FAQ

The most common questions about this product

What the numbers on the spec sheet actually mean in day-to-day use.

Should you buy the iPhone 16 Plus?
The Kacbu decision box currently says WAIT for the iPhone 16 Plus: either the model has been on the market long enough that a successor may be near, or owner data is weak. The reasons are in the decision box at the top of this page.
Who is the 16 Plus for?
People who want maximum screen and battery per dollar and do not care about 120Hz or zoom. Its rated 27 hours of video matches phones that cost hundreds more, and at 199 grams it undercuts every Pro Max on weight.
Why not spend up to a Pro Max instead?
A Pro Max adds ProMotion, a periscope telephoto, a faster chip and better sustained performance. If those matter, the gap is worth it; if your phone is mostly messaging, video and photos at 1x, the Plus delivers the same screen size and battery endurance for far less.
Is the battery really that good?
The 4,674 mAh cell behind an efficient 60Hz panel is the whole story: Apple's own 27-hour video rating is the highest of the non-Pro lineup of its generation, and in mixed daily use it is a comfortable day and a half.
iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus?
Identical internals; the Plus buys a 6.7-inch display and rated playback of 27 hours against 22, at the cost of size and 29 extra grams. Pick by hand size and how much you value screen area.
