iPhone 16 Plus review: Apple’s battery beast

Enlarged iPhone gains two new buttons, faster chip and better camera, while lasting a long time on a charge

Apple's iPhone 16 Plus takes the regular iPhone and adds two things: a much bigger screen and even longer battery life.

The new plus-sized model has the exact same specs, camera and multiple additional buttons as the vanilla 16, offering the big screen Apple phone experience without blowing the budget on the most expensive 16 Pro Max with its massive 6.9in display.
