iPhone 16 Design:
It is rumored that Apple The tech giant is planning to make some changes to the design of the iPhone 16. For starters, it is expected to switch to a vertical camera layout, similar to that of the iPhone X or iPhone 12, in favor of the diagonal design of its predecessor. The new design is expected to help the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus capture spatial videos.
Apple is also said to be replacing the mute button on standard iPhone 16 models with the action button, which it introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro models last year. Meanwhile, the company could also add a new “Capture” button that would allow users to start recording videos, zoom in and out, or focus on a subject.
Analyst Ming Chi Kuo predicts that the standard iPhone 16 model will be available in five colors: black, green, pink, blue, and white. If true, this would mean that Apple will stop supporting the blue and yellow color variants of the standard iPhone.
iPhone 16 processor:
Numerous reports indicate that Apple will likely use the same A18 chipset across its entire iPhone 16 lineup, allowing AI tasks to be performed directly on the device. However, iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro may differentiate themselves from the standard models in terms of GPU performance and higher clock speeds.
Additionally, the iPhone 16 series is expected to receive a RAM upgrade, going from 6GB in previous models to 8GB.
iPhone 16 Camera:
According to a report from Apple Insider, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will come with the same camera setup as last year. It will reportedly include a 48MP main shooter with an f/1.6 aperture and 2x optical telephoto zoom, and an ultra-wide-angle lens that can take photos at 0.5x. The ultra-wide-angle shooter may receive a slight upgrade, with an f/2.2 aperture instead of f/2.4 on the iPhone 15, meaning the new iPhones could theoretically allow more light to reach the sensor and thus improve low-light photography.
The report also claims that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus could also get support for macro photography for the first time.
iPhone 16 Display and Price:
Apple is expected to keep the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED displays with a 60Hz refresh rate for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The standard variants are also expected to retain last year’s price tag of around $800.
However, a report from Macrumors suggests that Apple could be using microlens technology to improve brightness and reduce power consumption on the iPhone 16.
