Below are all the rumored features of the iPhone 16 series as compiled by Phone Arena:
1. Bigger size, bigger screen
One of the most intriguing rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is the larger screen size. iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen (up from 6.1 inches on iPhone 15 Pro) while iPhone 16 Pro Max will ditch the 6.7-inch screen in favor of a 6.9-inch screen.
iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch screen.
Apple will achieve this screen expansion through a combination of several key changes. Both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be slightly taller and wider than their predecessors and will also have much thinner bezels.
However, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will not have a larger screen and their sizes will not change.
Of course, a larger screen with the same form factor is always a welcome scenario for users. Rarely does an iPhone score points on screen size.
2. New shutter button
After bringing Action Buttons to the iPhone 15 series, Apple will add Shutter buttons to its iPhones. It is predicted that iPhone 16 models will all have a new capacitive Shutter button, located on the right edge of the phone, below the power button.
This button will allow users to quickly access the camera from anywhere, zoom with a swipe, and take photos or videos with just a tap.
3. Upgrade and change cameras
Regarding cameras, all iPhone 16 models will have upgrades.
Both iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a new 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera. This camera will be smaller in size but with a larger sized sensor, improving low-light performance and overall image quality.
The standard iPhone 16 pair will have a vertical rear camera.
On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro will have the telephoto camera of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This camera offers 5X optical zoom, a "leap" compared to the 3X telephoto zoom lens on all previous iPhone Pro models.
On the other hand, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will not have any major hardware upgrades. The most important change may be the new vertical camera alignment, which allows the two devices to capture spatial video - compatible with Apple Vision Pro glasses.
4. Bigger battery and better battery life
According to the latest rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 4,676mAh battery (slightly larger than the 4,422mAh battery on the iPhone 15 Pro Max). Meanwhile, the smaller iPhone 16 Pro will also have a battery with a capacity of up to 3,355mAh (up from the 3,274 mAh battery on the iPhone 15 Pro).
Next, the iPhone 16 will be equipped with a 3,561mAh battery, up from the 3,349mAh battery on the iPhone 15. However, the iPhone 16 Plus will only have a 4,006mAh battery, nearly 10% smaller than the 4,383mAh battery inside the iPhone. 15 Plus.
If the rumors are accurate, most iPhone 16 models will have much better battery life. In addition, energy efficiency thanks to faster chips also helps new iPhone models have longer battery life.
5. First 3nm chip in the smartphone segment
According to many rumors, the iPhone 16 series could be powered by the same chip, the Apple A18 Pro - which is coming soon. This will be Apple's second generation 3nm chip, manufactured on TSMC's 3NE process. The new chips will have better performance and productivity.
6. AI on device + iOS 18
The iPhone 16 series is betting on AI even though it comes later than Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and most "competitors". The company will have to quickly catch up and show great effort in the field of artificial intelligence.
iOS 18 will integrate many AI features.
With AI, Siri will be much better, photo and video enhancements will be powered by AI, smart suggestions and contextual image recognition will likely appear on iPhone 16 Series. This June, Apple will launch iOS 18 - focusing heavily on AI.
Most of iOS 18's cloud-powered AI features will be available on all eligible iPhones (iPhone Xs and later). Most likely, though, only the iPhone 16 series can benefit from more powerful AI tasks.
7. Faster in-flight Wi-Fi
The entire iPhone 16 line will support Wi-Fi 7. The new wireless standard will enable significantly faster data transfers, providing data transfer speeds of more than 40 Gbps, a fourfold increase compared to Wi-Fi 6E of Current iPhone 15 generation.
Protective case for iPhone 16 series.
Faster Wi-Fi will be a great upgrade for the iPhone 16 series. However, users will need a Wi-Fi 7 router to benefit from this upgrade.
