kCCOptionECBMode : Electronic Code Book (ECB). Electronic Code Book (ECB) is a mode of operation for a block cipher, with the characteristic that each possible block of plaintext has a defined corresponding ciphertext value and vice versa. In other words, the same plaintext value will always result in the same ciphertext value. Electronic Code Book is used when a volume of plaintext is separated into several blocks of data, each of which is then encrypted independently of other blocks. In fact, Electronic Code Book has the ability to support a separate encryption key for each block type.

CCCrypt is the apple api that actually encrypts or decrypts based on the parameters passed to it.
kCCAlgorithmAES128 is the algorithm to use to encrypt or decrypt. It will successfully encrypt or decrypt only 15 characters, because the buffer size accepts 16 characters. Last character space is for termination character ‘\0’.
If you send more than 15 characters then you will face issue in decryption. So in order to encrypt more than 15 characters then you need to pass kCCOptionECBMode in options. That will internally split the characters and encrypt and provide you the result. In decryption also you mention this mode.
