The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are the current top-notch premium smartphones offered by Apple, with the A17 pro-chip and notable improvements from previous models in display features. Even as the buzz around the iPhone 15 Pro series grows, most people anticipate what comes next from Apple, with the iPhone 16 series expected during the fall event to be held in the late September launch.
The Upcoming Changes in iPhone 16 Pro Series
The new iPhone 16 series is likely to have four models, including iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, all with noticeable enhancements from their predecessors. The new iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to come with larger screens of up to 6.3 inches for the Pro and 6.9 inches for the Pro Max, becoming the largest iPhone displays yet. Both models are likely to retain the smooth 120Hz refresh rate and could offer improved brightness with advanced scratch-resistant coatings.
Similar to the previous versions, it is expected that the iPhone 16 Pro series will come in its predecessor’s slim titanium body with slightly curved edges. It is, however, possible that it will be available in new color variations such as space black or rose titanium. For the new model, the design is likely to remain the same, although the notch might be eliminated in favor of a punch-hole camera. The lightning port will likely be changed to USB-C for faster data transfer, matching the industry’s standards.
The camera will be similar to its previous versions, but the megapixels or the sensor size will be improved. The telephoto lens of the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to improve its zoom quality. The camera will finally be able to capture 8K videos, but the feature is speculative. Moreover, user experiences could be improved with specifically designed capture buttons for both pictures and recordings and larger action buttons for various controls.
In terms of performance and efficiency, the iPhone 16 Pro versions will presumably be equipped with the A18 Pro Bionic processor of the next generation. With high RAM of 12GB and various storage spaces, which may include 1TB, consumers will have a chance to do extensive multitasking and store multimedia files without issues . Generative AI, including on-device Siri and camera upright capabilities, will make experiences more personalized and intuitive.
Leaks reveal that battery capacity may increase with the iPhone 16 Pro Max allegedly having a 4,676mAh battery. Conversely, the iPhone 16 Plus may have a slightly lower capacity. In terms of pricing, iPhone Pro variant prices may become more expensive, diverging from the current trend with rises ranging from $100 to 200 on all the models in the next Pro series. The iPhone 16 Pro series is expected to be launched in early September, followed by the release a few weeks later.
