iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus

Today Apple announced the $799 6.1-inch iPhone 16 and the $899 6.7-inch iPhone 16 Plus.  Both start with 128gb of storage.  The main new feature, besides an allegedly 30% faster processor, is the Camera Control capability on the side of the devices.  Also featured is improved AI and Wi-Fi 7 support.  Well we’re not wowed by these phones, they are a solid incremental upgrade from Apple and as is often the case, you shouldn’t be disappointed by either.
