  • 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.

A different chip or core configuration is a hardware change, not a measured performance uplift.

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

iPhone 16 technical specifications — UK

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.
