Reference leak information: macrumors, iphone-mania

According to Apple, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, scheduled for release in 2024, will be based on the curved edges and titanium frame introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro, and will feature an increased display size and a new capture button (capacitive capture button) .

As reported by multiple sources, the displays of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max/Ultra may be enlarged from the current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch to 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch, respectively. (It is expected that only the iPhone 16 Pro model may have an increased screen size .)

There are also rumors that the bezels will be smaller. Although this information is not confirmed, it seems that the iPhone 15 series will use the same "Dynamic Island" design.

All iPhone 16 series models will be equipped with an "action button"

Added a "Capture button" to the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max models

All models of the iPhone 16 series, scheduled for release in September 2024, will apparently be equipped with an action button. The action button (push button) was installed on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in September 2023.

In 2024, Apple will continue to include the action button in the iPhone 16 series, and it is expected that the action button will be installed not only on the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max models, but also on the iPhone 16/16 Plus models.

There are also rumors that Apple will add a new "capture button" to the higher-end iPhone 16 models (iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max).

 
What is the capture button? 
Unlike mechanical buttons that can be physically pressed, the capture button is designed to be detected simply by touching it with your finger. The capture button itself is capacitive, and its operation is similar to that of a touch panel.

The capture button will be located on the side, just like the power button on the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max, as shown in the image. In this position, it will be more convenient to use as a shutter button when taking photos with the iPhone 16 held landscape.

Specifically, the "Capture button" on the higher-end iPhone 16 models responds to pressure and touch, allowing you to zoom in and out by swiping left and right with your fingertip. A light press also focuses on the subject, while a firmer press starts recording.

The screen can be hidden when the iPhone 16 is tilted more than 28 degrees, preventing people from looking at it from the left or right. This allows you to enjoy your iPhone without being restricted from work, entertainment, or other activities, even in public places.

iPhone 16 display

Apple may introduce new microlens OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display technology to all iPhone 16 models. The displays in the iPhone 16 lineup will be brighter than the OLED displays in the higher-end iPhone 15 models, and they may also consume less power, potentially improving the battery life of the iPhone itself.

Additionally, all iPhone 16 models are rumored to feature new ultra-thin bezel technology, which will likely minimize the bezel around the bottom of the display.

A micro lens array (MLA) is an optical element that integrates many micro lenses measuring in the μm to mm range. Micro lens arrays have a wide range of applications, including optical communications, lighting, and adaptive optics.

To improve brightness without increasing power consumption, it is important to reduce reflected light. To achieve this, Apple is rumored to be using a uniform pattern of billions of lenses in the microlens array of the iPhone 16 series to reduce reflections inside the panel.

iPhone 16 camera

The camera has evolved even further! Is it similar to the iPhone X?

Image: macrumors

First, the conclusion: the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max (Ultra) is unlikely to have a quad rear camera.

Apple plans to equip the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max with a 5x tetraprism telephoto camera, known as a "tetraprism zoom lens," to enable longer optical zoom.

Of the high-end iPhone 15 models in 2023, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have a 5x telephoto lens, but since the size of the high-end iPhone 16 models in 2024 is likely to be increased, it is highly likely that Apple will equip both the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max with a tetraprism telephoto lens.

Regarding the camera design, an image of the camera chassis for the iPhone 16 has been leaked, as shown in the image on the right. The camera lens on the lower model of the iPhone 16 appears to be vertically arranged, with a design similar to the camera used in the iPhone X.

iPhone 16 chip

Will all iPhone 16 models have the "A18" chip?

Rumor has it that Apple will use the same "A18" chip in all four iPhone 16 models, but the higher-end iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models may use the "A18 Pro" chip.

The upgraded A18 chip will likely have more cores, potentially resulting in significantly improved performance, and is expected to improve AI and machine learning capabilities, with the introduction of generative AI technology. There are also rumors that the die size of the chip will be larger.
