  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

The Chip section explicitly lists this A18 configuration. Its five GPU cores must remain distinguishable from the four-core A18 in 16e; this is not a measured speed claim.

iPhone 16

The rear 4K Dolby Vision list tops out at 60 fps. This is separate from Cinematic, Action and front-camera modes.

iPhone Duo

100 and 120 fps are Fusion Main only. Manufacturer recording-mode claim; not an independent quality or sustained-recording test.

Apple UK iPhone Duo technical specifications

Keep rear and front camera capabilities separate. A recording mode, autofocus or stabilisation feature can matter for your use; it does not establish independently tested image quality.

Sources
iPhone 16

Apple states up to 50% in around 30 minutes with an adapter rated at 20 W or higher and a USB-C cable. This is not full-charge time or a sustained charging rate.

Apple claim with a separately sold 60W-capable adapter.

The source names two physical cameras. Its enabled 12MP 2x Telephoto mode uses the Fusion main camera, rather than creating a third physical module.

UWB is Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. These capabilities belong to UK A3287. Wi-Fi7/UWB availability and network/provider support remain region-dependent; no measured throughput is asserted.
