The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus both charge and sync through one USB-C port limited to USB 2.0 — 480 Mbps — while the 10 Gbps link stays a Pro feature. That port still outputs 4K HDR video over DisplayPort Alt Mode, and MagSafe charging goes up to 25W on this generation. The two models differ in screen size and battery only.
Apple’s 2024 standard iPhones in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes, with the A18 chip and a USB-C port at USB 2.0 speeds.
