iPhone 16 and up iPhone 16 Pro rumors are flooding in. – and we're curious about how it will be different. iPhone 15.

Although it's early days, we're already hearing whispers of increased RAM for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, are reportedly getting some amazing upgrades to the cameras that might leave the masses in awe. Here's a compilation of what we know so far about next year's iPhone 16 line.

iPhone 16 Release Date

The release date of iPhone 16 is expected. September of next year. After the whole shebang of the event showcasing Apple's next-generation handsets, iPhones usually ship a week or two later.

In the past, Apple has deviated from this cadence due to reported production disruptions (e.g. supply chain issues). For example, iPhone 12 And iPhone 14 Plus Shipped in October, but usually unveiled sometime during the first half of September each year.

iPhone 16 design

Let's consider the most important aspect of the iPhone's design: the screen.

The display size has not changed significantly since. iPhone 12but according to a reliable leaker Unknown 21the higher-end iPhone 16 models are going to feel a little more unwieldy in your hands.

Display

The iPhone 16 Pro will reportedly have a 6.3-inch display while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will pack a 6.9-inch panel. You might be wondering, “What about the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus? Will they also get a bump in screen size? The answer is likely no. The lower-end models will reportedly have the same display size as these was the predecessor of

• iPhone 15 Plus – 6.7 inches

• iPhone 15 Pro – 6.1 inches

• iPhone 15 Pro Max – 6.7 inches

iPhone 16 screen sizes (rumored)

• iPhone 16 – 6.1 inches

• iPhone 16 Plus – 6.7 inches

• iPhone 16 Pro – 6.3 inches

• iPhone 16 Pro Max – 6.9 inches

Ross Young, a well-known display analyst and Apple leaker, was the first to claim that the iPhone 16 Pro models will have larger screens.

The tweet may have been deleted.

However, it offered slightly different numbers: 6.2 inches and 6.8 inches. What could be the reason for the disagreement? According to Macromersthis is “probably due to the difference between the actual display area and the viewable display area.”

Another rumor we are hearing is that The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will continue to feature 60Hz refresh rate displays. It's a bit disappointing that other phones on the market have at least 90Hz screens, which make the UI smoother, zippier and smoother.

Thin bezels

The iPhone 16 will also reportedly have thinner bezels, according to a report from The election (h/t Macromers). Apple is tipped to use something called Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology, which reduces the internal footprint of the circuitry inside, allowing for thinner bezels (e.g. display performance e.g. without sacrificing any important aspect).

Thinner bezels mean the iPhone 16 series should get more screen real estate for users.

Action button

A report from Macromers claims that every single model in the iPhone 16 line will have an action button — not just the iPhone 15 Pro variants. The action button on current-generation iPhone 15 Pro models can be programmed to launch a range of apps and functions, including flashlight, camera, silent mode, voice memo, focus, magnifier, translate (on iOS 17.2 coming up) and includes a range. Accessibility features

When the iPhone 16 drops, however, the rumor mill says Apple will add more functionality to the action button.

Capture button

However, according to , the action button was all the rage for the iPhone 15 series. Macromers And the informationa New capture button This will be one of the biggest selling points for the iPhone 16. Reportedly placed just below the power button, the Capture button is a camera-focused feature that can do the following:

• Zoom in and out of photos/videos with swiping gestures.

• Allows users to focus on subjects.

• Activates the shutter button.

While both MacRumors and The Information agree that Apple is testing a “capture button” on the iPhone 16, the two aren't on the same page as to whether it's a mechanical or capacitive button. MacRumors says it's the latter, but the information claims it's both.

Solid state button

Apple had reportedly planned to introduce solid-state buttons with the iPhone 15 Pro models, but instead, we got a custom action button. For the uninitiated, solid state buttons are not buttons. per second – They are panels that feature haptic feedback sensations that mimic real button presses (think of the home button on the iPhone SE series). On the plus side, solid-state buttons aren't completely out of the picture. According to Hon Apple leaker and analyst Ming-Chi KuoApple is working on debuting a solid-state button on the iPhone 16 Pro models instead.

Kuo added that these solid-state buttons will add two additional features. Taptic Engine, which will help users eliminate concrete feedback. (If true, the iPhone 16 would increase the number of Taptic Engines from one to three.)

