phone 16 is coming, and these five characteristics may be worth the wait
In two months the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will be available, so now is not the time to purchase a new iPhone 15 unless you absolutely need one. Apple has a notable form factor change planned for the iPhone 16 despite the fact that the overall design of the iPhone 16 will be the same as that of the iPhone 15. According to reliable analyst Ross Young and other sources, the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro will both have larger screens than the predecessors. The iPhone 16 Pro should feature a 6.3 inch display, compared to the 6.1 inch screen of the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, meanwhile, is expected to have a 6.9 inch display, a significant increase over the 6.7 inch screen of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. If these rumors are true, the iPhone 16 Pro Max would be the largest iPhone released. This will also be the first time that iPhone screen sizes have changed since the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro were introduced in 2020. The entire iPhone 16 line will reportedly feature bigger batteries. Here are the battery capacities for the iPhone 15 lineup.
iPhone 15 Plus: 4,383mAh
iPhone 15 Pro: 3,274mAh
iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422 mAh
Here are the rumored battery capacities for the iPhone 16 : iPhone 16 : 3,561mAh (up 6.3%).
iPhone 16 Plus: 4,006mAh (down 8.6%).
iPhone 16 Pro: 3,355mAh (up 2.5%).
iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,676 mAh (up 5.7%)
Ming-Chi Kuo also reported that the iPhone 16 will have a greater energy density. Apple is also testing ways to make it easier to replace the iPhone 16 battery, thanks in part to a metal casing. The iPhone 16 could offer faster charging speeds according to a rumor. The iPhone 15 can currently charge at 15W with MagSafe, and 27W with a USB cable. This rumor claims that the iPhone 16 Pro supports 20W charging via MagSafe and 40W wired charging. All four iPhone 16 models are expected to have a new Capture button on the camera. It will be located on the right-hand side of the phone, in the same place as the mmWave antenna is currently located in the United States. iPhone 16 users can swipe left and right across the surface of the Capture button to zoom in and out. Apple Intelligence is a suite AI features that Apple announced at WWDC in this year. These features will begin rolling out to Apple’s platforms later this year. Apple Intelligence will be available to iPhone users only on the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. The entire iPhone 16 line, which will be released this fall, will support Apple Intelligence, according to reports. Ming-Chi Kuo confirmed this most recently, stating that the iPhone 16 Pro would have the same 5x zoom camera as its Pro Max counterpart. Kuo also reported that both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro will use new Sony cameras for the main camera. Analyst Jeff Pu reported that the iPhone 16 Pro would use a 48 MP ultra wide camera, which is a significant upgrade from the 12 MP ultra wide camera on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 16 lineup will be announced and released this September. Are you planning on upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 this week? What features are you most eager to try?
