Apple's

iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max was released on Friday, September 20, 2024. At the new product launch event ' It's Glowtime ' on September 10, 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro, which supports Apple's proprietary AI function 'Apple Intelligence' and boasts improved camera performance such as 5x optical zoom, 48MP macro photography, and spatial photography, has finally arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department, so first we checked its appearance by comparing it with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 .

The iPhone 16 Pro box looks like this.

The phone I purchased this time was the 128GB model of the iPhone 16 Pro, in Desert Titanium color.

The back is textured matte glass, which feels smooth to the touch. The dimensions of the device are 149.6mm high x 71.5mm wide.

There are three cameras: telephoto, wide-angle, and ultra-wide-angle.

The display is a 6.3-inch all-screen OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display with a resolution of 2622 x 1206 pixels.

The right side houses the side buttons and

camera controls , and is 8.25mm thick.

The camera controls are buttons with built-in pressure sensors and haptic vibration, and unlike the side buttons that protrude slightly from the sides, they are flush with the sides.

On the left side are the SIM tray, volume up/down buttons, and action button.

On the bottom there is a speaker grill and a USB-C port. The iPhone 16 Pro's USB-C port supports USB 3 and can transfer data at up to 10 Gbps.

The actual weight was 198g.

The box contained a USB-C cable and a pin for the SIM tray, but it didn't include the familiar Apple logo sticker or 'Designed by Apple in California' message that accompanies Apple devices.

From left to right, the previous models, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Pro, are lined up. The iPhone 16 had two cameras arranged vertically, but the iPhone 16 Pro's camera design is the same as the previous iPhone 15 Pro.

Below is a comparison of the front side by side. The iPhone 15 Pro is 146.6mm high x 70.6mm wide, the iPhone 16 is 147.6mm high x 71.6mm wide, and the iPhone 16 Pro is 149.6mm high x 71.5mm wide, which is a slight difference, but the iPhone 16 Pro is the largest in size. The iPhone 15 Pro weighs 187g and the 1Phone 16 weighs 170g, so the iPhone 16 Pro, which weighs 198g, is the heaviest. However, when you actually hold it in your hand, the iPhone 16 Pro feels a little heavier than the iPhone 16, but there is almost no difference between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro.

Compared to the iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 16 Pro is 3.0mm taller and 0.9mm wider, and the bezels are thinner, resulting in a larger front display size from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches. When measuring the bezels of the iPhone 15 Pro, the actual measurement was about 2.0 mm.

On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro has a bezel of about 1.5 mm. In other words, taking into account the bezel width, the front display size is about 4.0 mm taller and 1.9 mm wider.

The actual bezel of the iPhone 16 was measured at just under 2.5mm.
