It is said that the increased body size and optimized internal structure can provide higher optical zoom performance, which means that Apple will expand the quad prism 5x telephoto lens, which was first applied to the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, to the regular Pro version, which is also in line with previous rumors.
He added that the increase in the size of the machine is almost imperceptible compared to the current iPhone 15 Pro model, and its bezels are still wider than the Samsung Galaxy S24. He explained that the iPhone 16 Pro's power consumption has improved dramatically, and that "the iPhone 16 Pro Max will achieve the longest real-world battery life of an iPhone to date."
Last week, it was also reported that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 4,676 mAh battery, which is 5% more than its predecessor, and it is believed that Apple can once again improve the overall battery life of the device. IT Home found that the current Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max advertised battery life is 29 hours, so it is expected that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to exceed 30 hours of battery life for the first time.
Other details about the iPhone 16 Pro include that the device will continue to feature 8GB of RAM, and Apple will use a new titanium manufacturing process to further reduce costs.
According to @MajinBu, Apple seems to be considering merging the entry-level model with the SE series, but that would require a renaming of the new phone, and there is no exact information on this yet, which is questionable.
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro (codenamed Diablo) will have a 6.3-inch screen (6.1-inch for the 15 Pro) and 6.9-inch for the iPhone 16 Pro Max (codenamed Lightning) (6.7-inch for the 15 Pro Max).
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is confirmed to feature a 48Mp Sony IMX903 custom main camera, based on a 1/1.14" super outsole, and also equipped with dual-layer transistor technology with support for 14Bit ADC and DCG, and the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max will use a periscope telephoto lens. 1MG+7P molded glass-plastic module.
Ming-Chi Kuo pointed out that Apple's iPhone 16 Pro models will usher in a major imaging upgrade, with two 48MP sensors for the first time, while the telephoto lens will remain at 12MP. In addition, Kuo also revealed that the iPhone 16 Pro will inherit the dual-fold quadrismatic telephoto lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, while the front camera of the iPhone 17 series models will be upgraded with a 24MP sensor and a 6P lens.
Ming-Chi Kuo also mentioned last year that Apple plans to switch to a stacked rear camera sensor design for the entire iPhone 16 series, which is made by Sony and is expected to be a dual-layer (Photodiode + Pixel) crystal pixel architecture (2-Layer Transistor Pixel).
In addition to this, Apple is also preparing to introduce a new photo button on the iPhone 16 Pro series models. Codenamed Nova, the shooting button will feature capacitive buttons and a force sensor, and Mark Gurman has confirmed that it will be dedicated to shooting video.
In terms of appearance, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will use grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), and the overall appearance has not changed too significantly from the previous generation, but a new colorway should be added considering Apple's convention.
Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu also claim that Apple's iPhone 16 Pro will be powered by an A18 Pro chip, support Wi-Fi 7, and use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem, which can achieve 5G download speeds of 7.5 Gbps.
Digital blogger @Kosutami previously showed off the iPhone 16 Pro's battery and claimed that the series battery is heat-dissipated with graphene and has a capacity of 3355 mAh. In addition, there is also news that the iPhone 16 Pro will use a new battery stacking design, which promises 40W wired charging, and the credibility is questionable.
According to @Majin Bu, the iPhone 16 will be upgraded from the iPhone 15's 3,349 mAh battery to 3,561 mAh, up 6% year-over-year, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max battery will grow by 5% to 4,676 mAh.
Elsewhere, Apple will bring a ton of AI features to iOS 18 and possibly exclusive AI features for the iPhone 16 Pro / Max, after all, these two models will also have exclusive access to the A18 Pro chip. At the same time, since the AI function is to be provided, the new machine also needs to be upgraded in terms of memory performance and storage capacity, so it will provide up to 2TB of storage, but 1TB / 2TB is QLC flash.
