Although we have the new iPad Air 2024 and iPad Pro M4 presented this week so recent, Apple still has a lot of repertoire for 2024. As far as products are concerned, the iPhone 16 are the stars of the year. They will be presented in September as usual, but we already have a good handful of specifications leaked in advance.
Obviously, nothing is official. However, the main leakers have been obtaining information that they have published and in this post we compile the most notable ones. From design changes to battery capacities. All changes that, more or less profound, will be notable when the four new iPhone 16 debut.
The biggest changes to the main features of the iPhone 16
If we had to divide an iPhone into four blocks, those would be design, processor, battery and camera. Perhaps with a fifth for the price, although we fear that it is impossible to predict at this point. Therefore, we review what are the main changes that are coming to the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.
iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus
- Design: Without being a radical change either, the back of these iPhones will undergo changes in the camera module section, moving to a horizontal arrangement. On the side they will receive the action button that until now had been exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro.
- Processor: After two generations of bringing the chips from the previous ‘Pro’ version to this range, Apple will implement a new chip in the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, the A18. It will be a 3 nanometer processor with improvements aimed at executing artificial intelligence locally.
- Battery: 3,561 mAh and 4,006 mAh are the filtered capacities for the batteries of these devices, with the 16 being slightly higher compared to the 15 and the 16 Plus slightly lower compared to the 15 Plus.
- Camera: Except for surprise, the main and wide-angle camera of these terminals will remain essentially the same as the previous ones, although they do aim to have brighter sensors and spatial video recording functions.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
- Design: They will remain with a similar design to previous generations, perhaps less thick, but broadly identical. The diagonal of its screens will grow by 0.2 inches, reaching 6.3 and 6.9 inches respectively. A new button is expected on the right side with camera functions and also a new range of colors.
- Processor: If the A18 is the chip of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, for these we would have an A18 Pro, an improved version of the one that could finally go beyond the 8 GB of integrated memory and with a neural engine much more capable of AI thanks to their increase in cores (they currently have 16).
- Battery: Of all the new iPhone 16s, the ‘Pro’ aims to be the one with the lowest capacity battery with 3,355 mAh, while the ‘Pro Max’ would reach 4,676 mAh. iOS 18 and the A18 Pro are expected to optimize everything to the maximum so that they are efficient and provide good autonomy. What is not expected is an improvement in fast charging, which would remain limited to just 25 W.
- Camera: Apart from greater luminosity and improved resolution for spatial videos, the great novelty of this edition will be a 48 megapixel wide angle, as well as an improved optical zoom with the long-awaited periscopic lens.
