The big event in the world of technology has come to an end - Apple has held its annual presentation. And now we know everything about the new iPhones.

Both models are equipped with Dynamic Island, as well as an action button and a camera control button. Both the regular iPhone 16 and Pro support USB-C charging. However, neither has a fingerprint scanner, so you will need to use Face ID or a password.
