What CompareTab says about Apple iPhone 16 vs ASUS ROG Phone 9
ASUS ROG Phone 9 has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over iPhone 16, with 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 128 GB, a 5800 mAh battery versus 3561 mAh, and a 185 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution front camera (32 MP versus 12 MP), a telephoto rear camera, and 65W charging. Apple iPhone 16, however, is around $200 cheaper, lighter at 170 g versus 227 g, and thinner at 7.8 mm versus 8.9 mm. The main trade-off is ROG Phone 9’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus iPhone 16’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
