Apple usually launches the new iPhone series in September, and the date of September 10 has been circulated as a possible date for the iPhone launch conference this year, which means that we are only one month away from the launch of the iPhone 16. Similar to the iPhone series 15, this year's lineup is expected to maintain four models - iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, although there are many differences in design and new features to take into account. In mind.
To keep you updated, we have summarized the biggest rumors about the iPhone 16 that we have covered so far on the iPhone Islam website. For more details, you can follow the links dedicated to this matter.
Larger screens (largest iPhone ever)
It is rumored that both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be coming With larger screens, reaching 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches, respectively. For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are equipped with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens, respectively. The new screen sizes will be the largest ever for iPhones.
Vertical camera design (iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus)
The basic models of the iPhone 16 will feature Vertical arrangement of the camera With a raised camera plateau shaped like a medicine capsule, instead of the diagonal arrangement of the camera as in the iPhone 15. The new camera bump will contain two separate rings for the wide and ultra-wide cameras. The vertical camera design is expected to allow spatial video recording, which is currently limited to the iPhone 15 Pro models.
Battery changes (all iPhone 16 models)
Rumors indicate that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature With larger batteries From their predecessor, although the iPhone 16 Pro and not the Max may see a greater improvement, while the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Plus may decrease. It is expected that the iPhone 16 will receive a 6% increase compared to the iPhone 15, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will receive a 5% increase, and the iPhone 16 Pro will receive a 9% increase. On the other hand, it is rumored that the iPhone 16 Plus will see a 9% decrease in battery capacity. On the other hand, Apple may also use stacked battery technology to increase power density and extend battery life across all models.
Capture button (new camera capabilities)
All iPhone 16 models will feature Capture button New dedicated to taking photos or recording video. The button will add features such as the ability to zoom in and out by swiping left and right on it, as well as focus on the photographed subject with a light press, and start recording with a stronger press. The capture button will be located on the lower right side of the iPhone 16, and will replace the mmWave antenna in American iPhone models, with the antenna moved to the left side of the device below the volume and action buttons.
Upgraded ultra-wide camera lens (iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max)
The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to feature a lens Camera Enhanced 48MP ultra-wide lens, this allows it to capture more light, resulting in improved images when shooting in 0.5x mode, especially in low-light environments. This also means that iPhone 16 Pro models should be able to capture 48-megapixel ProRAW photos in ultra-wide camera mode. These images retain more detail in the image file for more editing flexibility, and can be printed at large sizes. It is also rumored that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a larger main camera thanks to a custom and advanced 903-megapixel Sony IMX48 sensor.
Super zoom camera (iPhone 16 Pro Max)
The iPhone 16 Pro Max may be the first phone to feature With a periscope camera Ultra-telephoto periscope to dramatically increase optical magnification. The term “ultra” or “ultra-telephoto” usually refers to cameras with a focal length of more than 300mm. The current telephoto lens is equivalent to a 77mm lens, so if this information is accurate, there could be a noticeable increase in zoom capabilities.
Super-telephoto cameras are often used for sports and wildlife photography, but the extremely soft backgrounds they produce also make them useful for portraiture, provided there is sufficient distance between the subject and the photographer.
Faster Wi-Fi support (Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7)
The iPhone Pro models are expected to get Wi-Fi 7 technology, allowing data to be transferred across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands simultaneously. This should result in faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and a more reliable connection. With technologies like 4K QAM, Wi-Fi 7 is expected to deliver peak data transfer speeds of over 40 Gbps, 4x faster than Wi-Fi 6E.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are rumored to support Wi-Fi 6E, which works with the 6GHz band, enabling faster wireless speeds and reduced signal interference.
New A18 processors (all iPhone 16 models)
The new A18 Pro processors are expected to be manufactured on the second generation 3nm technology, known as N3E. According to rumors, all four iPhone 16 models will be equipped with A18 processors, but Apple may distinguish between standard models and advanced models, and may even call them A18 and A18 Pro.
It makes sense for all four iPhone 16 models to contain the same A18 chip due to the AI features scheduled to launch in the iOS 18 update. Apple's intelligence requires high-performance processors to run the AI features on the device itself.
At the moment, only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are able to use Apple's intelligence.
5G modem from Qualcomm (iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max)
Apple is expected to use Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X75 communications modem in its Pro and Pro Max models. The Snapdragon It features faster download and upload speeds, so you can upload and download data more quickly on 75G networks, faster than used in the iPhone 5 models.
The modem chip also takes up 25% less space inside the phone, which could allow for other larger components such as the battery. It is said to consume up to 20% less power which may help improve battery life.
The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to retain the Snapdragon X70 modem.
In short, this means that the iPhone 16 Pro models will have a faster and more efficient connection to 5G networks, while the basic models will retain the current modem.
