iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus
iPhone 15Apple’s strategy since 2022 has been to introduce premium features of the ‘Pro’ iPhone models to the base variants in the following year. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus carried forward the A15 Bionic processor from the iPhone 13 Series while the Pro Models were equipped with the updated A16 Bionic chipset. In 2023, the base variants of the iPhone 15 Series were finally updated with the A16 Bionic chipset while the Pro models were powered by the latest Apple A17 Pro. The camera upgrades and Dynamic Island also took a year to arrive on the base models.Following this pattern, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will inherit the new Apple A17 Pro chipset from the Pro models in the iPhone 15 Series. They will also receive the Grade 5 Titanium frame and the ‘Action’ button. The mute switch will finally be replaced by the Action button which can customised to carry out a range of actions. You can read about it here. Rumours also suggest that Apple will finally upgrade the refresh rate of the base model displays to 120Hz.Leaked renders suggest that Apple may also go back to the vertical layout pattern for the rear cameras, which will now be packed inside a smaller two-step panel. This panel will likely be pill-shaped to accommodate the vertical layout. If this is the case, the LED flash will be placed outside the new panel.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
iPhone 15 ProLast year’s Pro models (our review here) saw Apple switch to a Grade 5 Titanium frame. The new frame rocked a new ‘Action’ button. This year, the iPhone 16 Pro models are rumoured to get a new ‘Capture’ button which will lie on the lower end of the left side of the frame. To accommodate this change, the mmWave 5G cutout will be moved to the right edge of the frame, alongside the volume rocker. The Capture button will act as a traditional shutter button to click pictures. It may have different pressure levels for focus adjustment.The iPhone 16 Pro models are set to get bigger this year. The iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.27-inch display while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a 6.85-inch panel. The current Pro models have 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays respectively. The larger displays will allow for a bigger battery inside both the Pro models. With Samsung introducing an anti-reflective display on the latest Galaxy S24 Ultra (our review here), Apple could also bring the technology to its upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Models.The Apple A18 Pro chipset will make its debut in the new Pro models of the upcoming iPhone series. Apple is expected to equip the two smartphones with WiFi 7 tech which provides 2.4x faster speeds than the outgoing WiFi 6. Not much is known about the camera specs of the upcoming iPhone Pro models, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the camera module remains unchanged. Some rumours suggest that the telephoto lens on the iPhone 16 Pro will support 5x zoom, which is a feature that is limited to the Pro Max model on the iPhone 15 Series. More details are expected to emerge as we get closer to launch.Read Also:How to use Truecaller on your PC? (2024)
Final thoughts: Colours and Pricing
Apple usually plays it safe with colour options for the iPhone and isn’t known to experiment a lot. We don’t expect any outrageous colour schemes for the 2024 iPhone 16 series. However, the Cupertino tech giant may introduce two new colours for the Pro models of its flagship smartphone – Desert Titanium (Deep Yellow) and Titanium Gray.Apple has kept a tight lid on the pricing of the iPhone 16 so far. No leaks have emerged about what the new iPhones may cost. However, if previous trends are to be believed, all four iPhone models will demand a small premium over the outgoing models. This means the base iPhone 16 model will finally cross the $800 barrier while the iPhone 16 Pro will cost upwards of $1,000.