According to a tip from Weibo (via Macromers), the action button on the iPhone 16 Pro will be a solid-state button and sit flush against the chassis. To make room for this change, Apple will reportedly move the mmWave antenna to the left side of the iPhone 16 Pro as it is to the right. According to Macromers, this Weibo tip comes from a leaker with “Instant Digital,” a beanspiller with a purportedly accurate track record.

iPhone 16 AI

The iPhone 16 will reportedly feature one. AI powered Siri.

In other words, Siri is shaping up to be a more sophisticated digital assistant. According to Kuo, this means Siri will bring new hardware to the iPhone 16, including updated microphones with better water resistance and better signal-to-noise ratio.

iPhone 16 cameras

Apple debuted a new zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a “tetraprism” design, which simply means that engineers found a way to “fold” the shooter to fit a telephoto lens without taking up too much space. Have photo capabilities. This new camera extends the Pro Max's optical zoom from 3x to 5x.

however, According to Digital Chat Station (DCS), a bean spreader on Chinese social media site Weibo, both iPhone 16 Pro And The iPhone 16 Pro Max will get a new Tetra Prism telephoto camera.

DCS also added. That iPhone 16 Pro Max Especially Sony is getting the IMX903 sensor, which is an upgrade from the Sony IMX803 sensor. This means the sensor size of the iPhone 16 Pro Max's wide-angle lens will be larger, which can collect more light for better photos and videos in low-light situations.

According to Jeff PAccording to a tech analyst at Haitong International Securities (a Hong Kong investment firm), ultra-wide cameras are also gaining momentum.

He said that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models will also have a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera with better light collection. Thus, camera performance should be better in dim environments. As it stands now, the iPhone 15 Pro models have a 12MP ultra-wide camera.

The ultra-wide camera is perfect for taking landscape photos, allowing you to capture more scenes. However, compared to the main camera, the ultra-wide lens offers a slight reduction in sharpness and sharpness. If the rumor is true, a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera could improve on that minor fumble.

To Ming Chi It has been claimed that Apple will upgrade the rear cameras of the iPhone 16 Pro models, introducing a stacked design. What would a stacked design do? According to Apple Insiderit increases light capture and provides a wider dynamic range, so Night Mode should get a nice boost.

Finally, it's worth pointing out that the iPhone 16 Pro, as we reported in April, is reportedly Deal with lens flare and ghosting issues. Using anti-reflective coating on cameras

iPhone 16 battery sizes

As we reported in early April, a Weibo leaker dubbed “OvO Baby Sace OvO” apparently unveiled the new. New battery sizes in iPhone 16 lineup:

All iPhone 16 models have something to offer. increase From two to six percent except For the iPhone 16 Plus, which is reportedly about nine percent less than the iPhone. iPhone 15 Plus.

Keep in mind that an increase in battery size does not necessarily mean that the device will provide longer battery life. And in the same vein, reduced battery size doesn't necessarily lead to shorter runtimes. There are other aspects at play (e.g. display performance). So we won't know for sure how battery life is affected until we get the phone in our hands.

iPhone 16 specifications

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are equipped with 8 GB of RAM while the lower-end models, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max, are stuck with their predecessor's 6 GB of RAM. If this bothers you, don't worry. According toThe iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also expected to join the 8GB RAM bandwagon.

Storage

According to the news aggregator account “yeux1122” of Naver, a Korean blog, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature the option. 2TB storage.

This is double the current maximum storage capacity of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The chipset

In recent years, Apple has followed the trend of putting Last year chip in two entry-level models while the pro models, the Pro and Pro Max, get a new-generation chip. For example, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus got the A16 Bionic chip, the same one inside the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were joined together. new A17 Pro chips.

If this pattern continues, it should follow that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will get A17 Pro while the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will get A18 chips. Pu indicated that the same would be the case for the iPhone 16 line, hinting that the A17 Pro would reportedly be less efficient. In other words, the battery life of iPhone 16 models equipped with this chip may be affected. This is because the next-generation chip will offer tremendous performance gains at the expense of power efficiency.

However, another rumor tells a different story.

According to an alleged iOS 18 code leak from Macromersthe the whole The iPhone 16 line will be available. one A18 chip. However, there is a chance that Apple will use the “Pro” identifier name to differentiate between the standard and Pro models (eg, the A18 chip and the A18 Pro).

iPhone 16 Pro models will also reportedly support Wi-Fi 7 (current models support Wi-Fi 6E). WiFi 7 should offer zippy transfer speeds in excess of 40 Gbps, four times what WiFi 6E can do.

According to P. (by 9to5Mac), the iPhone 16 Pro will come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem, which can reach 5G download rates of up to 7.5 Gbps.
