With the Apple event just around the corner, tech enthusiasts and Apple fans alike are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the iPhone 16 series. As the date approaches, rumours and leaks are intensifying, giving us glimpses into what Apple might have in store for this new generation of iPhones. Let’s dive into the latest buzz surrounding the iPhone 16, including its anticipated price, models, design, and other key specifications.


According to industry insiders, the iPhone 16 lineup is expected to feature significant upgrades, especially in the display and camera departments. Display analyst Ross Young predicts that the iPhone 16 Pro models will boast Apple’s first-ever under-display Face ID, further enhancing the screen-to-body ratio. Additionally, rumours suggest that all models will adopt a USB-C port, following the trend set by the iPhone 15 series to comply with EU regulations.


While the iPhone 15 introduced Dynamic Island across all models, the iPhone 16 is rumoured to take things a step further with a new ProMotion display technology that could offer smoother scrolling and faster response times. As with any pre-launch speculation, it’s essential to keep in mind that these details are based on leaks and should be taken with a grain of salt until Apple’s official reveal.

iPhone 16 Models, Designs, and Size Options

The iPhone 16 series is expected to build upon the design language introduced with the iPhone 14 and 15, with some exciting changes. Leaked CAD files suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have slightly larger displays than their predecessors, thanks to slimmer bezels and the rumoured under-display Face ID. The standard iPhone 16 models are expected to retain the familiar 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes.


Here’s what we’re hearing about the iPhone 16 sizes:

  • iPhone 16 – 6.1-inch display

  • iPhone 16 Plus – 6.7-inch display

  • iPhone 16 Pro – 6.3-inch ProMotion display

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max (Ultra) – 6.9-inch ProMotion display

iPhone 16 Colors

Colour is always a major consideration when choosing a new iPhone, and Apple is rumoured to introduce some fresh options with the iPhone 16 series. The standard iPhone 16 models could be available in vibrant shades like pastel blue and mint green, while the Pro models are expected to debut in a sophisticated deep navy and a new titanium finish.

iPhone 16 Camera Specifications

Camera upgrades are always a highlight of any new iPhone launch, and the iPhone 16 is no exception. Rumours suggest that Apple will introduce a new periscope lens exclusive to the Pro Max model, offering up to 10x optical zoom without sacrificing image quality. Additionally, all iPhone 16 models are expected to feature larger sensors for improved low-light performance and faster autofocus, making them ideal for both casual photographers and content creators.

A18 Chip

Powering the iPhone 16 series will be Apple’s new A18 Bionic chip, which is rumoured to be based on a 3-nanometer process. This chip is expected to deliver significant performance and efficiency gains, particularly in AI-driven tasks and graphics rendering. The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are likely to stick with the A17 chip, while the Pro models will exclusively feature the A18, making them the go-to choice for power users.

Other Rumors – Release Date and More

Apple has confirmed a product launch event at its headquarters in California on September 9, 2024, where it will unveil the iPhone 16 along with other new devices. The iPhone 16 series is expected to be available for pre-order shortly after the event, with a full release anticipated in mid-September. In addition to the shift to USB-C, all models are rumoured to support Wi-Fi 7 for faster wireless connections and better battery performance. The Pro models may also see an increase in RAM, potentially reaching 12GB, to handle more demanding tasks and advanced features like augmented reality.
