Smart Communications recently celebrated the midnight launch of the iPhone 16 Series at their SM Megamall store in Mandaluyong City. At the event, celebrities Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras joined in to hype up the crowd and soak in the festivities.
Paras expressed enthusiasm for the new iPhone’s enhanced photography capabilities. “I love taking pictures, so I decided to see how clear and how improved the camera is,” he shared. The latest iPhone boasts advanced features including Photographic Styles, Camera Control, and Zero Shutter Lag.
Alcantara highlighted the device’s improved battery performance. “I always forget to charge my phone so having a long battery life will be helpful for me,” the actress noted. Apple claims the iPhone 16 models can reach 50 percent charge in under 30 minutes.
