The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are a bit far away from a proper launch, but that has not stopped fans from speculating about the devices numerous rumours and leaks circulating across the tech world.
From larger screen sizes to advanced camera systems, the iPhone 16 series is shaping to be an exciting evolution in Apple’s smartphone range.
Let’s find out what these rumours entail exactly.
According to analysts like Ross Young, the iPhone 16 rumours suggest that both the Pro and Pro Max models will boast larger screens than their predecessors.
The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to feature a 6.3-inch display, up from the 6.1-inch display of the iPhone 15 Pro.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max may come with a 6.9-inch display, surpassing the 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
This increase in screen size would mark the first change in iPhone screen sizes since 2020.
One interesting titbit is the potential introduction of a new metal shell battery for the iPhone 16 Pro.
This change from the traditional foil covering could be a first for iPhones.
Additionally, there are talks of a new graphene thermal system to improve heat dissipation and thermal conductivity, potentially enhancing the device’s performance, which is already highly appreciated in the smartphone world
The camera setup is also a focal point in the list of ever-expanding iPhone 16 rumours. The iPhone 16 Pro might inherit the 5x zoom tetraprism camera, currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max could further differentiate itself with a rumoured “periscope ultra-long telephoto camera,” although this has yet to be widely corroborated.
New Sony camera sensors for the main camera are also expected, which are likely to enhance low-light photography.
Among other leaks pertaining to the upcoming iPhones, the series is expected to support Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, which is likely to significantly boost data transmission speeds.
However, users would need to upgrade their routers to fully utilize this feature.
The iPhone 16 Pro is also may also just get Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 modem for breakneck 5G capabilities.
Further iPhone 16 rumours include the potential use of solid-state buttons, a departure from physical buttons.
As for the release date, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are expected to be announced and released in September 2024, barring any significant supply chain or production issues.
In terms of pricing, the iPhone 15 Pro models were priced similarly to their predecessors, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max starting at a higher storage capacity.
Despite the higher production costs, Apple did not pass these increases to consumers. Whether this pricing strategy will continue with the iPhone 16 Pro series is yet to be seen.
