The iPhone 16 is Coming: Five Features That Will Make the Wait Worthwhile

 

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro: Worth the Wait

With the upcoming release of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro just two months

 away, it's advisable to hold off on purchasing a new iPhone 15. Unless you are in

 urgent need of an upgrade, waiting until September will either give you access to

 the latest features or allow you to benefit from reduced prices on existing models.

 Here are five anticipated features of the iPhone 16 that make the wait worthwhile:

1. Bigger Screens

The iPhone 16 is expected to maintain the overall design of the iPhone 15 but will

 introduce notable changes in screen size. According to reliable sources, including

 analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will both have larger

 displays than their predecessors.

iPhone 16 Pro: Expected to feature a 6.3-inch display, up from the 6.1-inch screen of

 the iPhone 15 Pro.

iPhone 16 Pro Max: Anticipated to come with a 6.9-inch display, up from the 6.7-

inch screen of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

These updates will make the iPhone 16 Pro Max the largest iPhone ever released

 and mark the first change in iPhone screen sizes since 2020.

2. Better Battery Life and Faster Charging

The entire iPhone 16 lineup is rumored to have bigger batteries, which translates to

 improved battery life.

Battery Capacities of the iPhone 16:

iPhone 16: 3,561 mAh (up 6.3%)

iPhone 16 Plus: 4,006 mAh (down 8.6%)

iPhone 16 Pro: 3,355 mAh (up 2.5%)

iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,676 mAh (up 5.7%)

Additionally, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the iPhone 16 batteries will have

 greater energy density and will be easier to replace, thanks to a new metal casing.

 Faster charging speeds are also expected, with rumors pointing to 20W MagSafe

 charging and 40W wired fast charging for the iPhone 16 Pro.

3. Capture Button

A new Capture button will be introduced across all iPhone 16 models, located on

 the right side of the phones where the mmWave 5G antenna currently sits. This

 touch-sensitive button will allow users to:

Swipe left and right to zoom in and out.

Press lightly to focus images.

Press firmly to activate the shutter.

4. Apple Intelligence for Everyone

Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI features announced at WWDC, will be available

 across the entire iPhone 16 lineup. These features, initially exclusive to the iPhone

 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, will be enabled by a new chip and increased RAM in

 the iPhone 16 models.

5. Camera Upgrades

Significant camera improvements are expected for the iPhone 16 Pro models.

 Notably:

5x Zoom Tetraprism Camera: The iPhone 16 Pro will adopt the 5x zoom tetraprism

 camera currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

New Sony Sensors: Both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will use new Sony

 sensors for the main camera.

48 MP Ultra-Wide Camera: A substantial upgrade from the current 12 MP ultra-wide

 camera, as reported by analyst Jeff Pu.

Wrap Up

The iPhone 16 lineup is anticipated to be announced and released in September.
