iPhone 16 uses more recycled metals than ever:
over 95% recycled lithium in the battery. 100% recycled gold in the plating of the USB-C connector and camera wires. 100% recycled copper foil in the MagSafe inductive charger.
The packaging for iPhone 16 is 100% fiber based for the first time. And it’s thinner, which reduces the carbon impact for shipping.
Privacy
The new Passwords app makes it even easier to access account passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, two-factor authentication codes, and more. It stores them securely and syncs across your devices with end-to-end encryption.
You can also control which contacts to share with an app, rather than giving it access to all your contacts. And you can choose to share more contacts over time.
Apple Intelligence protects your privacy at every step. With on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, no one but you can access your data — not even Apple
Accessibility
Eye Tracking makes it possible to navigate your iPhone and use your favorite apps just by moving your eyes, thanks to the power of machine learning and the front-facing camera.
Music Haptics matches the iPhone Taptic Engine with the rhythm of songs. So people who are deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the Apple Music catalog in a whole new way.
Vocal Shortcuts helps people with severe atypical speech record sounds that trigger specific actions on iPhone — set a timer, take a screenshot, scroll up and down, and more.
