The iPhone 16 will start arriving to consumers on September 20, but some lucky people have received the product early.
This is not too surprising because like every year, some celebrities will receive incentives from Apple when providing the latest iPhone before the product is released as a way to "advertise" this product early. One of such lucky people is leak expert Majin Bu when he just shared a video of unboxing the first iPhone 16 Pro model.
In the video, Majin Bu also gives us a look at how Camera Control works in practice. This new button is more than just a two-step shutter button, it has multiple sensors that make it extremely versatile.

Although the video is quite short, it still gives us a pretty complete look at the extremely simple box, which only contains the phone, a USB cable, and some paper. As for the other things, Apple removed them for environmental reasons, but many people think that it is just a way for the company to save on production costs.
The iPhone 16 Pro launches with iOS 18 and will get the first batch of Apple Intelligence features after updating to iOS 18.1, a free over-the-air software update in October.

Design
The overall design of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro is quite similar with flat edges and a square triple camera cluster. However, the iPhone 16 Pro has a larger screen - 6.3 inches while the iPhone 13 Pro only has a 6.1-inch screen. The bezels around the iPhone 16 Pro's screen are also thinner, creating a modern look for the device.

Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro is crafted from titanium, making it significantly lighter than the iPhone 13 Pro - which has a stainless steel frame.

Another notable improvement of the new iPhone Pro model is that the minimum brightness has been lowered to just 1 nit, making it easier for users to view content at night. However, the maximum brightness of the device remains the same as the iPhone 13 Pro - around 1,000 nits.
