The iPhone 15 has yet to be announced, but leaks and rumors about the iPhone 16 series have already begun. This lineup, which is anticipated to launch in late 2024, might feature the iPhone Ultra having under-display Face ID, bigger panels, and Apple‘s own modem chip. Apple is expected to make a number of other improvements with the iPhone 16.
The company could also include features such as the solid-state buttons that were first rumored for the iPhone 15 Pro, as well as its own modem chip. Here’s a rundown of the most recent leaks and rumors about the upcoming iPhone 16 series.
All About the iPhone 16 series Leaks and Rumors
According to the most recent report, Apple is planning a larger screen size for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to display analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max would have a 6.9-inch display. He also stated that the new size options are exclusively available for the Pro versions, marking the first time that Apple will use various sizes for the basic iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, as well as the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.
Apple is anticipated to release a higher-end iPhone 16 Ultra, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The iPhone 16 Ultra will be available alongside the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, allowing Apple to introduce five iPhone 16 variants. It’s also possible that, instead of releasing five models, Apple will replace the iPhone 16 Pro Max with the iPhone 16 Ultra, or even add the Ultra to the lineup.
According to MacRumors, the solid-state buttons will now be launched with the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max variants. Apple is going to redesign the volume button, introducing one, unified solid-state button. Apple is likely to introduce under-display Face ID with the iPhone 16 models in 2024. The under-display face ID is projected to shrink Dynamic Island’s size and maybe allow for a more compact hole-punch front camera.
According to analyst Ming-Cho Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could feature a periscope telephoto lens like the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is expected to support 5x or 6x optical zoom. Like the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 will have a USB-C port. Notably, the iPhone 16 series is still over a year away, and all of the information supplied below is based on leaks and rumors. As a result, there is always a chance that these reports will not be confirmed by Apple.
