If two phones share the best value, both score; if all three are equal, nobody scores. • Rounds marked "no point" (dates, sizes, materials, chip names…) are information only. • Specs checked on 6 October 2026: Apple's official tech specs (US models) and GSMArena. • Battery capacity, RAM, benchmarks, battery and speaker tests: GSMArena – Apple does not publish them. Battery capacity is for the eSIM-only models. • Drop test, energy class and endurance hours come from the EU energy label. • Prices: US launch prices. The iPhone 16 Pro started at 128 GB, so there are two price rounds: base model and 256 GB. • Product images: Apple. 🎵 MUSIC "Digital Lemonade" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
