5 Main Comparison Features of iPhone 16 Models: Which One Fits Your Budget in the Philippines

If you're thinking about upgrading your device to the latest iPhone 16, you're in the right place. Whether you're eyeing the iPhone 16 Plus, the standard model, or the powerful Pro variants, knowing the key differences, price range, and features can help you make a smart buying decision—especially if you’re exploring affordable options like second-hand iPhone 16 units.

In this guide, we break down the top five comparison features to consider and help you discover the best iPhone 16 second-hand deals in the Philippines from trusted sources like CompAsia.

1. Display Sizes: Find the Right Fit for Your Lifestyle

The iPhone 16 series comes in a variety of screen sizes to match different usage needs:

• iPhone 16 – 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display

• iPhone 16 Plus – 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display

• iPhone 16 Pro – 6.1-inch ProMotion display with Always-On

• iPhone 16 Pro Max – 6.7-inch ProMotion with peak HDR brightness
  
  

If you love big screens for streaming and multitasking, the iPhone 16 Plus or Pro Max might be your best bet. On the other hand, the standard iPhone 16 is ideal for everyday use and portability.

2. Battery Life & Usage Time

Battery capacity varies slightly across the models, but refurbished models come with at least 80% battery health, as guaranteed by CompAsia’s 32-step quality check.

• iPhone 16 Pro Max leads with all-day battery life (up to 29 hours video playback)

• iPhone 16 Plus closely follows (up to 26 hours)

• Standard iPhone 16 offers around 20 hours

Pro Tip: If you’re getting a second-hand iPhone 16, check battery health via Settings → Battery → Battery Health after your purchase.

3. Camera System & Photography

If photography is a top priority, here's how the models differ:

• iPhone 16/16 Plus: Dual-camera system (Wide + Ultra Wide), Night mode, Cinematic Mode

• iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max: Triple-camera system (Telephoto included), ProRAW and ProRes, LiDAR scanner for low light

For casual users, the iPhone 16’s camera is more than enough. But if you're into content creation or professional photography, the Pro Max is worth the higher price tag.
