1. Larger display
The design of the iPhone 16 is expected to be largely the same as the iPhone 15, but according to Ross Young , a display supply chain consultant with more than 25 years of experience in the display industry, the iPhone 16 Pro will have a slightly increased display aspect ratio.




The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to grow from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro to 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to grow from 6.7 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro to 6.9 inches. If these predictions are correct, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the largest iPhone ever to have a display, marking the first time the iPhone's display size has increased since the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max were released in 2020.

◆2: Increased battery capacity and improved charging speed
It has been reported that the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 series will be larger, and it is rumored that the capacity will change from the latest model iPhone 15 series at the time of writing as follows: 9to5Mac reports that only the iPhone 16 Plus will have a reduced battery capacity, but the reason for this is unknown.

・iPhone 15 (3349mAh) → iPhone 16 (3561mAh): 6.3% increase
・iPhone 15 Plus (4383mAh) → iPhone 16 Plus (4006mAh): 8.6% decrease
・iPhone 15 Pro (3274mAh) → iPhone 16 Pro (3355mAh): 2.5% increase
・iPhone 15 Pro Max (4422mAh) → iPhone 16 Pro Max (4676mAh): 5.7% increase

There are also rumors that the batteries in the iPhone 16 series will have a higher energy density and will use technology to make the battery easier to replace in order to comply with EU regulations.

In addition, it has been reported that the iPhone 16 may support faster charging speeds than before. The iPhone 15 can be charged at 15W with a MagSafe charger and 27W with a USB-C cable. However, the iPhone 16 Pro will be able to charge at 20W with a MagSafe charger and 40W with a USB-C cable, which could significantly increase charging speeds.

◆3: Capture button
According to a report from The Information, all iPhone 16 models will be equipped with a new capture button for the camera. The capture button will be added to the right side of the iPhone and will be touch-sensitive. Swiping the capture button left or right will allow you to zoom in and out of the camera, pressing it lightly will allow you to focus on the subject, and pressing it firmly will allow you to take a picture.

◆4: Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence, the personal AI announced by Apple at WWDC24 held in June 2024, is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max for existing iPhones. However, it is expected that Apple Intelligence will be available on all models in the iPhone 16 series.

◆5: Camera upgrade
Multiple sources have reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will feature a 5x zoom tetraprism camera that was previously only found on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and this has been corroborated by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who specializes in highly reliable Apple-related information.

Kuo also reported that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will use a new Sony camera sensor for the main camera, while another analyst, Jeff Poo, reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will use a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Note that the iPhone 15 Pro's ultra-wide-angle camera is 12 megapixels, so if this is realized, it will be a significant evolution of the sensor.