Quad prism lens (iPhone 16 Pro)
Both iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to feature With 5x optical zoomIt is currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The quad-prism lens system features a “folded” design that allows it to fit inside a smartphone, allowing up to 5x optical zoom and up to 25x digital zoom. In contrast, the smaller iPhone 15 Pro is currently limited to optical zoom of up to 3x, which is in line with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. To explain how these lenses work:
The quad-prism lens system (or tetraprism) is an innovative technology used by Apple to achieve high optical zoom in the iPhone without the need for a large lens protruding from the phone. Here's how it works:
“Folded” design: Instead of placing the lenses in a straight line as in traditional cameras, the light path is “folded” inside the phone.
The light enters the camera, then reflects off a 90-degree mirror, then passes through several lenses inside the phone, and finally, reaches the sensor.
This design allows for a longer light path inside the phone, which achieves greater magnification without the need for a lens protruding from the phone.
Thus, the phone can achieve optical zoom of up to 5x while maintaining a slim and compact size.
In short, this technology allows Apple to include high zoom capabilities in a thin phone, which was previously difficult without making the phone thick or adding a large camera bump.
Micro-Lens technology (more efficient OLED displays)
Apple is said to be considering using Micro-Lens technology to maintain or increase the brightness of OLED screens in iPhone 16 models, with the possibility of reducing their power consumption.
In traditional OLED displays, part of the light produced by the screen is reflected internally and does not reach the user's eyes. To solve this problem, Apple places a very thin layer of small lenses or Micro-Lens (in the millions) over the screen that captures the light that would otherwise be reflected internally and redirects it towards the user's eyes. As a result, the screen either appears brighter without consuming more power, or it maintains the same brightness level but consumes less power.
In short, this technology makes the screen make better use of the light it produces, resulting in either a brighter screen or a longer-lasting battery.
Action button (iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus)
The iPhone 15 Pro models include an action button, and the standard iPhone 16 models are expected to include this action button. The action button can perform multiple functions like activating the flash, launching the camera, launching a specific shortcut, enabling or disabling focus mode, also using subtitles, turning silent mode on or off, and much more.
40W Fast Charging and 20W MagSafe (both iPhone 16 Pro models)
According to a rumor that has been repeated more than once, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will support 40-watt wired fast charging and 20-watt MagSafe wireless charging. Currently, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models can reach maximum charging speeds of 27 watts with a suitable USB-C power adapter, while official Apple MagSafe chargers and other approved chargers can wirelessly charge iPhone 15 models with a power of up to 15 watts. Increasing the charging speed is expected to balance charging time and increase battery capacity.
Improved microphone (improved Siri)
Apple is said to be planning a major upgrade to the iPhone 16 microphone to improve the Siri experience enhanced with Apple's new intelligence, which will include contextual awareness, semantic indexing which aims to understand and classify information based on its meaning and context, and a deeper understanding of user queries.
As well as controlling applications and being aware of what appears on the screen. Apple's AI ambitions for Siri will rely heavily on improving voice input processing, and the new microphone is expected to provide a significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio.
New thermal design (heat reduction)
Rumors indicate that Apple is working on Thermal system From graphene to the iPhone 16 series, while iPhone 16 Pro models may add metal covers to the battery to reduce temperature rise. Graphene has high thermal conductivity, superior to copper currently used in iPhone heatsinks. Another source has claimed that the iPhone 16 models will be equipped with a “larger graphite sheet” inside the devices’ chassis, to address potential overheating issues. This step may be a response to the overheating problems faced by many iPhone 15 Pro users, which Apple addressed through a software update.
Expanded storage space (both iPhone 16 Pro models)
According to one of the rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be available twice as much storage capacity The maximum capacity compared to the iPhone 15 Pro models, which will increase from 1 TB to 2 TB. This change is said to be a result of Apple switching to high-density quad-level cell (QLC) NAND flash memory for higher-storage models. Apple's use of QLC NAND may allow it to provide more storage space in a smaller space and is less expensive than the triple-level cell (TLC) NAND memory used by current iPhones. But QLC flashes have relatively slower read and write speeds.
Increase memory (iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus)
It has been rumored that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will be distinguished With random access memory (RAM) is 8 GB, which is an increase from the 6 GB of RAM found in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Increasing memory should improve multitasking performance on the iPhone.
Apple hinted that a lot of RAM is needed for Apple Intelligence features.
Upgraded Neural Engine (Enhanced Machine Learning)
The A18 processors in the iPhone 16 will feature an updated neural engine with “significantly” more cores, according to one Taiwanese report. The improved neural engine is supposed to improve the performance of Apple's intelligence features and machine learning tasks. All iPhone 12 to iPhone 15 models include a 16-core Neural Engine. Although there is little difference across these generations, Apple can still improve its performance in future models.
Ultra-thin bezel technology (maximum screen size)
Apple plans to maximize screen size in the iPhone 16 series using new ultra-thin screen bezel technology, according to a rumour. Apple will use Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology to reduce the bezel at the bottom of the screen. BRS technology achieves this by bundling the internal copper wires into a more compact bundle. Apple is said to be planning to apply the Infinity Display technology to all four iPhone 16 models, but the Pro models will have the thinnest bezels of any smartphone, surpassing even the thinness of the screen bezels found on the iPhone 15 Pro.
