While some individuals are still using the iPhone 15 series and others are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new iPhones, online leaks regarding the forthcoming iPhone 16 have started to emerge. The iPhone 15 series saw significant improvements this year, and it appears that the 2024 models will also receive some updates.
Anticipated Changes in Display and Screen Size for the Apple iPhone 16
According to sources, one of the most notable changes being discussed is the possibility that Apple might finally introduce a 120Hz refresh rate display for the standard iPhone 16 model. Given that many Android devices now feature high-refresh-rate displays; some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the 60Hz screens found on iPhones thus far. It’s worth noting that this is just an initial leak, and we will receive official confirmation in due course.
The iPhone 16 Pro is anticipated to sport a larger 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max, even larger, might have a 6.9-inch screen. However, the basic iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to retain the same screen sizes as their predecessors, potentially disappointing those who were hoping for larger screens. This implies that the screens for the standard and Plus models may remain at 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively.
Potential Upgrades in Technology for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Series
Apple had previously explored the use of solid-state buttons, akin to the haptic feedback feature in the iPhone SE series’ Home button, with the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that solid-state buttons may make their debut in the iPhone 16 Pro models, even though they were absent in the iPhone 15 Pro.
Additionally, the next iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to feature a “tetra-prism” telephoto camera, mimicking the design of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This technology is expected to enhance optical zoom from 3x to 5x, resulting in clearer and more detailed images. Furthermore, the iPhone 16 Pro series may include a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera with improved low-light performance, as indicated by tech expert Jeff Pu from Haitong International Securities.
