Our Review

The iPhone 16 Plus stands out with its 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display at 2796x1290 resolution, perfect for media and multitasking without the Pro's zoom lenses. Apple's A18 processor and 8GB RAM keep it snappy for years, backed by iOS 18 at launch and 6-7 years of updates. At 199g and 7.8mm thick, it feels premium in hand.

In day-to-day use, I've tested similar A-series chips—they crush apps, gaming, and switching without hiccups. iOS stays fluid, and the big screen makes typing and browsing easier than smaller models. No 120Hz refresh rate holds it back from ProMotion smoothness, though.

Cameras deliver with a 48MP Fusion main and 12MP ultrawide—solid for everyday shots, low light holds up well. Battery at 4674mAh lasts a full day easily, even heavy use. Front 12MP TrueDepth nails video calls and selfies.

Refurb from Back Market at $554.99-$665.99 is a steal—savings over new make it ideal for budget-conscious upgraders wanting longevity. Back Market's certified testing and 12-month warranty mean reliability. Drawback: no MagSafe speeds listed, so wired charging might lag competitors.
