iOS 16 will support the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and newer models. Even so, not all
functions will be available to older iPhones. With that in mind, 9to5Mac
gathered all the features that will require at least an iPhone XR and iPhone
XS, when this upcoming operating system is available to all users a month from
now.
Some features will only be available to iPhones with the A12 Bionic chip or
newer, which are:
iPhone XR
iPhone XS
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone SE (2nd gen)
iPhone 12
iPhone 12 Pro
iPhone 13
iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone SE (3rd gen).
Here are all the features coming to only a few iPhones with iOS 16 later this
fall:
Live Text in videos: Text is now completely interactive in paused video frames,
so you can use functions like copy and paste, lookup, and Translate. This
feature works in Photos, Quick Look, Safari, and other apps.
Quick actions in Live Text: Data detected in photos and videos is actionable
with a single tap. Track flights or shipments, translate foreign languages, and
convert currencies.
New languages for Live Text: With iOS 16, Live Text recognizes Japanese,
Korean, and Ukrainian text.
Emoji in texts: You can insert emoji when sending messages with Siri. Itâs
available in Cantonese (Hong Kong), English (Australia, Canada, India, UK, US),
French (France), German (Germany), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin Chinese (China
mainland, Taiwan), and Spanish (Mexico, Spain, US).
Discover Siri capabilities and apps: Open an app and ask, âHey Siri, what can
I do here?â or you can inquire about a specific app by saying, for example,
âHey Siri, what can I do with iRobot?â This feature is available in German
(Germany), English (Australia, Canada, India, UK, US), Spanish (Mexico, Spain,
U.S.), French (France), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin Chinese (China mainland),
and Cantonese (Hong Kong).
All-new Dictation experience: You can move fluidly between voice and touch in
iOS 16. Type with the keyboard, tap in the text field, move the cursor, and
insert QuickType suggestions, all without needing to stop Dictation.
Add medications using your iPhone camera: You can quickly add medications by
using your iPhone XR/XS camera in iOS 16. Simply position the medication label
in the frame and youâll see results for medication name, strength, and form.
Image search in more apps: With iOS 16, Spotlight uses information from images
in Messages, Notes, and Files to enable searching by locations, people, scenes,
or even things in the images, like text, a dog, etc.
Visual Look Up improvements: Lift the subject from an image or isolate the
subject by removing the background. This works in Photos, Screenshot, Quick
Look, Safari, and more.
New domains for Visual Look Up: Visual Look Up adds recognition of birds,
insects, and statues.
Astronomy wallpaper: With iOS 16 beta 2, Apple made available the Astronomy
wallpapers for iPhone XR and iPhone XS users.
Previously, it would only work with A13 compatible devices.
iOS 16 features for iPhone 11 and later
Live Captions: Transcriptions are generated automatically in real-time for
users who are deaf or hard of hearing so they can follow along more easily with
conversations, audio, and video. Requires an iPhone 11, iPad with A12 Bionic
chip, or Mac with Apple silicon. Only available in English (Canada, US).
iOS 16 features exclusive to iPhone 13 models
iPhone 13 models also have exclusive features with iOS 16. Here they are:
Foreground blur in portrait photos: Portrait mode lets you blur objects in the
foreground of a photo for a more realisticâlooking depthâofâfield effect.
Improved quality when recording in Cinematic mode: When recording videos in
Cinematic mode on iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, the depthâofâfield effect is
more accurate for profile angles and around the edges of hair and glasses.
iPhones that support new battery icon with iOS 16
While some of the features require a specific iPhone due to the processor
capabilities, Apple has added a new battery icon with iOS 16 beta 5. Just a few
devices will get this new feature:
⢠iPhone 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max
⢠iPhone 12,
12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max
⢠iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max
⢠iPhone XS and XS Max
⢠iPhone X
Wrap-up
These are all the features exclusive to newer iPhone models. As you can see,
many of them work for iPhone XR and iPhone XS users, while just a few camera
improvements are exclusive to iPhone 13 users.
iOS 16 launches later this fall.
