Youll love this no-fuss Seven Layer Salad! The perfect summer side dish that can be prepped ahead and served at all your cookouts, potlucks and BBQs!A FUN LAYERED SALADWhat is more classic than a delicious Seven Layer Salad? This is one recipe that my family has been making for years and it never gets old! Super easy to throw together on the fly and everyone loves it. Its a classic for a reason! With fresh and tasty ingredients and a mayonnaise salad dressing, you really cant go wrong with this recipe. This Seven Layer Salad is my default, go-to recipe to make on short notice for any gathering!FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Can I make this in advance? Yes! This makes a great make ahead dish. Just assemble and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day in advance. What size dish should I use? We use a trifle bowl that is 8-inches wide and 5-inches deep. You can also make this in a 913-inch baking dish as well. How small should I chop my vegetables? You dont want to chop them too small. Bite size is what were going for here. This ensures that you have evenly defined layers and that no ingredients will fall through into the others. Is this just a mayonnaise salad dressing? Traditional seven layer salad has this very basic dressing of mayonnaise and sugar. I know it doesnt seem like much but it works. You could of course get creative if youd like. You could add a packet of ranch dressing to the mayonnaise mixture. You could add in some seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Can I use a different dressing? If you prefer, you could use a store-bought dressing of your choice. I would just make sure it is a thicker, creamier dressing so the layers stay intact like ranch, blue cheese or thousand island. Should I chill this before serving? You can if youd like. Cover and place in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. You can also serve this right away after assembling. How do I store leftovers? This can be stored (covered) in the dish where it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)iceberg lettuce the traditional way of making a seven layer salad is with iceberg lettuce. Obviously you can switch this out for a different type of lettuce, like romaine or a mix of lettuces.red onion if you find red onion to be a bit too pungent, try slicing them and adding them to ice cold water. Allow it to sit in the water for about 15 minutes. This will get rid of some of those stronger flavors. Just dry them on a paper towel before adding to the salad.green peppers dont like green peppers? Just leave them out or switch with another pepper you do enjoy.hard-boiled eggs I know people have a love/hate relationship with eggs in salads so do what you like here. If you dont like them, just leave them out.Roma tomatoes I really like Roma tomatoes in this. They have such a fabulous tomato flavor but you could use any tomato you prefer.frozen peas I like frozen peas because they are a bright green color. Canned peas or not so pretty in a recipe like this although they could be used.shredded cheddar cheese you can get creative here and use other types of cheeses.bacon cook up some bacon fresh or use the real bacon pieces that you can find in the salad dressing aisle of your grocery store. For this recipe though, I really think freshly cooked bacon is the way to go.mayonnaise this is a very simple dressing. It may seem almost too simple but this is how it is traditionally made. You can jazz it up if you prefer (see my Frequently Asked Quesionts above for more ideas).granulated sugarHOW TO MAKE A SEVEN LAYER SALAD:Layer ingredients in the order listed up to the layer of peas.In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and sugar until combined and the sugar is dissolved.Spread in an even layer on top of the peas.Sprinkle the top evenly with cheddar cheese then the bacon.Then dig in and enjoy!CRAVING MORE DELICIOUS RECIPES?Italian Chopped SaladMarinated Tomato Cucumber SaladSummer Corn SaladCake Pan Cornbread SaladBrussels Sprouts Caesar SaladApplebees Oriental Chicken SaladBrussels Sprouts Caesar SaladAmish Macaroni SaladDill Pickle Pasta SaladThe Best Macaroni SaladHawaiian Macaroni SaladTuna Macaroni SaladChicken Macaroni SaladItalian Grinder Pasta SaladChicken Caesar Pasta SaladSpaghetti SaladPickled Red OnionsOriginally published: August 2022Updated and republished: May 2025 PrintSeven Layer SaladYou'll love this no-fuss Seven Layer Salad!

