Apple has officially launched its iPhone 16 series, with models including the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, now available in stores worldwide. The new lineup features significant hardware upgrades, such as the A18 chip, enhanced camera systems, and new AI capabilities, although the highly anticipated Apple Intelligence AI features will not be fully available until 2025. Initial reviews highlight the iPhone 16 Pro's advanced camera control and the 48MP Ultra Wide Camera. Professional photographer Austin Mann praised the camera's performance during testing in Kenya. Despite the absence of some AI features, the launch has generated significant consumer interest, with long queues forming at Apple Stores globally. Apple CEO Tim Cook greeted customers at the Fifth Avenue store to kick off the sales, and the Apple Intelligence public beta is now live.
