Not long ago, Apple held a new product conference in the autumn and officially released the new iPhone 15 series. The iPhone 15 series includes iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, a total of four models.
Although the new iPhone 15 series has just been released, the revelations about the next iPhone 16 series have also begun to appear. According to a report by Sina Technology today, "According to Apple product blogger Majin Bu, the iPhone 16 standard version will have a 120 Hz refresh rate (which is consistent with previous revelations by Apple bloggers such as Kosutami), and the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 'side screen button' on the side, tentatively named 'View Button'." ”
According to the revelation, the iPhone 16 standard version model will usher in a high brush screen. It is reported that the iPhone 13 Pro released by Apple in September 2021 supports screen high brushing for the first time, but the screens of the three consecutive generations of standard models of iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 are stuck at a 60Hz screen refresh rate. In addition, the iPhone 16 Pro model will be equipped with a new "side screen button" on the side.
The report also mentioned that according to multiple revelations, the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro is 6.3 inches. For reference, the iPhone 15 Pro has a screen size of 6.1 inches.
According to a previous revelation by digital blogger @Digital Chat, the change point predicted by the iPhone 16 series industry is the virtual solid-state button, and the smart island design on the front of the screen should continue to be used in next year's iPhone series.
That is to say, the previously highly anticipated under-screen Face ID design will not appear in this generation of devices. News from relevant industry analysts also shows that Apple is unlikely to move the Face ID component under the iPhone's display before 2025 at the earliest. The specific revelation also mentioned that due to "sensor problems", the installation time of Face ID under the screen has been postponed to 2025 at the earliest. In terms of image, this year's iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with a 3x telephoto camera, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max provides a 5x zoom with a focal length of 120mm, which makes the image performance gap between the two devices.
However, recent revelations show that next year's iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro models will use periscope lenses. This will allow the telephoto performance of both devices to continue to be consistent. But at the same time, this news also means that the standard version of the new iPhone series still seems to have no such specifications. The image gap between the Standard and Pro versions is still widening.
According to earlier revelations, the standard version of the iPhone 16 will use a vertical camera layout, rather than the diagonal layout adopted in recent generations of iPhones. It is reported that Apple introduced a rectangular rear camera module design in the iPhone 11 series, in which the rear multi-camera combination adopts a vertical arrangement scheme. The subsequent iPhone 12 series also continued this design scheme. In the iPhone 13 series, Apple applied a diagonal arrangement of lens combinations for the standard version and the mini version, and continued to the latest iPhone 15 series.
Based on the current news, the standard version of the iPhone 16 is expected to upgrade to a high refresh rate, while the iPhone 16 Pro has increased the size of the screen and brought an upgrade in terms of images. However, the iPhone 16 series will not be officially launched until next year, and there should be a large error between the current news information and the actual situation, and the corresponding content can be referred to.
