The annual iPhone hype cycle is already in full swing, with rumours and leaks about the iPhone 16 series circulating widely. While Apple like always has been tight-lipped about upcoming products, early indications suggest significant upgrades, especially for the Pro models.
Expectations are high for a redesigned look, enhanced camera capabilities, and potential performance upgrades. The tech giant is also rumoured to be looking at new display sizes and materials for the 2024 flagship.
While we’re still months away from the official launch, here’s a glimpse into what we might expect from the standard iPhone 16 and its Pro counterpart.
Bigger displays for iPhone 16 Pros
One of the most significant changes rumoured for the iPhone 16 lineup is an increase in screen size for the Pro models. The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to sport a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max could boast a massive 6.9-inch screen. This would be a departure from the current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes, respectively. The standard iPhone 16 models are likely to retain their current screen sizes.
Camera upgrades
The camera system is another area where the iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to see substantial improvements. Both the Pro models are rumoured to feature a 48-megapixel main sensor, 48-megapixel UW sensor, and12-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 12x zoom capabilities. The base models are rumoured to retain the same 48-megapixel main sensor and 12-megapixel UW sensor.
Display refresh rate
The standard iPhone 16 is expected to stick with a 60Hz refresh rate, while the Pro models will likely go with the smoother 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
Processor
The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to be powered by the latest A-series chip, offering superior performance compared to the standard models. The standard models could also come with latest A-series chip but weaker than the one used in Pro models.
Materials and design
The iPhone 16 Pro models might feature premium materials like stainless steel and a titanium frame, while the standard models could stick with aluminum. Note that these are just rumours and we suggest you to take it with a grain of salt.
