Apple recently launched the iPhone 15 series with substantial upgrades across the board. It is now working on the next-generation iPhone 16 series with new features. Rumours suggest the Apple iPhone 16 Pro series will significantly improve with a new modem and camera setup. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming iPhone models.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Will Get New 5G Modem And Cameras
According to analyst Jeff Hu, the iPhone 16 Pro will have Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, an upgrade from the Wi-Fi 6e on previous iPhones. Furthermore, the new iPhones will also get Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 modem for faster 5G download speeds. These improvements should allow the next-generation iPhones to offer better battery life apart from faster Wi-Fi and modem speeds.
Both phones are also expected to get a new 48-megapixel ultrawide sensor, an upgrade from the 12-megapixel sensor. Moreover, the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 12-megapixel tetra-prism lens with 5x zoom, which is currently exclusive to the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. The rumours suggest the iPhone 16 Pro will have these new sensors as Apple plans to increase their dimensions.
The new iPhones will also get a slightly bigger screen with an increase of 0.2 inches on both phones. This will result in a screen size of 6.3 inches on the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches on the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. Analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young have also suggested larger screen sizes in the upcoming iPhones.
These new iPhones will use the Apple A18 Pro Bionic chipset based on the 3nm process paired with 8GB of RAM. This is the same amount of RAM on the current iPhone 15 Pro models.
Regular iPhone 16 Models Will Get Faster Processor
Jeff believes the Apple iPhone 16 base model will get a less powerful version of the A17 chip, and the phone will stick to two camera lenses on the back. It will have the same 12-megapixel ultrawide lens without auto-focus and macro mode support.
However, it will have 8GB of RAM compared to the 6GB on the current Apple iPhone 15. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will get minor upgrades to Wi-Fi connectivity with Wi-Fi 6e and will retain the same 5G modem as its predecessors. The new iPhone models could arrive in September next year, meaning there is plenty of time for specifications to change.
