Buy glass listed for the iPhone 16 (6.1-inch) or 16 Plus (6.7-inch). Many products name the iPhone 15 / 15 Plus too, which is fine, because Apple kept the same outer dimensions. The side Camera Control button isn't affected by a front protector.
Which glass fits
| Model | Display | Also fits | Doesn't fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 16 | 6.1-inch | iPhone 15 glass, when listed for both | No 16 Pro glass (6.3-inch) |
| iPhone 16 Plus | 6.7-inch | iPhone 15 Plus glass, when listed for both | No 16 Pro Max glass (6.9-inch) |
Apple's published dimensions for the iPhone 16 (147.6 × 71.6 × 7.80 mm) match the iPhone 15, and the 16 Plus matches the 15 Plus. That's why protector makers commonly sell one product for both generations. If you're upgrading from a 15, your spare protectors will very likely fit. Check the maker's model list if you want a returns route.
Camera Control
The iPhone 16 range added Camera Control, a pressure- and touch-sensitive button on the right-hand side. It isn't on the front, so no screen protector covers it. If it feels unresponsive after you've changed accessories, the case is the likely cause, not the protector.
Standard vs Pro: the common mistake
The iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch screen and the 16 Pro Max a 6.9-inch, both larger than the standard models. Search results mix them, and a Pro protector on a standard 16 will overhang the edges. Look for "iPhone 16" without "Pro" in the model list. Pro owners should see the 16 Pro guide or 16 Pro Max guide.
What to buy
Questions people ask
Do iPhone 15 screen protectors fit the iPhone 16?
Usually yes. Apple lists the same outer dimensions for both, and many protectors are sold for both. Pick one that names the 16 for certainty.
Does a screen protector cover Camera Control?
No. Camera Control is a side button; front protectors don't reach it.
