Compatibility

- Accessories: It supports standard Lightning port accessories (if still present on iPhone 16 - *Info needed: confirm port type*) and a wide range of Bluetooth devices. Ensure accessories are MFi (Made for iPhone) certified for best compatibility.
- Software: Running on iOS, the device is compatible with millions of apps available on the App Store, continuously updated for performance and security.
Product Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water if necessary, to clean the screen and exterior. Avoid abrasive materials, solvents, or aerosol sprays. Always power off the device before cleaning.
- Protection: Consider using a screen protector and a protective case to guard against scratches, drops, and impacts, especially given the sleek White finish.
- Software Updates: Regularly update iOS to the latest version. These updates often include security patches, performance improvements, and new features.
- Storage Management: With 128 GB storage, periodically review your stored data. Delete unnecessary apps, photos, or videos, or offload them to cloud storage or a computer to maintain optimal performance.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your iPhone to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) as this can affect battery life and internal components. Optimal operating temperatures are typically between 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F).
