The dust is still settling from Apple\u2019s latest iPhone event<\/a>, which introduced us to the Apple Watch Series 10<\/a>, a new set of AirPods<\/a>, and a suite of smartphones that are due to arrive later this month. And while we\u2019ve only had some initial hands-on time with the new iPhone 16 models, preorders officially open up tomorrow, September 13th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apple\u2019s latest phones\u00a0\u2014 specifically the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max \u2014 are set to arrive on September 20th. They introduce new processors and a slick new Camera Control button, but none of them look to be a drastic overhaul of last year\u2019s iPhone 15 series. That being said, perhaps things will get interesting when Apple Intelligence comes to the new models with the release of iOS 18.1 beta in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We\u2019re currently putting the new iPhones through their paces; however, we know some of you are the early adopter types who can\u2019t wait to get ahold of the latest thing. (We\u2019re guilty of this, too, so no judgment here.) To help, we\u2019ve put together a little guidance on what you\u2019re getting with each new iPhone 16 model, as well as which retailers are currently offering preorder incentives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Where to preorder the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

The best term I\u2019d use to describe the base iPhone 16 and 16 Plus<\/a> is \u201ctrickle-down.\u201d Many of their best features are taken from last year\u2019s Pro line, including the Action Button, a short-telephoto 2x crop mode, and an autofocusing ultra-wide camera with macro mode. Some other features are in parity (or close to parity) with the pricier iPhone 16 Pro, like the new Camera Control button and Apple\u2019s new A18 chip \u2014 though, the Pros get the fancier A18 Pro. However, one sticking point for some may be that the standard iPhone 16 doesn\u2019t inherit the 120Hz refresh rate found on the Pros, as it\u2019s still running at a middling 60Hz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Refresh rate aside, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus might be some of the most well-rounded mainline iPhones<\/a> in a while \u2014 if not the most vibrant \u2014 and that\u2019s without the forthcoming, much-hyped Apple Intelligence features. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus start at $799 and $899, respectively, and are set to launch on September 20th, with preorders opening at 8AM ET \/ 5AM PT on September 13th. We expect Best Buy and other retailers to open preorders around the same time as Apple, but if you\u2019re looking to save time, Apple<\/a> is currently letting you pick your phone and get part of the process done ahead of time \u2014 a sort of pre-preorder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
