One is the next-gen update and the other, iOS 17.7, is for those who want to keep their iPhones safe but would rather wait to roll out the first version of a new release.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It depends. While the iPhone 16 lineup — which includes the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max — got unveiled with a handful of new features, the question is, do they benefit you?

The latest iPhone 16 improves on last year's model by introducing AI features and a series of hardware changes, but should you take the leap?

Enough to make you feel you have a brand-new iPhone. Note, though, that one of the biggest things in iOS 18 is the introduction of Apple Intelligence, though it won’t be available in this release. When it arrives, it will be for iPhone 16 series, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max handsets only.
