iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus Expected Features and Specifications
There are plenty of rumours and leaks that suggest some of the specifications and features of the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. Here’s everything you need to know:
Design
Apple is planning to slightly tweak the design of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. The company is reportedly planning to slim down the camera bump with its new camera module. The vanilla variants might come with a vertically-aligned pill-shaped camera setup, which ends its vertically-aligned lens setup in the previous models.
Apart from this, the company might also bring a new Action Button, which it introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro series. The new Action Button will replace the mute switch. The new Action button could be customisable for different shortcuts. Moreover, the company might also bring a new Capture button to the iPhone 16 series, which will act as a physical shutter button for taking photos and videos. The button could be placed on the right side of the device.
The upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus could be available in seven colour options: Black, Green, Pink, Blue, White, Purple, and Yellow.
Display
In terms of display, the standard iPhone 16 series could feature a display configuration similar to that of its predecessor. The company might introduce a 6.1-inch display for the iPhone 16 model, while the Plus variant might flaunt a 6.7-inch screen. Both models might come with a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate. That said, there are reports that Apple might introduce improved display tech with its iPhone 16 standard models.
Performance and OS
The latest iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are reportedly powered by the Apple A18 chipset. The upcoming chipset will offer better performance and improved AI performance of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This also marks an upgrade from the iPhone 15, which offered an Apple A16 chipset. Interestingly, the company might introduce two variants of the A18 SoC. The standard variant might power the vanilla variant, while the Apple A18 Pro could power the upcoming Pro series.
However, the integration of the Apple Intelligence AI could make the real difference between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15. The New AI features include object detection, AI summary, ChatGPT integration, improved Siri, and more.
Cameras
Apple might introduce a similar dual-camera setup on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, which is also present in the vanilla iPhone 15 models. The handset might pack with a 48-megapixel primary sensor with f/1.6 aperture. The company might also introduce a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with a slightly better aperture of f/2.2, which could improve its low-light performance. On the front, the handset might offer a 12-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calling. Moreover, the non-Pro iPhone models will likely support macro photography for the first time.
Battery and Other Details
As per multiple rumours and leaks, the company might improve the battery life of the iPhone 16. The handset is reportedly to pack a 3,561mAh battery, slightly better than the 3,349mAh present in the iPhone 15. However, the iPhone 16 Plus model could come with a downgrade in the battery department. The handset is reported to feature a 4,006mAh battery as opposed to the 4,383mAh present in the iPhone 15 Plus.
