iPhone 16 Pro

Now that the calendar has officially turned to 2024, we can officially say the iPhone 16 is coming “later this year.” In a new investor note seen by 9to5Mac, analyst Jeff Pu has details on what to expect for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro lineups. This includes details on specs, camera upgrades, and more.

The Action button first introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro could get more powerful and expand to new devices next year. A new rumor today claims that all four iPhone 16 models will feature an Action button. Apple is also reportedly planning to add more functionality to the Action button and switch to a capacitive button design instead of a mechanical one.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are coming. Even though we’re still months away from any official announcement, rumors have already started to paint a picture of what to expect. The iPhone 16 Pro lineup will feature Apple’s biggest iPhone screens ever, significant camera improvements, and more.

Head below as we round up everything we know about the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max so far.

Two key Apple suppliers are reported to be in a patent battle over the iPhone 15 Pro Max tetraprism lens. The maker of the periscope lens currently exclusive to the top-end iPhone 15 is seemingly concerned about competition from another Apple lens supplier.

For once, this battle doesn’t directly involve Apple – it’s between Taiwanese lens maker Largan Precision, and Chinese lens company Yujingguang …

Apple analyst Ming-chi Kuo has been suggesting for some time now that we’ll see an iPhone 16 Pro periscope lens in next year’s line-up, rather than it remaining exclusive to the Pro Max model.

In a new note, he’s saying that this is still expected, and will be made possible by improved manufacturing yields on the part of tetraprism lens assembly supplier, Largan …

A few weeks ago, a report revealed that Apple has been developing new battery technologies to increase the battery life of its products. However, this technology is not expected to be ready any time soon. In the meantime, it seems that Apple will adopt a new battery design with a metal shell for the iPhone 16 Pro.

The launch of the two iPhone 15 Pro models is being heralded as a success for chipmaker TSMC, with the A17 Pro chip expected to account for between 4% and 6% of its total sales this year.

Next year, Apple is expected to adopt TSMC’s next-gen chip tech, known as N3E, for the iPhone 16 Pro models. Five other companies are expected to do the same for their most advanced chips …

iPhone 15 has just been launched by Apple, but there are already some rumors about next year’s iPhone floating around the web. This time, analyst Jeff Pu from Haitong International Securities has revealed some details about what to expect from the iPhone 16 Pro. According to Pu, the device will be equipped with a faster 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7, and a new ultra-wide lens on the rear.

Apple extended optical zoom to 5x on the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera system thanks to an advanced tetraprism design. Customers opting for the standard-sized iPhone 15 Pro, on the other hand, maintain 3x optical zoom from prior models. The good news for 5x zoom fans is that both iPhone 16 Pro sizes next year could have tetraprism designs.

Apple will announce the iPhone 15 Pro in less than a month, but the new flagship model won’t have these rumored features. We don’t want to shock anyone, but we think the iPhone 16 Pro will be better than the iPhone 15 Pro. Please, take all the time you need to process that information. We’re here for you.

In a new investor note this week seen by 9to5Mac, analyst Jeff Pu has details on what’s planned for the iPhone 16 Pro.

While all four iPhone 15 models are expected to get the 48MP stacked sensor tech used in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, next year’s iPhone 16 Pro cameras may again pull ahead of the base and Plus models.

A new supply chain report today isn’t specific on the details, but reading between the lines does seem to point to a new Sony tech that roughly doubles the low-light sensitivity …

The iPhone 15 Pro Max coming in less than two months is expected to be the first iPhone to ever feature a periscope camera lens. A new rumor this week, however, suggests that Apple has even bigger plans for next year’s iPhone 16 Pro, which could feature a new “periscope ultra-long telephoto camera.”

Apple has big plans for the display technology used in upcoming iPhone models. According to a new roadmap shared by analyst Ross Young, Apple will increase the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro lineup next year, while also changing the aspect ratio to make the devices taller and more narrow.

We are still months away from the iPhone 15’s expected launch in September, but 9to5Mac has already seen very early information about next year’s iPhone 16 series. 

The iPhone 15 Pro has been widely rumored to be a significant upgrade, and we are expecting to see a new rounder-edged design, a titanium frame, camera upgrades, and of course, USB-C. Next year, however, Apple is reportedly planning to increase the screen sizes of both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple is expected to introduce four new iPhone models later this year: iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max. All four models will get a new design, but the screen sizes will remain the same as today. At the same time, only the 15 Pro Max model is rumored to get a periscope lens for better optical zoom. But according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the regular iPhone 16 Pro will also get a periscope lens in 2024.

Next year’s iPhone 16 Pro models will have the largest iPhone screens ever, according to Ross Young, a display analyst with a solid track record. These models have also been reported to drop the notch in favor of under-screen Face ID.

While Young didn’t initially specify the precise sizes, when one Twitter user rounded up Ross’s figures to one significant digit, he replied that this was “close” …
