The iPhone 16 series has a new appearance, and the Pro series may adopt a new polished titanium process
Although there are still a few months to go before the release of the new iPhone 16 series, there have been a number of leaks about this generation, and different device exterior design images have been shown.
Now, the latest leaks have once again appeared about the appearance of the iPhone 16 series.
A few days ago, the protective case of the iPhone 16 mobile phone was exposed on the Internet, which once again confirmed the previous rumors that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be designed with a vertical rear camera module.
Judging from the renderings that appeared on the Internet before, the new camera has a dual camera combination on the rear, but the position of the lens assembly and flash has been adjusted. The two rear cameras are vertically arranged, and the rectangular rear camera module is eliminated in favor of a "pill"-shaped module design, and the flash assembly is placed outside the rear camera module.
It is reported that this design adjustment may be to introduce the spatial video recording function to the iPhone 16 for better linkage with the Vision Pro spatial computing device. Spatial video recording requires two shots to be arranged vertically together to ensure accurate calculation of 3D spatial video.
In addition to the new camera module design, the previously revealed iPhone 16 prototype is also equipped with a physical Action button similar to the iPhone 15 Pro, as well as a hidden pressure-sensitive shooting button for landscape shooting.
The overall design of the iPhone 16 Pro series models is similar to that of its predecessor, but there will be new changes in the size of the device.
Multiple leaks show that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have larger displays, increasing from 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches.
As for the reason why Apple adjusted the size of the iPhone, it may have something to do with the fact that Apple will equip the iPhone 16 Pro with a periscope camera.
A previous report from Sina Technology mentioned that "the iPhone 16 Pro models to be released this fall will usher in a major imaging upgrade, with two 48MP sensors for the first time, and only the telephoto lens will remain 12MP." This means that the ultra-wide-angle lens of the new camera will also enter the era of high pixels, and the shooting ability will be greatly improved. ”
In addition, a recent report from Sina Technology also mentioned that the iPhone 16 Pro series models will use improved titanium processing and dyeing processes.
According to reports, this new process will make the appearance of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max smoother and brighter than the iPhone 15 Pro models with a matte treatment. The improved manufacturing process will give a look similar to the glossy stainless steel used in the previous Pro series iPhones, but the new process will also make titanium more scratch-resistant than stainless steel.
It is reported that the matte treatment used in the iPhone 15 Pro makes its appearance much duller than the previous Pro series models. The advantage of this process is that it is not easy to leave fingerprints, and it also reduces the visibility of scratches.
According to other leaks, the iPhone 16 Pro series will be available in new "Space Black" and "Rose Gold" titanium colorways, with "Rose Gold" actually being a gold hue and "Space Black" potentially replacing the existing black titanium colorway.
In addition to mobile phone products, Apple is also expected to bring a new iPad series.
Previous revelations show that Apple is expected to release a new iPad Pro at the end of March or early April this year.
And the latest revelations say that Apple will postpone the release of the new iPad Pro with OLED panel until May this year, and interested friends can stay tuned.