New brushed titanium finish (iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max)
It is also rumored that Apple will use an improved finishing process for the titanium body on the iPhone 16 Pro models. The new process is supposed to make the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max appear glossier than the iPhone 15 Pro models.
This improved manufacturing process will result in a shiny appearance closer to the highly polished stainless steel used in previous iPhone Pros. However, the new titanium finishing process will be less susceptible to scratches than stainless steel.
Reduced lens flare (less distorted images)
Apple is said to be testing a new technology for coating camera lenses with an anti-reflective material that could improve image quality by reducing unwanted light spots that appear in images as a result of light entering the lens directly, which is known as lens flare. As well as reducing noise known as ghosting, which sometimes appears in images, which is the appearance of multiple or duplicate images of the main object in the image, and usually occurs due to the reflection of light inside the lens.
Apple intends to introduce new techniques to apply coating technology using what is known as atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the process of manufacturing iPhone camera lenses, which is an advanced technology used to deposit very thin layers of materials on a surface, one atom after another. These layers can be one nanometer or less thick, making them extremely fine.
This technology improves image quality, and these layers can protect camera lenses from scratches, corrosion and other environmental damage, as well as improving performance. All this without affecting the sensor's ability to capture light efficiently.
New colors (all iPhone 16 models)
All iPhone 16 models are expected to come in black, white, silver, gray, or “natural titanium” and pink. This indicates that the Blue Titanium option on the iPhone 15 Pro will be discontinued and replaced with a new pink color, which can have a bronze appearance under certain lighting conditions.
Meanwhile, it is said that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will come in black, green, pink, blue and white. Compared to the iPhone 15, this means that the white color will replace the yellow color, with the other colors remaining as they are.

Always distinguished
Integrating artificial intelligence more in terms of hardware or devices is what will make it happen
A real difference for the advanced user who follows and needs such technology, and they are not in the majority.
Many expected features show expansion in specifications and not revolutionary in presentation.
As for me, I will only buy a foldable iPhone for real and tangible renewal.
Hi Suleiman Mohammed, Thank you for your intelligent and thoughtful comment! 👏🏻🧠 I completely agree with you, technical development must include deeper integration of artificial intelligence into equipment and devices. Of course, there is nothing as exciting as waiting for the latest developments from Apple, especially the foldable iPhone. 📱⌛️😉 We follow all the leaks and news on these topics with passion, so follow our blog to get the latest updates! 🌐🍎😊
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
I am confused, even though the iPhone 13 Pro is working at 80% of its capacity to some extent, and it is necessary to move from the 13 Pro to the 16 Pro...or the phone in general to the new Galaxy S Ultra.
I congratulate the author of the article for these details of the upcoming iPhone, as if the device was in his hands. If this information is correct, and a large percentage of it may be correct, I believe that most of the people who will buy it are the group that depends on its external appearance. Apple is well aware of this.
Do you expect Apple to think of a new name this year?
I will remember in the coming years
Apple thought of the name S for the iPhone 3, then the iPhone 4, and after that the iPhone 5
And I gave them a name
S.
This name persists
S to the launch of iPhone 6
After that, I thought of a name
Plus
When the iPhone 7 Plus and 8 Plus were launched
After that, it began to develop and add a new name, which is
Max
When Apple adds the name Max
When the iPhone 10S Max was launched
After that, it began to develop and add the Pro name when it launched the iPhone 11, then the iPhone 11 Pro, then the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The name Max continues and you will not change it until now. We are on the iPhone 15 and the name Max will not change
After that, Apple started with the name Mona
When the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series were launched after that, I thought again about the Plus name, which I have relied on since the iPhone 7.
In the iPhone 14 devices, Apple added the Plus name when it launched the iPhone 14 Plus
The Plus name has continued and will not change from the present time. We are now in 15 Plus
Apple also continues with the Pro name and will not change it to a new name
Do you expect this year, Apple will consider a new name other than Plus and Max?
Was?
Hello world of iOS and technology 📱🌍! Your predictions are already attracting attention, but it is difficult to predict new names that Apple may choose for its devices. 😅 So far, there are no indications that Apple will change its current naming system. But as we know, Apple always loves surprises! 🍏🎁 Let's wait and see what happens in the future!
I read some leaks that the name of the iPhone 6 Pro Max will change to the iPhone 1 Ultra
Brother Mahmoud, I find it an honor for the articles to be detailed in this way every day
It's time to change the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the large iPhone 16 Pro Max, but wait for the second batch because the first batch always has problems and comments. Thank you.
Hi Mahmoud 😄, It seems that you are following the “wait for the second batch” rule well. In fact, it is a smart rule that helps avoid any initial problems that may appear in new devices. Enjoy upgrading to iPhone 16 Pro Max when the time is right! 📱😉
There is no distinct creativity or innovation.
Personally, I do not renew my phone except when absolutely necessary, especially after the positions of these companies on what is happening in Gaza.
Maybe I will move to Huawei one day.
