 16 Pro sold in the US is not compatible with physical SIM cards; models for other markets have a SIM tray.

Satellite features work only in supported countries; some require a carrier plan.

Tested under lab conditions; resistance is not permanent and liquid damage is not covered by warranty.

Camera Control adjusts exposure, depth, zoom and styles with a slide.

The thickness is for the body and excludes the camera plateau.

According to GSMArena's review, the phone went on sale in September 2025 with iOS 26.

The Pro system covers a 10× optical zoom range from 0.5× to 5×, with digital zoom up to 25×. The 2× image is a 12 MP crop from the centre of the 48 MP main sensor, not a separate camera.

Apple says Camera Control combines a tactile switch, a force sensor and a capacitive surface: a click opens the camera, while a light press and finger slide adjust zoom, exposure or depth of field.

mmWave and satellite services vary by country. Cellular model numbers are A3083 and A3084.

10 Gb/s transfers need a USB 3 cable. Wireless charging power depends on the adapter and charger.
