It does not support FDD-5G NR bands n14 or n29, TDD-5G NR band n71, or any 5G NR mmWave bands (n258, n260, n261). This model is designed for carriers nearly everywhere—sold in at least 186 countries and territories—but is not available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, China, and a few other nations. It is, however, technically compatible with carriers worldwide and supports both eSIM and a physical nano-SIM card.


All iPhone 16 Pro models feature an "Always On," haptic-touch enabled 6.3-inch (diagonal) "Super Retina XDR" display with ProMotion (2622x1206, 460 ppi, 120Hz refresh rates) that covers nearly the entire front of the device. It has four cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "Dynamic Island," supports Face ID, has an f/1.9 aperture, captures 12-megapixel photos, and shoots 4K Dolby Vision video. The rear features a 4K-capable "pro camera system" with a 48-megapixel "Fusion" camera (24 mm, f/1.78 aperture) that also provides 12-megapixel 2x Telephoto (52 mm, f/1.6 aperture) capabilities, along with separate 48-megapixel "Ultra Wide" (13 mm, f/2.2 aperture) and 12-megapixel 5x "Telephoto" (120 mm, f/2.8 aperture) cameras.


The iPhone 16 Pro has a "Titanium" case with flat sides and an aluminum "internal structural frame," with a glass front and back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, and the back includes an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to a maximum depth of 6 meters for 30 minutes). It comes in four subdued "Titanium" color options: "Desert" (Beige-Gold), Natural (Gray), White, and Black.


Internally, the iPhone 16 Pro is powered by a 4.0 GHz Apple A18 Pro processor with a six-core CPU (two performance and four efficiency cores), a 6-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and is available with 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11be Wi-Fi 7 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, "second generation" Ultra Wideband, NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for compatible transit systems, Thread networking, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance via satellite, a USB-C port (with USB 3 support), a new "Camera Control" button (in addition to a hardware "Action" button), and support for Apple Intelligence AI features.


Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 16 Pro are up to 85 hours of audio playback, 27 hours of video playback, and 22 hours of streamed video playback.


While pricing varies by country, in the UK, this specific iPhone 16 Pro costs £999, £1099, £1299, and £1499 for the 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB storage options. It is also available on a two-year financed contract starting at £41.62, £45.79, £54.12, and £62.45 per month, respectively.
