Last year's iPhone 15 Standard Edition, if it hadn't been updated to the Dynamic Island design and replaced with a USB-C port, in the eyes of many netizens, it would be silly and indistinguishable from the iPhone 13. Given Cook's skill, it's hard to expect the standard version of the iPhone to usher in a big upgrade in terms of configuration, and many netizens only have expectations for the novelty of the iPhone's appearance.

However, according to media reports, the battery casing of the iPhone 16 series will be replaced with stainless steel from aluminum-plastic film, and the material will be provided by a Chinese supplier. According to the report, the all-steel shell will use a laser welding process, which can improve the service life of the battery, mainly to increase the number of cycles.

根据此前的爆料,iPhone 16电池容量为3561mAh、iPhone 16 Plus为4006mAh、iPhone 16 Pro Max为4676mAh。 作为对比,iPhone 15电池容量为3349mAh、iPhone 15 Plus为4383mAh、iPhone 15 Pro Max为4422mAh。

As can be seen, these new phones have a larger battery capacity as compared to the iPhone 15.

At the same time, foreign media released the latest model photos of the four models of the iPhone 16 series, and the thickness of the MagSafe charging ring of the iPhone 16 series has been reduced. Compared to the iPhone 15 Pro model, the mold of the new iPhone 16 Pro shows that the charging ring is significantly thinner and the outer diameter is also reduced accordingly, so the wireless charging power of the iPhone 16 series may be upgraded to 20W (currently 15W).

Not only that, but there were also revelations earlier, the new machine directly canceled the matrix scheme that has been used since the iPhone 11, and the dual cameras are directly arranged vertically, which is more concise overall. It is reported that this change is to enable spatial video recording, so that the main camera and the ultra-wide angle are on the same level when held horizontally.

In addition, the iPhone 16 series phones will remove the mute lever and add a new Capturebutton button to give feedback to the user in the form of vibration. It is expected that some models may include a new button (perhaps for camera control), but this is not reflected in the spy photos of the model.
