The standard iPhone 16 brings USB-C to Apple’s mainstream lineup with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display and the A18 chip. Data speeds are capped at USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) — a frustrating bottleneck when transferring large 48MP photos or 4K video. Despite the slow data speed, the USB-C port does support native DisplayPort output up to 4K HDR for connecting to external displays. Fast charging reaches 50% in about 30 minutes with a 20W+ USB-C power adapter.
