The iPhone 16 family has much bigger batteries than its predecessor, with the iPhone 16 Pro growing by almost 10% versus the iPhone 15 Pro.

While there’s no doubt that the pricier Pro models of the iPhone 16 series are better, with improved and larger displays, a third camera, that gorgeous titanium build and more, this year’s iPhone has a lot in common with the Pro. To the extent that for many people, the Pro adds bells and whistles they can manage without.

It's not about one big feature, but how new elements like the Camera Control button and last year's Dynamic Island come together.

Anyone can install the new public beta, but you'll need an iPhone 15 Pro or a new iPhone 16 model to run Apple Intelligence.

Now you can get a glimpse of Apple Intelligence, but as always keep your wits about what you're getting into with beta software.

The iOS 18.1 public beta comes a day after Apple released a new testing version of the developer’s beta. In addition to iOS 18.1, Apple is also making available the public beta of macOS Sequoia 15.1 and iPadOS 18.
