Subscribers of Smart Communications were able to “unbox the future” during the midnight launch of the new Apple iPhone 16 series, held recently at the Smart Store in SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.

The event was graced by actress Kyline Alcantara and basketball player Kobe Paras.

The basketball star was particularly excited to try the iPhone 16’s new camera settings. “I love taking pictures, so I decided to see how clear and how improved the camera is,” he shared. The new flagship iPhones can now capture more moments than its predecessors because of its advanced Photographic Styles, Camera Control, and Zero Shutter Lag.

Kyline, meanwhile, is a fan of iPhone 16 series’ battery life.

“I always forget to charge my phone, so having a long battery life will be helpful for me,” the actress said. According to Apple, each iPhone 16 model will charge to around 50% in just under 30 minutes.
