The iPhone 16 Pro is a [[smartphone]] designed and marketed by [[Apple|Apple]], announced on September 9, 2024, and released on September 20, 2024, with the [[iPhone 16 Pro Max]] and base 16 models. The size-exclusive era ended again: the smaller Pro received the tetraprism 5× telephoto the [[iPhone 15 Pro]] had been denied, alongside a display grown to 6.3 inches within nearly the same body, the A18 Pro, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide completing the high-resolution trio, and 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision video — the generation's showpiece camera spec.

Camera Control arrived tier-wide; the Pros added studio-quality microphones and Audio Mix, machine-learning separation of voice from background recorded in video. Desert Titanium replaced Blue in the finish set. The 16 Pro pair served the customary flagship year before the [[iPhone 17 Pro]] generation succeeded it in September 2025.

= Design =

Grade-5 titanium at 199 g with the generation's thinnest bezels around the enlarged 6.3-inch panel — the footprint grew barely a millimeter. Natural, Desert, White, and Black Titanium; Camera Control beneath the Action Button on the right edge; Ceramic Shield (a new harder generation), IP68, MagSafe at 25 W.

The A18 Pro's larger caches, six-core ray-tracing GPU, and doubled Neural Engine bandwidth aimed squarely at Apple Intelligence and the 4K 120 pipeline; a 20% larger battery cell and better thermals fixed the 15 Pro's throttling complaints. Wi-Fi 7 and 25 W MagSafe matched the generation.

= Camera =

The trio went high-resolution: the new 48 MP ultra-wide brought macro and wide shots to parity with the Fusion main, the 5× tetraprism reached both Pro sizes at last, and 4K at 120 fps in Dolby Vision — with post-capture speed ramping in Photos — gave the video story its annual first. Audio Mix's in-frame/studio/cinematic voice isolation made the microphone array a reviewable feature for the first time. Camera testing again ranked the system the year's most complete.

= Software =

iOS 18 at launch; Apple Intelligence staged through 18.1–18.3; Visual Intelligence launched via Camera Control. Current release train since.

= Release and reception =

With the Max's size premium no longer buying camera hardware, the 6.3-inch Pro reviewed as the sane flagship: every capability, one hand. The Apple Intelligence rollout's slow drip — the selling point arriving quarterly — was the cycle's recurring criticism, aimed at marketing more than hardware. Solid Pro-led sales carried to the September 9, 2025 handover to the [[iPhone 17 Pro]].

= Legacy =

The 16 Pro finished the Pro camera's resolution transition (all-48 MP capture across wide and ultra-wide), delivered the 4K 120 benchmark rivals spent the next year chasing, and — with camera parity restored — reset the Pro/Max choice to pure size preference, where the [[iPhone 17 Pro]] generation keeps it. Desert Titanium closed the titanium era's palette; its successor returned to aluminum.
