<\/span><\/h3>For the iPhone 16 design, Apple produced three prototypes, each with a few minor differences in features. A vertically oriented camera is present in all three, which probably enables the capture of spatial footage for the Vision Pro headset.<\/p>
Two concepts included two different lenses, and one featured a camera styled like the iPhone X. A third design had a two-lens camera along with regular mechanical volume buttons, a capacitive Action Button, a new Capture Button, and haptic buttons with a single volume button.<\/p>
Mostly rumored and expected, Apple will select the third design, which is represented by the black phone in the pictures. The rear camera will be positioned vertically, there will be a second “Capture” button on the right side for recording video, and below the Action Button, on the left, will be a mmWave antenna for the United States.<\/p> <\/figure><\/p>
Keep in mind that Apple has tested the colors seen in the photos, so the basic iPhone 16 models may come in pink, yellow, and black. These pictures show regular iPhone 16 versions however they will be equipped with a triple-camera setup!<\/p>
<\/span>Size Variation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>As discussed earlier, the basic series will see no size increase however the pro series <\/strong>is expected to go under some variation. In the following table size comparison is provided to have a fair idea!<\/p><\/span>iPhone 16 Pro<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><\/th> <\/th> <\/th><\/tr><\/thead> <\/th> iPhone 16 Pro<\/th> iPhone 15 Pro<\/th><\/tr> Thickness<\/th> 8.25 mm<\/td> 8.25 mm<\/td><\/tr> Height<\/th> 149.6 mm<\/td> 146.6 mm<\/td><\/tr> Width<\/th> 71.45 mm<\/td> 70.60 mm<\/td><\/tr> Display<\/th> 6.3″ (159.31 mm)<\/td> 6.1″ (155.38 mm)<\/td><\/tr> Weight<\/th> 194 grams<\/td> 187 grams<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody> <\/td> <\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tfoot><\/table><\/figure><\/span>About Pro Max<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><\/th> <\/th> <\/th><\/tr><\/thead> <\/th> iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/th> iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/th><\/tr> Thickness<\/th> 8.25 mm<\/td> 8.25 mm<\/td><\/tr> Height<\/th> 163.0 mm<\/td> 159.9 mm<\/td><\/tr> Width<\/th> 77.58 mm<\/td> 76.70 mm<\/td><\/tr> Display<\/th> 6.9″ (174.06 mm)<\/td> 6.7″ (169.98 mm)<\/td><\/tr> Weight<\/th> 225 grams<\/td> 221 grams<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody> <\/td> <\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tfoot><\/table><\/figure><\/span>iPhone 16 Display<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>Micro-lens technology could be used in the standard OLED displays to minimize power consumption and boost brightness. MLA, or micro-lens arrays, use a regular grid of billions of lenses inside the screen to lower internal reflection. Visual brightness is increased by the reflected light, while power usage remains unchanged.<\/p>
The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will both have LTPO displays in addition to being bigger. What does this signify? Like other pro versions released since the iPhone 13, these screens have a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, which enables far smoother scrolling and an overall more satisfying user experience. A significantly higher peak brightness of about 2400 nits, is another possibility to compete with the Pixel 8 series.<\/p>
<\/span>iPhone 16 Camera\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>An upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens in iPhone 16(pro models), would enable better photos in low light. It would probably work similarly to the 48-megapixel Wide camera, which combines data from four pixels into one “super pixel” for improved image quality through pixel binning.<\/p> <\/figure><\/p>
Along with enhancements for the telephoto and ultra-wide camera lenses, the 48-megapixel wide-angle camera expected in the iPhone 16Pro Max is rumored to have an eight-part hybrid lens made up of two glass components and six plastic elements.<\/p>
Instead of being exclusive to the larger Pro Max, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max may also have 5x Telephoto lenses in 2024.<\/p>
<\/span>Planned Haptic Buttons Can Finally Come!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>Apple had originally planned to replace the physical volume, power, and mute buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro models with solid-state ones. However, the functionality was removed from the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max because of “unresolved technical issues”.<\/p>
So it is quite possible to see solid state buttons in the iPhone 16 series. And if that occurs, the unified button design that was speculated to be present on the iPhone 15 Pro models might also be rolled out.<\/p> <\/figure><\/p>
Solid-state buttons function similarly to physical buttons, but when you contact one, there isn’t a real button press. Rather than the button moving, a haptic vibration is employed to simulate a button press and give you the impression that you are pressing down.<\/p>
Another possibility is that Apple may continue to employ conventional buttons for power and volume control while utilizing solid-state technology for the Action Button and a new capacitive button.<\/p>
<\/span>Action Button<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>The Action button, which can take the place of the conventional mute switch, has several uses, including turning on the camera, starting a shortcut, switching between focus modes, utilizing Translate, turning on and off silent mode, and more.<\/p> <\/figure><\/p>
<\/span>iPhone 16 Storage<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>In terms of storage, this upcoming series might not see any major change. Instead, it will cling to previous versions. So based on previous models, you can see the expected storage below,\u00a0<\/p>
Expected storage capacities for basic models:<\/p>
