iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max Expected Features and Specifications
The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have been the subject of several leaks and rumours, some of which have speculated about their specs and features. Here’s everything you need to know:
Design
Apple could be making subtle changes in the Pro series. The company is reported to be working on a new colour option known as Desert Titanium, which could be a shade of gold or dark brown. Interestingly, the company could include a new Capture button in the iPhone 16 Pro series.
The new button will act as a physical shutter to take photos and videos from the iPhone 16 series. The Action Button will stay and might offer the same level of customisation as present in the iPhone 15 Pro series. Moving on, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max might come with Black, Silver, White, Gray, and Desert Titanium colour options.
Display
The iPhone 16 Pro series could be the first from the Cupertino-based giant to feature Samsung’s flagship M15 OLED panel. The latest panel is designed to offer better brightness and improved performance. The latest iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max could offer up to 1200nits of brightness, up 20 percent over current variants.
More importantly, this year’s iPhone Pro models are also expected to feature slightly bigger displays. The iPhone 16 Pro is reported to pack a 6.27-inch screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max might feature a 6.85-inch display. Moreover, multiple reports suggest that the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro series could feature the slimmest bezels in any smartphone. The iPhone 16 Pro model is reported to feature 1.2mm bezels, while the Max variant could come with 1.15mm bezels.
Performance and OS
Apple’s latest A18 Pro chipset reportedly powers the latest iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The upcoming chipset from the brand is reported to offer more cores coupled with an enhanced Neural Engine, which could further improve the AI performance of both models.
Also, the series will be the first to get the much-hyped Apple Intelligence, which was teased during WWDC 2024. The iPhone models have also been reported to pack graphene sheets for improved thermal management. Moreover, one could expect 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options to be available.
Cameras
Apple is also reportedly upgrading the cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models. The models will feature a triple-camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary sensor and a telephoto lens with 5x digital and 25x digital zoom for iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, respectively. However, we might see a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens as the third camera sensor on both models. On the front, one might expect it to feature the same selfie camera as present in the iPhone 15 Pro series.
Battery and Other Details
The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are reported to pack better battery life as compared to their predecessors. The iPhone 16 Pro model is reported to pack a 3,355mAh battery, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max might offer a 4,676mAh battery. Interestingly, it is also reported that both models might feature better fast-charging support. The handsets might come with 40W wired charging and 20W wireless charging capabilities.