A year after the iPhone 15 was released, Apple revealed the iPhone 16 lineup at its It's Glowtime event. Available in four options, Cupertino revamped the standard models while taking the Pro iPhone models to the next level. A few months later, in February 2025, Apple launched a new addition to the lineup with the iPhone 16e.Our guides contain information about thelatest iPhone 17andiPhone 17 Air rumors.Release dateThe iPhone 16 lineup was revealed on September 9, 2024. Pre-orders started on September 13 and went on sale on September 20.Pre-orders for the iPhone 16e started on February 21, 2025, and it went on sale on February 28, 2025. These are the most popular iPhone models everyone's buying right now.iPhone 16e is Apple's Galaxy FE-like phoneImage source: Apple Inc.On February 19, Apple announced the iPhone 16e. While rumors expected Cupertino to launch an iPhone SE 4, the company unveiled the iPhone 16e. This new phone has an iPhone 14-like design with an Action Button. It has a less capable A18 chip with Apple Intelligence support, a single 48MP camera, Apple's proprietary 5G chip, the C1, no MagSafe capabilities, and a USB-C port.Available in black and white, it's 40% more expensive than the latest iPhone SE 3. Even though it has a few similarities with the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e lacks several features available with its siblings.Revamped design, bigger Pro iPhone modelsImage source: Apple Inc.At first, iPhone 16 models might look the same as their predecessors as they keep the Dynamic Island cutout, have the same maximum brightness of 2,000 nits, and maintain the ProMotion and Always-On display technology exclusive to the Pro models.However, while the base iPhone 16 still features 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, the iPhone 16 Pro now has 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens. In addition, Apple made the Pro's bezels thinner, giving it a more immersive look.Apple says the regular models offer back glass strengthened with an optimized dual-ion exchange process. The glass is then polished with nanocrystalline particles and etched to create a textured matte finish. A new contoured edge on the aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure also aims to make this iPhone feel nicer in users hands. In addition, the camera on the back of the regular iPhone models is in vertical mode instead of diagonal.Image source: Apple Inc.By adding a titanium design to the Pro models, which are the same as those used in spacecraft, Apple says it offers one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal, making this the companys lightest Pro lineup ever.Both models feature a new brush texture and contoured edges. The Pro lineup combines the strength of titanium with the toughest back glass in a smartphone and the industry-leading Ceramic Shield on the front. Using an industry-first thermo-mechanical process, the titanium bands encase a new substructure made from 100 percent recycled aluminum, bonding these two metals with strength through solid-state fusion.

Built on second-generation 3-nanometer technology to further accelerate Apple Intelligence, it features an upgraded 16-core Neural Engine optimized for large generative models. It runs ML models up to 2x faster than the A16 Bionic chip.The 6-core CPU is 30 percent faster than the A16 Bionic chip and faster than all the competition (disclaimer: the iPhone 16e has a 5-core CPU). It is also more power-efficient and can run the same workload with 30 percent less power than the A16 Bionic. The 5-core GPU is up to 40 percent faster and 35 percent more efficient than A16 Bionic. Now, with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, games on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus more accurately represent the behavior of light with up to 5x higher frame rates than with software-based ray tracing. The efficiency of A18 and the devices re-architected internal design deliver up to 30 percent higher sustained performance for gaming while ensuring Apple Intelligence runs efficiently on iPhone.For the iPhone 16e, Apple uses an A18 chip with a 4-core GPU. It shouldn't be too different from the iPhone 16's performance in real-life usage.A18 Pro specsImage source: Apple Inc.Built with second-generation 3-nanometer technology and featuring a new architecture with smaller, faster transistors, the A18 Pro delivers better efficiency than ever. The new 16-core Neural Engine is faster and more efficient than the previous generation, powering on-device performance for Apple Intelligence. A 17 percent increase in total system memory bandwidth the highest ever in iPhone enables faster experiences when using Writing Tools and Image Playground and helps deliver amazing graphics. The bandwidth increase also benefits the 6-core GPU, which is up to 20 percent faster than the previous generation, driving graphics rendering for Apple Intelligence and prettier visuals for gaming. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing gets up to 2x faster for even more realistic light sources and reflections. A new 6-core CPU is the fastest in a smartphone, with two performance cores and four efficiency cores that can run the same workload as the previous generation 15 percent faster while using 20 percent less power. Next-generation ML accelerators are optimized for Apple Intelligence and save power by handling high-efficiency, high-throughput, and low-latency computations on the CPU without engaging the Neural Engine.iPhone 16 storage capacity revealedThese are the storage capacities for all five new models:Regular iPhones128GB256GB512GBiPhone 16e128GB256GB512GBiPhone 16 Pro models128GB (exclusive to the smaller Pro)256GB512GB1 TBCameras: From iPhone 16 to iPhone 16 Pro MaxImage source: Apple Inc.The regular iPhone 16 models have a new 48MP Fusion camera that enables a 2x optical-quality Telephoto option, so users