Rumors indicate that Apple is planning to add a new high-spec tier to the iPhone 17 series in 2025. Therefore, 2024 may be the year in which Apple will introduce the iPhone XNUMX series. IPhone 16 Pro The most unique and powerful Max. Meaning that there will be significant improvements and upgrades in the iPhone 16 Pro Max that will make it superior to the rest of the other iPhone 16 models, whether in terms of specifications or design. In this article, we mention five of the biggest changes that are rumored to be coming to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

From iPhoneIslam.com Two iPhone 16 Pro Max devices are shown on a gradient wallpaper, showcasing their home screen with various app icons and an identical wallpaper, highlighting some of the biggest changes in the latest model.

Larger size

From iPhoneIslam.com, a close-up of the top left corner of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, showing three buttons and its impressive 6.9-inch screen size with white arrows indicating the dimensions.

According to many sources, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase in size to become the largest iPhone ever. The size of the device will be 6.9 inches (instead of 6.7), and therefore it will be longer and wider than the iPhone 15 Pro Max. While the thickness will remain the same, the weight will increase slightly due to the larger size. If this information is correct, this will be the first increase in the size of the iPhone since the iPhone 12, but this will be a dilemma for those who prefer small phones.

Bigger screen and thinner bezels

From iPhoneIslam.com, two smartphones with 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch displays, shown side by side, both showing the time 9:41 and the date, Tuesday, September 12. The text “Zeera Wireless Line-Phone 16 Pro Max” appears partially at the bottom.

It's logical to assume that a larger device will have a larger screen. But Apple is not relying only on larger physical dimensions to make the viewing experience more immersive for the iPhone 16 Pro models. It is said that Apple will use “Border Reduction Structure (BRS)” technology. This technology allows for a more efficient arrangement of electronic circuits and filters under the screen; Therefore it does not take up more space.

Thus, thanks to this compact arrangement of components under the screen, Apple can reduce the bezel space around the screen to a minimum, providing more space for the screen itself within the same external dimensions of the phone.

Last year, Apple reduced the size of the screen bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro models using Low Injection Pressure Over-Molding (LIPO) technology.

This technology works by injecting the polymer material used to cover the screen at very low pressure during the manufacturing process. This allows the material to be distributed more precisely within the mold; Resulting in a thinner and thinner bezel around the screen. This allowed the screen edge to be reduced to 1.5 millimeters instead of approximately 2.2 millimeters in the iPhone 14.

In other words, Apple will use new technologies to further reduce the edges of the screen on the iPhone 16 Pro, in addition to increasing the size of the screen itself, to improve the viewing experience.

Larger camera, two 48MP lenses

From iPhoneIslam.com, a close-up view of the Line-Phone 16 Pro Max with triple camera and LiDAR sensor placed in a green box on a wooden surface.

◉ The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to come with a more advanced and 12% larger main camera, which includes a custom 903-megapixel Sony IMX48 sensor with advanced technologies such as:

The design is stacked

In a traditional camera sensor design, the sensor components are arranged in two layers:

◎ Pixel layerIt contains millions of tiny pixels that capture light.

◎ Electronic circuit layer: They contain transistors and other electronic components that process light signals from pixels.

However, this design leads to limited data reading speed and lower light sensitivity, as the electronic circuit layer obstructs light from reaching some pixels, which may lead to a decrease in the sensor’s sensitivity to light.

In addition to the larger size of the sensor, the two separate layers require more space, making the sensor more bulky.

The stacked camera sensor design comes to solve these problems:

◎ Merging layers, where the pixel layer and the electronic circuit layer are combined into one thin layer. This leads to improved reading speed.

◎Increase optical sensitivity, reduce sensor size, and this ultimately leads to better quality images, faster video recording in high resolution (such as 4K and 8K) at high frame rates (such as 120 fps).

◎ Faster autofocus, smaller and thinner camera design.

14-bit digital to analog converter

A 14-bit DAC is an electronic unit used to convert analog signals (such as light captured by a camera sensor) into digital signals that can be processed and stored by digital devices such as smartphones and cameras. The higher the number of bits, the higher the resolution. A 14-bit converter means it can convert an analog signal into one of 16,384 different digital values, providing high-precision digital representation of the signal. Among its advantages:

◎ Improved image quality, as the sensor can capture more accurate color gradations and sharper details.

◎ Wider Dynamic Range Higher resolution means the sensor can record more detail in both bright and dark areas of the image, expanding the dynamic range, and reducing the problem of saturation and loss of detail in high light.

Digital gain monitoring of dynamic range

This technology captures details in both bright and dark areas in the same image, increasing the dynamic range. When lighting is low in part of the image, the technology boosts the signal from pixels in that area to enhance detail. The signal in bright areas is reduced to avoid saturation and loss of detail.

This improves the details of the dark and bright parts of the image. As well as reducing the level of noise and distortion in the final image. Providing more realistic images that appear closer to what the human eye actually sees, especially in high-contrast scenes.

48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera

It is said that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will contain an Ultra Wide camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels, compared to a resolution of 12 megapixels in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The ultra-wide camera provides a wider viewing angle, thus capturing a much larger scene in a single image, and it is high-definition and contains very fine details.

Larger battery capacity, longer life

From iPhoneIslam.com, a rear view of the iPhone 16 Pro Max with a 4,676 mAh battery. The old battery size was 4,422 mAh. Battery life is 30 hours, which introduces several changes to improve performance.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will use battery cells with a higher energy density, containing more energy in the same volume compared to current cells. That is, using batteries of the same size, but with a longer life.

Early rumors also indicated that both iPhone 16 Pro models will use stacked battery technology, which places battery cells in stacked layers instead of a single layer. This increases the overall capacity of the battery, extending its life.

According to rumours, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a battery life of at least 30 hours, compared to 29 hours in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Therefore, by using denser battery cells and stacked battery technology, Apple will be able to increase the battery capacity and extend its lifespan in the iPhone 16 Pro, with the ability to reach more than 30 hours for the Pro Max model, without the need to increase the battery size.

The main idea is to improve battery efficiency through new technologies that add more power and capacity without significantly increasing the size.

More storage capacity, more terabytes

From iPhoneIslam.com, a promotional graphic for the iPhone 16 pro showing off the device's major upgrades, including the side and rear camera design.

According to a rumor from Korea, Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models will be available with a new maximum storage capacity of 2TB, which will put them on par with the iPad Pro. The move is said to be a result of Apple's recent shift to denser QLC NAND Flash memory for high-storage models. Apple's use of nano-QLC memory may allow it to fit more storage into a smaller space and is less expensive than the triple-level QLC memory used by current iPhones.

For more details:

QLC NAND Flash is a type of storage memory, and the letters “QLC” stand for “Quad-Level Cell,” meaning that each cell in this memory can store four levels of data, that is, four bits of data. Compared to triple-level memory (TLC), which stores three bits per cell, and dual-level memory (MLC), which stores two bits per cell. This means that QLC can store a larger amount of data in the same space.

This type of memory is also less expensive, and is used in many storage devices (SSD) in computers, smartphones, tablets, and external storage devices.

It also delivers sufficient performance for many everyday applications and general uses.

In brief, QLC nanoflash memory is a type of storage memory that offers large capacity and a lower cost per gigabyte, making it suitable for storing large amounts of data.
