Apple’s next iPhone generation is still months away, but leaks and rumors continue to paint a picture of what to expect. Here’s a look at the latest buzz surrounding the iPhone 16:
Size Changes: The biggest upgrade might be reserved for the Pro models. Leaks suggest the iPhone 16 Pro could jump to a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max might hit a massive 6.9 inches. The standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus could retain their current sizes.
New Buttons: Haptic buttons, originally planned for iPhone 15 Pro, might finally make their debut on iPhone 16. These solid-state buttons could replace the physical volume and power buttons and potentially offer new functionality. Additionally, a new “capture” button is rumored, possibly offering advanced camera controls.
Camera Tweaks: The standard iPhone 16 models might see a design shift to a vertical rear camera layout, similar to the iPhone X or iPhone 12. The Pro models are likely to stick with the triple-lens system. Leaks also suggest the Pro models could adopt the “tetraprism” telephoto lens introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, offering improved zoom capabilities.
Battery Life: There are conflicting reports on battery upgrades. Some leaks suggest the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro Max might see a slight bump in battery capacity, while the Plus model could see a decrease. Apple might also be exploring new heat dissipation methods to address overheating concerns.
Other Rumors: There are whispers about a “significantly” upgraded neural engine for improved AI features in iOS 18 and upgraded microphones for better voice recognition. The A18 Bionic chip might be slightly behind competitors based on early benchmarks, but this remains unconfirmed.
Keep in Mind: These are all leaks and rumors, and Apple’s final design and features could differ. We’ll likely have a clearer picture closer to the expected September launch date.
