This time too, Apple has retained its attractive colour options in the Pro models. You can choose from four colour options namely Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium and the all new Desert Titanium. These colours come in a matte finish that not only gives you a stunning look but also protects you from fingerprints and smudges.

4- MagSafe and UWB

One of the biggest features that every user is expecting from their high-end iPhone is MagSafe support. The iPhone 16 Pro also comes with MagSafe support, which lets you charge your iPhone wirelessly and attach it to your compatible accessories like its cable wallets and stands, which work magnetically. This gives you a very immersive experience and also provides a great connection to the new device that comes with the MagSafe ecosystem.
