Apple iPhone 16 vs Apple iPhone 17

The Action-mode resolution and frame rate are retained together, not compared as ordinary4K recording.

Resolution, rate and mode are kept together.

Manufacturer playback and approximate charging tests are separate claims. Adapter wattage is not maximum handset input; compatible wireless equipment is required.

Playback and charge setups are distinct manufacturer claims, not mixed-use battery life or measured sustained input.

The finish section identifies the materials for the selected Ultramarine finish. Material names do not prove comparative drop or scratch resistance.

The glass-back condition includes the selected Lavender finish. No measured durability is inferred.

Pixel width and height are transcribed from the labelled display resolution rather than calculated from diagonal size.

Directly published pixel dimensions.

Megapixels, aperture and autofocus are read from TrueDepth, not copied from the rear main camera.

Front-camera optics and autofocus are read separately from the rear system.

The exact box list and explicit exclusion paragraph are used, without substituting refurbished packaging or a retailer bundle.

Actual box list; does not promise retailer bundles or a separately sold adapter.

This is the separately labelled outdoor peak, not typical or HDR brightness and not an independent measurement.

Explicit outdoor peak, separate from typical and HDR maxima; manufacturer claim.

Apple separately publishes the standard-rectangle diagonal. Rounded corners reduce actual viewable area; it does not replace nominal screen size.

Standard rectangle; rounded corners reduce actual viewable area.

Uses the advertised nominal diagonal, not actual viewable area or the standard-rectangle diagonal.

Advertised nominal diagonal, not actual viewable area.

Uses the separately labelled streamed-video duration, retaining its different workload.

Separate streamed-video up-to claim.

Each labelled dimension was checked individually, then deliberately reordered to height × width × depth. Configuration/manufacturing variation remains possible.

Individually labelled dimensions were reordered explicitly to height × width × depth.

Uses the labelled height in millimetres; neither the source width nor its inch value is substituted.

Labelled height in millimetres.

Uses the labelled depth as chassis thickness, without inventing camera-bump depth.

Labelled depth; camera-bump dimensions are not invented.

Apple lists device grams, not parcel mass or the weight of accessories. Size and weight can vary with configuration and manufacture.

Device mass, not shipping mass; configuration and manufacture can vary.

Uses the labelled chassis width. A larger value is not inherently preferable.

Labelled width; larger is not inherently preferable.

The UK specification identifies A3287, with physical nano-SIM and eSIM. This model identity does not establish retailer stock or network-provider support.

UK technical and regional model sections agree. A model identity is not a retailer-availability or carrier-support guarantee.

The model index identifies the separate US A3081 and explicitly says there is no US SIM tray. The US SIM section excludes physical SIM cards; US facts are not substituted into UK data.

The model index explicitly identifies the US model and its lack of a SIM tray. UK battery and mass claims are not relabelled US.

Front auto image stabilisation is listed without an optical mechanism. It does not establish front optical stabilisation.

Ultra-stabilised video and auto image stabilisation do not establish an optical mechanism.

The source describes a lithium-ion battery and endurance claims without stating mAh. Capacity is not reverse-calculated from playback.

Lithium-ion construction is listed without mAh. Playback duration does not establish capacity.

20W and30W describe adapter/test setups, not a published maximum handset input. The device-input field stays unknown.

40 W is the adapter requirement in a charge-time test; it is not published maximum handset input.

The checked exact-model source omits a numeric refresh maximum. It remains unknown rather than being filled with an assumed 60Hz.

Adaptive ProMotion up to 120 Hz; not a constant refresh rate or measured response performance.

Neither storage capacity nor processor-core counts establish RAM capacity. No third-party estimate is substituted.

The manufacturer does not publish RAM capacity in this specification.

The checked source lists iOS without a model-specific support end date or guaranteed future upgrade count. This is a disclosed gap, not a support-duration score.

The retained page names iOS 26 but does not promise a future upgrade count or support end date.

Not verified for this exact model.

Not verified for this exact model.

No source recorded for this side.

Expressly named in the exact model specification.

No source recorded for this side.

Named support in both inventories; not an audio-quality score.

Uses the separately labelled audio duration; it is not video or mixed-use endurance.

No audio-duration maximum is given in the checked power section.

The checked iPhone16 specification does not identify the cellular modem. The Ultra Wideband chip is a separate component, and no third-party modem estimate is substituted.

The mobile section names N1 and UWB, but does not identify the cellular modem.

No source recorded for this side.

Simultaneous capture maximum remains separate from ordinary single-camera 4K.

No source recorded for this side.

These named capabilities are listed for the five-core GPU. No benchmark result is inferred.

The checked recording list does not establish a named log capture format. No negative or pro-workflow score is manufactured.

No named log-capture format is established by this inventory.

The checked rear recording list does not establish ProRes. Omission alone is not proof that all app or external workflows are impossible.

The checked rear recording list does not establish ProRes; omission is not an absolute negative for every external/app workflow.

The checked charging/connector inventories do not establish reverse wireless charging. USB-C accessory charging is a different capability; missing confirmation is not a verified negative.

The checked charging inventory does not establish reverse wireless support. USB-C accessory power is different.

An omitted8K mode is not an explicit non-support statement. No negative capability is fabricated.

Omission of 8K is not an explicit non-support statement.

No source recorded for this side.

N1 is explicitly a networking chip, not an identified cellular modem.

The heading does not specify the installed version. Storage and AI footnotes mentioning later versions do not change it into a launch-version claim.

This is the technical page wording, not a claim that iOS 26 is currently the newest compatible release. The later AI footnote separately mentions iOS 27.
