Since the iPhone 11 Pro series introduced its iconic triangular matrix module design, it has won widespread praise for its recognizability, although its aesthetic evaluation varies from person to person. However, this year's iPhone 16 series will show a revolutionary change in the exterior design, eliminating the triangular matrix module of the past. According to foreign media disclosures, the iPhone 16 series will launch a number of new models, in addition to continuing to launch the original four models, two new SE models will be added. The single-camera design of these two SE models is reminiscent of the iPhone XR, which was once widely talked.
According to the information disclosed so far, the iPhone 16 series will introduce two SE models, both of which will have a single-camera design, which is quite similar to the earlier iPhone X. The standard model, on the other hand, shifts to a vertically arranged dual-camera design, similar to the iPhone 12, raising questions about whether Apple's design innovation has reached a bottleneck. As for the Pro series, its lens layout may shift to a portrait arrangement, a design reminiscent of the Samsung S24 series. If this is the case, it is expected to cause a lot of discussion among fruit fans, after all, Samsung's design is still a hot topic to this day.
In terms of imaging technology, the iPhone 16 Pro series is expected to make another breakthrough. The Pro version will inherit the 15 Pro Max's bi-fold quadrismatic telephoto lens, which supports up to 5x optical zoom, and features a custom 48-megapixel IMX903 main camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. Whether it's photography or video shooting, such a configuration will provide a superior experience and look forward to what it will perform when it is officially launched.
In addition, the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 series will also be increased. In particular, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have an increased battery capacity of 4676mAh, and the officially claimed battery life is expected to exceed 30 hours (video playback mode). At the same time, the storage capacity may also be expanded to 2TB. In the face of these upgrades, the iPhone 16 series is undoubtedly worth looking forward to.
It is reported that the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models will increase. The screen size will increase from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches for the Pro version, while the screen size for the Pro Max version will increase from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches. Although the screen bezels of the iPhone are already very narrow, it is still difficult for most users to operate with one hand. According to supply chain sources, Apple has asked Samsung and LG to provide screen solutions with microlens technology, which helps reduce internal reflections, reduce power consumption, and improve brightness, contrast, and color accuracy.
The industry predicts that Siri and other built-in apps will deeply integrate generative AI technology. For example, Siri, the intelligent voice assistant, will become more precise in understanding user intent and provide richer natural language interaction capabilities. Camera apps may also incorporate AI image generation or editing capabilities, which will undoubtedly bring more surprises and convenience to users.
