This update of EveryMac.com features complete details and benchmarks for the iPhone 16 lineup, additional specs and identifiers for the Apple Watch Series 10, and a comprehensive update to the iPhone Q&A to not only completely cover this year's models, but also to help you get more out of older ones. EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated, too.

The iPhone Q&A answers "What are the major differences between the iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16? Aren’t these models basically the same?" and "How can you add external storage to the iPhone? Which iPhone models are compatible with which types of storage?" and more than 100 other questions about new and old iPhone models alike.

EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contribute info. It's appreciated always.

If you bought, or buy, a new iPhone, please get in touch and send in its identifiers. Non-personal information can be added to EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you.

For those interested in saving money, site sponsor OWC has a diverse selection of used and refurbished iPhones available, including current and just discontinued models, but only while supplies last.
