The latest iPhone, the iPhone 16 series, brings a significant design element—USB-C connectivity. It also offers several new safety features, such as roadside assistance via satellite.

What’s the Newest iPhone?

The newest iPhone isn’t one phone. It’s a family of four phones: the iPhone 16 series.

Apple started releasing multiple variations of the iPhone, starting with the iPhone XS and XR series, which were released in 2018. Since then, each new iPhone generation has included multiple models. The iPhone 16 series consists of:

• iPhone 16: The least expensive model has the smallest screen (6.1 inches), an A18 processor with a 5-core GPU, a 48-megapixel primary camera, and Action button.
• iPhone 16 Plus: The Plus is identical to the base model in most ways, except for its 6.7-inch screen and higher price.
• iPhone 16 Pro: The Pro features a 6.3-inch screen, a 48-megapixel camera, the A18 Pro chip with a 6-core GPU, and a titanium design.
• iPhone 16 Pro Max: The Pro Max matches the Pro except for its 6.9-inch screen, bigger battery, and more optical zoom options on its camera.

While the iPhone 16 series is Apple’s newest iPhone, earlier models—the iPhone 15 series, iPhone 14, and iPhone SE (2022)—are all still available.

Apple is on a roll. iPhone 16 series along with new AirPods and Apple Watches were released a few weeks ago. Then they silently refreshed the iPad Mini 7. iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.2 were released in developer beta with the latter bringing a bunch of much anticipated AI (Apple Intelligence) features. And now, Greg Joswiak, Apple’s head of SVP, has confirmed on X (Twitter) that Apple will be launching new M4 MacBooks next week.

Mac your calendars! We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting on Monday morning.
