MacRumors has released some early details/rumours on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

  • Larger 6.3" and 6.9" Sizes
  • New "capture" button
  • Solid-state volume button
  • 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens
  • Faster A-series chip
  • Wi-Fi 7

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will increase in size, and this will be the first size update we've had in several years. The iPhone 16 Pro will measure in at 6.3 inches (up from 6.1), while the Pro Max will measure in at 6.9 inches (up from 6.7). The standard iPhone 16 models will not change in size.

Apple is designing new A-series chips for the iPhone 16 Pro models, built on the latest N3E 3-nanometer node. We could see some improvements to efficiency and performance, but we haven't yet heard details on just what we can expect.

Capacitive volume buttons, power button, and Action Button could be added to all four iPhone 16 models, and there's also rumored to be an extra mystery "Capture" button for taking photos and videos.

This roundup contains early rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro models, and there is still plenty of time for Apple to change its plans, so information here may shift as Apple updates the design of the upcoming iPhone models.

Note that this roundup focuses on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. For an overview of all iPhone 16 models, including the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, we have a separate roundup.

Size Updates​

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to have larger display sizes, according to multiple sources. The iPhone 16 Pro will have a display that's 6.27 inches in size (rounded to 6.3), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to have a display that's 6.85 inches in size (rounded to 6.9).

With the increase in display size, the dimensions of the iPhone's body will also increase. Both models are expected to be taller and wider than the iPhone 15 Pro models, and while thickness will remain the same, the weight will increase slightly due to the larger size.

Display Technology​

The iPhone 16 models are expected are expected to adopt new micro-lens OLED display technology for improved power brightness and reduced power consumption, which could bring an improvement in battery life.
 
Still rocking an iPhone 12. Guess I’ll wait for the 16.

Same but the charging port is getting a bit iffy. Was planning on getting a 14... then a 15 and now I'm gonna have to wait for a 16 and eventually pick up an 18 at this rate.
 
Im on the Xs, desperately need a new phone. The battery is gone and back glass is cracked. Will try and push this phone till the 16 comes out.
 
Just not gonna help when I'm out with a backpack...
