iPhone FAQs
How much internal storage does each iPhone have?
It depends on the iPhone you choose as to how much storage there is available, but options start at 64GB and go up to 1TB if you consider the entire range.
The iPhone SE is the only model to have 64GB, and it only goes up to 256GB. The standard iPhone models – 14, 15 and 16s – all come in 128GB, 256GB or 512GB options. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro come in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max come in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB options.
What are the main differences between the iPhone SE, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Pro Max?
There are differences in designs, camera offerings, processors and features across the iPhone SE, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models. The main differences are the Pro models have titanium builds over aluminium and have three camera lenses on the rear.
The iPhone SE has the old design with a home button at the bottom of the screen, while the iPhone 14 has a notch at the top of the display. The iPhone 15 models moved to the Dynamic Island design and upgraded the camera, while the iPhone 16 models support Apple Intelligence and add the Camera Control button and Action Button. That’s it in a nutshell, but Apple’s comparison website lets you scan through each difference between any iPhone model.

What are the new features on the latest iPhone?
The latest iPhone 16 models add a Camera Control button on the right edge for controlling the cameras and their tools, which is the biggest physical difference of note, though the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max also have slimmer bezels around the screens and larger displays. All models also have the Action Button in place of the silent toggle on the left edge.
There are also improved cameras, improved batteries, more advanced processors and improved charging speeds across all four models, as well as better microphones and a feature called Audio Mix for editing audio on videos. The iPhone 16 Pro models also introduce the ability to record 4K 120fps video. All four models run on iOS 18 and they will all support Apple Intelligence when it arrives in the UK supporting UK English in December.
Is the new iPhone compatible with other Apple products?
Yes, all the new iPhones are compatible with other Apple products. They work brilliantly with Apple Watch and AirPods for example, but there are also a range of features that make for a seamless experience between iPhone and MacBook. My favourite is the ability to copy on your MacBook and paste directly on your iPhone thanks to a feature called Continuity, but you can also use your iPhone to immediately scan documents you’re attaching to an email on your MacBook for example, take calls or answer messages. With iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, you will also be able to use iPhone Screen Mirroring, allowing you to completely control your iPhone from your Mac so long as your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network and within Bluetooth range.
What is Apple Intelligence and what iPhones is it available on?
Apple Intelligence is Apple’s take on artificial intelligence, like Google’s Gemini that is built into its latest Pixel phones and Samsung’s Galaxy AI that you’ll find baked into its more recent smartwatches and phones. When it was announced, Apple CEO, Tim Cook said: “Apple Intelligence will transform what users can do with our products — and what our products can do for our users. Our unique approach combines generative AI with a user’s personal context to deliver truly helpful intelligence.”
It will be integrated into the systems of iPhone, iPad and Mac, and it includes features like a more personalised Siri that you can type to ask, Clean Up in photos to remove things like a bin or car from your shot, and Priority Messages in Mail that filters out important emails. Apple Intelligence will also offer Writing Tools across a range of apps, Priority Notifications to filter out important notifications and things like Live Transcription for calls.
You’ll need an iPhone 16. iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max to get access to Apple Intelligence when it arrives.
