The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to carry a larger 6.3-inch display this year, up from the 6.1-inch OLED panel used on the iPhone 15 Pro. It also will get the Tetraprism periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Not to be left out, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will also feature a larger 6.9-inch display compared to the 6.7-inch screen used on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both Pro models are rumored to sport an ultra-wide camera backed by a 48MP sensor. Both phones could be powered by the A18 Pro application processor (AP) built by TSMC using its second-generation 3nm process node (N3E).
Dickson also released an image of dummy units for the non-Pro iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models showing color options of blue, yellow, pink, green, and black. These units will have a redesigned rear camera module with the lenses mounted vertically instead of diagonally. Apple is making this change so that the cameras on the non-Pro models can be used to create 3D images and videos for the Vision Pro. Both models will be powered by the A18 3nm AP and will be equipped with the Action button.
All four phones will feature the new Capture button that will allow users to zoom in and out of a scene, focus the shot, and snap the picture or start video recording. With the quartet all carrying 8GB of RAM, the entire iPhone 16 line will support Apple’s AI initiative called Apple Intelligence.
