Apple unveiled its iPhone 16 series yesterday, showcasing stunning new color options, an innovative photo capture button, larger batteries, and enhanced integration with Apple Intelligence. While many might be aware of the standout features, a few subtle enhancements introduced this year might have gone unnoticed.
Enhanced Charging Speed
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come with significantly improved charging speeds. Users can now enjoy 25W charging with MagSafe, and wired charging capabilities can reach up to 45W with USB-C.
This is a leap forward compared to older models, which were limited to 15W via MagSafe and 30W with USB-C. If quick recharging is a priority, the iPhone 16 could be a worthy upgrade.
Reduced Minimum Brightness
Apple’s latest models also feature a much lower minimum brightness level, reaching as low as 1 nit. If you’ve struggled to dim your iPhone’s brightness in the dark, the iPhone 16 is set to remedy that issue.
Advanced Macro Photography
While macro photography was first introduced with the iPhone 13 Pro in 2021, it has only now become available on the more affordable models. The iPhone 16 features a fresh ultra-wide camera that allows users to capture stunning close-up macro shots.
Speedier Wi-Fi
All new iPhone 16 models now support Wi-Fi 7, enabling faster internet speeds for base model users. However, to fully utilize this feature, you’ll need a compatible internet service and router.
Wi-Fi 7 boasts maximum speeds of 46 Gbps, which is over five times faster than Wi-Fi 6E’s 9 Gbps. Additionally, it uses 320 MHz channels and the 6 GHz band, effectively minimizing interference and improving signal clarity.

Conclusion
While the more flashy features like Apple Intelligence, vibrant new colors, and the upgraded camera button may attract most users, the finer details are equally captivating.