can get closer to the subject to easily frame a photo. In addition to wide-angle shots, the new 12MP Ultra Wide camera with autofocus enables macro photography. The Ultra Wide camera also gathers up to 2.6x more light for higher image quality.The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max have a second-generation quad-pixel sensor that enables s 4K120 fps video recording in Dolby Vision. Additional advancements include a new 48MP Ultra Wide camera for higher-resolution photography, including macro; a 5x Telephoto camera on both Pro models; and studio-quality mics to record more true-to-life audio.Camera features that all iPhone models haveAll 2024 iPhone 16 models offer some similar camera capabilities, these features don't apply to to the iPhone 16e. Here they are:Smart HDR 5:New Smart HDR captures subjects and the background with more true-to-life renderings of skin tones while ensuring photos have brighter highlights, richer midtones, and deeper shadows when viewed in the Photos app. This advanced HDR rendering is also available to third-party apps, so images can look even better when shared online.Next-generation Photographic Styles: It helps users express their creativity and customize their photos by locally adjusting color, highlights, and shadows in real-time. Styles also have a deeper understanding of skin undertones, so users can personalize how they appear in photos. Unlike filters, which often use a one-size-fits-all approach by adding a color to an entire scene, adjustments are applied to specific colors of a selected style. A wider set of styles offers more creative options for editing a photos aesthetic, and styles can be rendered during live preview, applied after a photo is taken, or even reversed later. Here's how iPhone 16 Photographic Styles are making everyone a good photographer.Image source: Jos Adorno for BGRVideos in Spatial Audio: Video can now be captured in Spatial Audio for immersive listening with AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, or a surround sound system. Both iPhone models introduce new ways to edit video sound with Audio Mix allowing users to adjust their sound after capture to focus on the voice of the person on camera, make it sound like the video was recorded inside a professional studio, or position vocal tracks in the front and environmental noises in surround sound. Wind noise reduction: All new iPhone models feature wind noise reduction, which uses powerful machine learning (ML) algorithms to reduce unwanted noise for better audio quality.These new models have some exclusive camera features users can only get by upgrading to these new phones.Spatial Photos and Spatial Videos come to everyoneImage source: Apple Inc.After Apple announced itsVision Pro spatial computer,BGRwrote that it would be possible for a newiPhone to feature Spatial Video. This function lets you record 3D videos, which will be perfect to watch on the Vision Pro headset.While the iPhone 15 Pro already offered Spatial Video, all new iPhone 16 models now have this feature. For the first time, Spatial Photos can also be taken with these new phones, so you can relive memories with depth on Apple Vision Pro.USB-C ports are unchangedAll four iPhone 16 models maintain the USB-C port. While the regular models get USB-C 2.0, the Pro versions get USB-C 3.0 standards, which give transfer speeds up to 10 gigabits per second, up to 20x faster than before. That said, users must buy a new cable, not the braided one available in this iPhone's box, to get these transfer speeds.Everything you can connect to your iPhone 16 with the USB-C portUnlike the Lightning port on previous iPhones, Apple has been pretty generous with the new USB-C port, meaning you can connect basicallyany peripheral to this device.

Image source: Christian de Looper for BGRBGR has reviewed the iPhone 16, 16 Pro, and 16e:In our iPhone 16 review, we praise how "pro" this device has become:With or withoutApple Intelligence, the base iPhones get a pretty big upgrade this year. They perform excellently well, get the programmable Action Button they should have had last year, and get a fun new Camera Control that, while imperfect, is kind of fun.In our iPhone 16 Pro review, it seems this device isn't a bit upgrade if you're coming from last year's phone. However, it's still Apple's best phone to date:Its a weird year for the iPhone. TheiPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plushave gotten pretty impressive upgrades through features that were previously reserved for Pro model devices. The Pro models, on the other hand, keep those features and really only add one major change in the form of the camera control. Sure, there are other bits and pieces that are improved too, like the new A18 Pro chip. But given the fact that the iPhone series always performs excellently well, its hard for the improved performance to really feel like an upgrade.Finally, in our iPhone 16e review, we believe this is a good iPhone, but it's weird Apple says it's part of the iPhone 16 family:Some of the trade-offs you make for the cheaper iPhone make sense compared to the iPhone 16. It makes sense to lose a camera and the Camera Control. It makes sense to have a slightly older display. And, it makes sense to have a slightly older design with a notch. Other changes, like the lack of MagSafe, make no sense to me. Apple is all about that ecosystem and not including MagSafe represents a jarring break in the ecosystem that limits the accessories people can actually use with their phones.But, despite that, its far from a bad phone. Actually, its a great phone. This is the phone to buy if you want the cheapest phone that will last the longest amount of time. With an A18 chip, itll support new versions of iOS for years to come, plus it still delivers on all the basics, like a solid camera and nice display.Wrap upThis is everything you need to know about the iPhone 16.
