The iPhone 16 series will launch later this year, which is not a secret because everyone knows Apple's new smartphones debut at the end of every year. There have been tons of leaks about the 2024 iPhones (shared by most of the reliable tipsters or reports), revealing details in terms of features and specs of the iPhone 16 series. The battery, camera, display, design and other details have leaked online, giving us a good idea of what to expect from this year's iPhones. The good news is that we will know about the AI integration in iPhones at Apple's upcoming WWDC event on June 10, where it will announce its latest software, including iOS 18. While details about this are scarce, we can look at the leaked features of the iPhone 16 series.

iPhone 16, Pro, Pro Max: Launch timeline?

There is no information on the launch date of the iPhone 16 series because it is too early for Apple to announce it or even think about it. If we go by previous launch events, the latest iPhone 16 series will be announced in September and the sale could take place after a few weeks. We will have more clarity on this in the coming months when we inch closer to the event.

iPhone 16, Pro, Pro Max leaks so far

Big design changes?

-We are seeing multiple leaks online claiming that the 2024 iPhones will receive big design changes. It was just recently tipped that the iPhone 16 series will have a no-button design which was first rumoured for the iPhone 15 series, but that didn't happen because of some issues that Apple was reportedly facing. In essence, instead of the usual physical buttons seen on the sides of iPhones, Apple is said to use capacitive (touch-sensitive) buttons that respond with haptic feedback. These buttons would sense pressure and mimic the feeling of pressing a real button through vibrations created by Taptic Engine motors.

-The regular and the Plus models could get a vertical camera setup in a pill-shaped module. We are likely to see cameras at the back, including a wide and an ultrawide lens. One of the most exciting upgrades could be the introduction of Spatial Video recording to the base models as it is already available for the top-end iPhone 15 Pro models.

-A dedicated Capture button could also be seen on the iPhone 16 series to help people quickly capture videos, as per Bloomberg.

-Apple is also reported to bring the new Action button to standard models of the iPhone 16 series as well, currently limited to the Pro models.

-You will continue to see the new punch-hole design and USB Type-C port on all the iPhone models, similar to last year's iPhone 15 series.

Bigger display with a higher refresh rate?

-The upcoming iPhones are also expected to come with larger displays with even more thinner bezels around them.

-The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are rumoured to launch with larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively. The bigger screens might improve content viewing and gaming experience, but handling with one hand could be a challenge.

-The standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are tipped to maintain their predecessor's screen sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches. These phones might also get support for a 120Hz refresh rate screen, which would be a big upgrade over the previous models.

New flagship chip? Better thermal solution?

-The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are tipped to be equipped with the A18 SoC, while the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max may receive an upgraded A18 Pro chip.

-Under the hood, there could also be graphene pads on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max instead of graphite pads seen inside the existing models. As per leaks, Apple has taken this decision to efficiently transfer heat away from the chip, potentially reducing the handset's temperature.

Bigger battery, faster charging support?

-A recent leak suggests the iPhone 16 will boast a larger 3,561mAh battery, while the iPhone 16 Plus could offer a 4,006mAh unit. Details for the Pro model remain undisclosed, but the iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumoured to arrive with a bigger 4,676mAh battery.

-Reports suggest that Apple could finally consider offering support for faster charging speeds, one of the major areas where Android phones have an edge over iPhones. The leaks claim the iPhone 16 models could support faster 40W wired charging and 20W MagSafe charging, though it's uncertain if this will be realised this year.

Big camera upgrade?

-The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumoured to feature a super telephoto periscope camera with a high level of optical zoom, potentially exceeding the existing 5x range. This would be beneficial for capturing distant subjects like sports or wildlife.

-Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro is said to come with a 5x optical zoom capability like the iPhone 15 Pro Max, thanks to Apple's tetraprism lens system, promising improved zoom without sacrificing image quality.

-Apple is also reportedly exploring new anti-reflective optical coating technology for iPhone cameras to minimise artifacts such as lens flare and ghosting, ensuring better image quality with each shot.

-The iPhone 16 Pro versions are tipped to come with an upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens for better clarity, and detail in shots because it will be able to capture more light. The upgrade is also expected to offer superior performance in low-light conditions. This also suggests that the Pro models could support 48-megapixel ProRAW photos in Ultra Wide mode, which will give users a more detailed image to edit.
