It is said that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will come with 2 new color choices, what are they?
The two new colors for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are named Desert Yellow / Desert Titanium and Cement Gray / Titanium Gray.
This information was shared by Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) via his X social media account.
Quoting GSM Arena, Tuesday (20/2/2024), the Desert color variant is claimed to be similar to the gold color on the iPhone 14 Pro, but darker - like desert sand.
Meanwhile, the gray color variant will appear similar to the color that Apple used on the iPhone 6 several years ago.
Since this is still just a rumor, there is a possibility that when the iPhone 16 series is launched it will have a different color name.
Apple itself is still keeping quiet about the existence of the successor to the iPhone 15 series, and it could be that the colors that appear will be different.
Typically, Apple launches the iPhone Pro in four colors, and white and black are the main choices.
If true, then it is very likely that the Blue Titanium and Natural Titanium color options of the iPhone 15 Pro will be replaced with new ones.
Previously, Majin Bu also leaked information about the camera module on the iPhone 16 which will appear in a vertical position.
With this change in camera layout, many people believe this means the iPhone 16 series will have the ability to record spatial video.
Later, this spatial video content can be enjoyed more immersively on Apple Vision Pro devices.
Leaked iPhone 16 Series Features and Specifications
Apple just launched the iPhone 15 series with various improvements and innovations, such as a new design, better cameras and a faster A17 chip.
However, many Apple fans are already curious about the iPhone 16 series that will come in 2024.
What features and specifications will the next generation iPhone offer? The following are several leaks summarized from various sources.
iPhone 16 Supports AI
Apple may be following Samsung and Google, where the company is bringing AI features as a large part of the capabilities in the iPhone 16 series.
Previously, Tim Cook said he would introduce generative AI “later this year” in an earnings call.
It is predicted that these features will be introduced at WWDC 2024 in the summer, before arriving in September.
This leak is reinforced through code in iOS 17.4, suggesting Siri may use AI to summarize, reply to chats in Messages, and AI in applications such as Apple Music, Pages, and Keynote.
Larger Screen Size
One of the most striking changes to the iPhone 16 series is the larger screen size for the iPhone 16 Pro models.
According to MacRumors, Tuesday (13/2/2024), the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.2 inch screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6.8 inch screen--so the iPhone with the largest screen ever made.
Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 16 model will still have the same screen size as the iPhone 15 series, namely 6.1 inches for the iPhone 16 and 6.7 inches for the iPhone 16 Plus.
However, this standard model will also have a more elegant and modern design, with curved edges and a more colorful glass back on this Apple cellphone.
More Advanced A18 Chip
Apple presents more sophisticated and efficient chipsets every year. For the iPhone 16 series, the company is rumored to be using the A18 and A18 Pro Bionic chips.
Apart from that, the A18 chip will also support better AI features, such as facial recognition, image processing and voice assistant.
Meanwhile, for the A18 Pro Bionic, Apple has equipped this chipset with additional capabilities, such as higher graphics processing, faster 5G connectivity and more stable Wi-Fi 7.
iPhone 16 design
On this new iPhone model, the Cupertino-based company is also rumored to be installing additional buttons like the iPhone 15 Pro Action Button.
It is believed that Apple will likely install haptic buttons for the iPhone 16 Pro. There is also a leak for the "capture" button on the right side of the iPhone body.
This button can be used to take photos or adjust the zoom in and out, making it feel like the iPhone is using a camera.
Price and Release Date
So how much will the iPhone 16 series cost when it is launched? For the iPhone 16 series, Apple will return to its normal schedule and launch the iPhone 16 series in September 2024.
For price, it is estimated that the iPhone 16 series will have the same price range as the iPhone 15 series, namely:
iPhone 16 : USD896 more
iPhone 16 Plus: USD 1024 more
iPhone 16 Pro: USD1216 more
iPhone 16 Pro Max: USD1344 more
