Right here’s every part you have to find out about preordering the brand new iPhone 16

The mud continues to be settling from Apple’s newest iPhone occasion, which launched us to the Apple Watch Sequence 10, a new set of AirPods, and a collection of smartphones which might be on account of arrive later this month. And whereas we’ve solely had some preliminary hands-on time with the brand new iPhone 16 fashions, preorders formally open up tomorrow, September thirteenth.

Apple’s newest telephones — particularly the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Professional, and 16 Professional Max — are set to reach on September twentieth. They introduce new processors and a slick new Digicam Management button, however none of them look to be a drastic overhaul of final 12 months’s iPhone 15 collection. That being mentioned, maybe issues will get attention-grabbing when Apple Intelligence involves the brand new fashions with the discharge of iOS 18.1 beta in October.

We’re at the moment placing the brand new iPhones by means of their paces; nonetheless, we all know a few of you’re the early adopter sorts who can’t wait to get ahold of the newest factor. (We’re responsible of this, too, so no judgment right here.) To assist, we’ve put collectively a little bit steerage on what you’re getting with every new iPhone 16 mannequin, in addition to which retailers are at the moment providing preorder incentives.

One of the best time period I’d use to explain the bottom iPhone 16 and 16 Plus is “trickle-down.” Lots of their greatest options are taken from final 12 months’s Professional line, together with the Motion Button, a short-telephoto 2x crop mode, and an autofocusing ultra-wide digicam with macro mode. Another options are in parity (or near parity) with the pricier iPhone 16 Professional, like the brand new Digicam Management button and Apple’s new A18 chip — although, the Execs get the fancier A18 Professional. Nonetheless, one sticking level for some could also be that the usual iPhone 16 doesn’t inherit the 120Hz refresh charge discovered on the Execs, because it’s nonetheless working at a middling 60Hz.

Refresh charge apart, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus is perhaps a number of the most well-rounded mainline iPhones shortly — if not essentially the most vibrant — and that’s with out the forthcoming, much-hyped Apple Intelligence options.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus begin at $799 and $899, respectively, and are set to launch on September twentieth, with preorders opening at 8AM ET / 5AM PT on September thirteenth. We count on Greatest Purchase and different retailers to open preorders across the identical time as Apple, however in the event you’re trying to save time, Apple is at the moment letting you choose your telephone and get a part of the method finished forward of time — a type of pre-preorder.

Apple made the iPhone 16 Professional and 16 Professional Max larger than ever at 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively. Meaning every telephone is barely taller and wider than the iPhone 15 Professional era, with smaller bezels, although they keep the titanium body building. The marque {hardware} function this 12 months is the Digicam Management button, which lets you take snaps and function the varied digicam capabilities with faucet and swipe gestures. There’s additionally a 48MP ultra-wide digicam (up from final 12 months’s 12MP shooter), a brand new A18 Professional processor, and a “desert titanium” end that’s basically a darker shade of gold.

The iPhone 16 Professional and 16 Professional Max launch alongside the non-pro fashions on September twentieth. The smaller Professional begins at $999 whereas the jumbo Professional Max begins at $1,199, with preorders for each opening at 8AM ET / 5AM PT on September thirteenth. If you wish to be the earliest of adopters, Apple is permitting you to decide on your telephone configuration now, making it simpler to preorder your machine come Friday.

You’re in all probability conversant in the drill in relation to “deals” from the three massive US carriers. Verizon, AT&T, and T-Cellular all plan on providing incentives for the brand new iPhones within the type of trade-in promos and invoice credit. Right here’s a quick abstract of what’s available when preorders open up on September thirteenth.
