Like every iPhone release every year, the iPhone 16 Pro series will get the most attention this year with a lot of expected quality features.
After nearly a year and a half of rumors and leaks, many features have been confirmed for the new models. Below, we will quickly review 6 features that are confirmed to be coming to the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro.
Increased screen size: Analyst Ross Young was the first to say that Apple would increase the screen size of the high-end iPhone Pro models this year. Several other reports have since confirmed his claim, so it can be confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase the screen to 6.9 inches. This is a relatively small change, but it opens up a number of other benefits.
A new button is coming: Rumors of a “Capture” button have been circulating for a while. This new button seems to be for cameras and may even function similarly to a DSLR. If the user presses the button halfway, it can lock the focus or exposure.
Periscope lens on all models: One of the most exciting rumors is that the periscope lens will be coming to the iPhone 16 Pro. Currently only available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it seems that all the new generation Pro models will have 5x optical zoom.
Upgraded ultra-wide lens: After adding a 48 MP lens to the main camera, Apple will expand it to ultra-wide sensors. Users' photos will be more beautiful than ever.
Improved battery life: Some leakers are predicting that Apple will increase the battery life of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. After modest battery upgrades over the past few years, iPhone owners are looking forward to not having to charge their phones during the day. Reports claim that the new generation of iPhones will offer the best battery life ever on an iPhone.
Apple Intelligence: With the new A18 processor, Apple will focus more on Apple Intelligence, its recently announced AI platform. While many features won’t be ready until this fall, this will be the generation that truly embraces artificial intelligence.
