With a number of improvements, Apple's iPhone 16 Pro is expected to create a major impression. Expect new design elements, a larger display, and improved AI capabilities from the tech giant's newest product.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max |
Currently available for purchase, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Prox rank among the best high-end smartphones available. The A17 Pro CPU in the Pro model is faster than the A16 chip in the iPhone 15, and it also has several other significant improvements including an always-on display and a better refresh rate. Even though the iPhone 15 Pro lineup has just recently been released, there are a lot of rumours circulating about the upcoming model. According to the timeline, Apple is anticipated to introduce four smartphones—the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max—as part of the autumn launch in late September. This new iPhone series may be the iPhone 16 series.
A new Apple CPU, a larger and better display, improved AI, and other features are also rumoured to be included in the new Pro versions over their predecessors. Let's examine everything we can anticipate from the new Apple iPhone 16 Pro lineup in depth.
Bigger display
There are rumours that Apple will no longer be using the current screen sizes on the Pro models. The iPhone 16 Pro is anticipated to have a large 6.3-inch screen, but the Pro Max may have the largest screen on an iPhone ever at 6.9 inches. Both should continue to have a smooth refresh rate of 120 Hz and maybe have better peak brightness thanks to a newer, scratch-resistant coating.
Minimal design touches
Do not anticipate a significant redesign this year. It is anticipated that the iPhone 16 Pro series would carry over its predecessor's titanium frame and simple curves. Apple may, however, release additional colour options, maybe emulating the design of the upcoming MacBook Air, such as rose titanium and space black. It's also conceivable that the design without a notch and a punch-hole camera will endure. The largest design modification would be the conversion of the Lightning port to a USB-C interface, which offers faster data transfer rates and is in line with current market trends.
Improved cameras
The megapixel count or sensor size may be increased even if the triple-lens camera system may still appear comparable. There are reports suggesting that the iPhone 16 Pro would feature a telephoto lens with enhanced magnification capabilities, and that it will shoot 8K video for the first time on an iPhone.
Many fans of mobile photography hope that the iPhone 16 Pro series will include a separate capture button for both images and videos. Rumours also indicate that there may be an expanded action button for even more customisable controls.
AI Integration with the A18 Pro Bionic chip
It is expected that the A18 Pro Bionic chip, which is the next generation of processors, would power the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, offering potent performance and efficiency. Users may anticipate smooth multitasking and enough of room for storing audiovisual content with up to 12GB of RAM and extended storage options, including a possible 1TB edition. Furthermore, the incorporation of generative AI elements, such AI-enhanced photography capabilities and on-device Siri intelligence, improves the user experience even more by offering individualised and simple interactions.
Battery life
Leaks indicate that the iPhone 16 Pro Max would have a larger battery than earlier models—a 4,676mAh battery is said to be included. On the other hand, the battery life of the iPhone 16 Plus may be little lower than that of its predecessor.
Potential price hike and launch
There hasn't been a price rise for the iPhone Pro lineup since the iPhone X. This year, though, it might throw off the flow. According to leaks, Apple may increase the starting price by $100 or $200. Increases may also be made for other markets, such as India. Early September is predicted to see the unveiling of the iPhone 16 Pro series, with a retail date later in the month.
