Apple iPhone 16 Pro vs HONOR 400

Our Verdict: Start with what changes day to day: HONOR 400 gives you the larger 6.55" screen, a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera, and the stronger 50MP front camera. Apple iPhone 16 Pro still has a case, helped by IP68 water resistance. The battery comparison is a capacity clue rather than a guaranteed battery-life result. The SIM-free row also leans toward HONOR 400: £230 versus about £370 more for Apple iPhone 16 Pro. HONOR 400 gets the nod overall, but Apple iPhone 16 Pro remains credible when its trade-offs suit your budget or preferences.

Over a full contract, the HONOR 400 works out around £373 all-in, about £551 less than the Apple iPhone 16 Pro.
