Rumors suggest new displays, chipsets, cameras, and other technologies.
We’ll be updating this post as new information becomes available, so come back often for the most up-to-date iPhone 16 information.
Although the iPhone 16 series isn’t slated to come until late 2024, leakers have been revealing early details regarding the normal iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max (which may end up Apple called the iPhone 16 Ultra).
Apple officially revealed the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max in September 2023, so while we’re still more than a year away from seeing the company’s 2024 iPhones, we now know what to anticipate from the iPhone 16 and its siblings.
The following is our comprehensive guide to all the latest iPhone 16 news, rumors, and predictions. We’ll be updating this post as new information becomes available, so come back often for the most up-to-date iPhone 16 information.
SPECULATIONS ABOUT THE RELEASE DATE OF THE IPHONE 16 :
- Launch is expected in the first half of September 2024.
- The expected delivery date will most likely be a week or two later.
It comes without saying, but because Apple has only recently announced the iPhone 15 line, we don’t know when the iPhone 16 line will be available. Having said that, we can make some educated guesses based on historical Apple behavior.
If Apple follows precedent, we can expect the iPhone 16 to be announced during the 2024 edition of its annual September launch event. We won’t know the exact date of that event until August 2024, but we can use the dates of previous Apple events to determine when next year’s Apple event will take place, and hence when the iPhone 16 will be available.
Apple usually chooses the first or second week of September for its yearly iPhone releases, and usually chooses a Tuesday, while the corporation occasionally chooses a Wednesday. Apple’s September event in 2023 (read: iPhone 15) took place on September 12, with all four iPhone 15 variants announced at the time coming on sale just over a week later, on September 15.
That indicates the iPhone 16 will most likely be released on September 3 or 10 in 2024 (both dates are Tuesdays), however September 4 and 11 are other possibilities. The iPhone 16, like the iPhone 15, will most likely begin shipping a week after pre-orders go live.
ESTIMATIONS FOR THE COST OF THE IPHONE 16:
- Costs for the iPhone 16 are being disputed by sources.
Despite reasons that are obvious, we won’t discover official iPhone 16 pricing until September of next year, and experts are divided on whether Apple will raise or lower prices next year.
Apple’s normal iPhone 15 model currently starts at ₹ 79,900 , while the iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at ₹1,59,900,. These data could be replicated by the iPhone 16 line in 2024, much like the iPhone 15 line did for the iPhone 14 line in terms of pricing.
It’s also worth noting that Apple could release its first Ultra-branded iPhone in 2024. Initially, speculations said that an iPhone 15 Ultra will replace the iPhone 15 Pro Max this year, but that did not occur, and analysts now expect that an iPhone 16 Ultra would emerge next year.
IPHONE 16 SCREEN SIZE OPTIONS:
- Pro models have larger panels and a new aspect ratio.
- The average screen size is expected to stay at 6.1 inches.
In terms of screen size, we’ve heard that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max may be the largest iPhones yet.
According to serial Apple leaker Ross Young, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Ultra (or iPhone 16 Pro Max, as it may be dubbed) would have 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens, respectively, as well as a new 19.6:9 aspect ratio. As a result, they would be the highest and narrowest iPhones ever.
Aside from size, the iPhone 16 series may offer brighter screens than its predecessors, at least when viewed from the front. Apple is apparently contemplating adding technology that would enable this while still being more power efficient, perhaps improving battery life.
According to Ross Young, the basic iPhone 16 will retain the same 19.5:9 aspect ratio as today’s greatest iPhones, albeit these dimensions modifications may be carried over to the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus in 2025.
RUMORS ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE IPHONE 16:
- The standard iPhone 16 is said to have an iPhone 11-style camera arrangement.
- Face ID components could be concealed beneath the screen.
- Each model might have a new ‘Capture’ button.
So yet, we haven’t heard many iPhone 16 design speculations, although there are a few forecasts floating around.
The initial issue relates to how the Face ID components are arranged on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and South Korean outlet The Elec, both phones’ Face ID components will be buried beneath the screen, similar to how many of the top Android phones currently include under-display fingerprint scanners. This will not totally eliminate the selfie camera cut-out, as the sensor will reportedly remain visible, but it may allow Apple to decrease its size to a small punch-hole module.
According to the Elec, this design modification is really a stopgap for Apple, whose ultimate goal is to build a completely unbroken, cut-out-free iPhone display.
The second iPhone 16 design rumor only refers to the regular iPhone 16. According to Twitter leaker @URedditor, the iPhone 16 will use a vertical camera configuration rather than the diagonal setup seen on every iPhone since the iPhone 13. “This will make the device instantly recognizable as the latest model” 24 years from now
Capacitive (or solid-state) buttons, unlike mechanical buttons, do not move when pressed. They instead have haptic engines that provide physical feedback (read: vibrations). The iPhone SE (2022)’s Home button is capacitive, as are the trackpads on current MacBook models, thus this new “Capture” button should feel comparable to the touch.
RUMORS ABOUT THE IPHONE 16 CAMERA:
- Periscope lens for both Pro versions
- rumored ‘Super-telephoto’ periscope lens for Pro Max
- 48MP ultra-wide camera also rumored
In terms of cameras, the normal iPhone 16 could use the same 48MP primary and 12MP ultra-wide dual-sensor configuration as the iPhone 15, according to early rumors.
We’ve heard this story before, with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicting as recently as September 2023 that the iPhone 16 Pro will inherit the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s ‘tetraprism’ periscope camera technology, and analyst Jeff Pu asserting the same about the iPhone 16 Pro in October.
The higher 6.3-inch screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro, as noted in the display section of this article, will allegedly support this obviously bulky periscope camera.
POSSIBLE IPHONE 16 FEATURES:
- A17 Pro chipset is most likely for the iPhone 16
- A18 Pro/Bionic chipset is most likely for Advanced versions.
- Overall battery efficiency has been improved
We haven’t heard anything about the CPUs that will be utilized in the iPhone 16 line, except from the fact that Apple intends to alter its chipset production process in 2024, but we can make some reasonably certain predictions based on past Apple behavior.
considering that the standard iPhone 15 received the A16 Bionic chipset from the iPhone 14 Pro, and that both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max received Apple’s shiny new A17 Pro chipset, we’re fairly confident that the standard iPhone 16 will receive the A17 Pro from the iPhone 15 Pro, while the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will receive an as-yet unnamed A18 Pro/Bionic.
According to one leak, all four iPhone 16 variants will have 8GB of RAM. That would be an improvement for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, but there would be no change for the Pro models.
According to one source, the iPhone 16 Pro versions may feature Wi-Fi 7 and contain a new 5G modem, which would offer faster Wi-Fi and 5G speeds than the ordinary iPhone 16 models.
