The classic iPhone release is usually towards the end of the year, specifically September/October. And since Apple release a new phone every year, we know it’s time to start talking about the Apple iPhone 16 which could be hitting our stores in up to 7 month's. Although the iPhone 15 had big changes when it came to aspects like the camera and new buttons, Apple fans were very disappointed with the iPhone 15 release saying there weren't any major upgrades. This time, there has been a lot of anticipation over what we could expect from the iPhone 16 and what new features may be included making people wonder if the iPhone 16 be different.

What we do know is that it can almost be assumed the iPhone 16 will have a variety of phone releases including the iPhone 16 Pro and Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max and that the look of the phone’s cameras may slightly be adapted due to a ‘design rumour’ being released showing us what the exterior may look like, more on this later.

In this blog, we take a look at the rumoured features on the iPhone 16 exploring what we may see in up to 7 month's to see if the iPhone 16 is worth being hyped up.

(Please note: All information in this blog is rumoured. Nothing has been confirmed.)

Will the iPhone 16 have a design change?

When it comes to how the iPhone 16 will look, there has been a lot of talk on this topic with fans believing the phone will adopt a larger screen, especially for the Pro model, which we imagine could be a possibility as Apple are constantly switching up their screen sizes.

WEDNESDAY 3RD JULY 2024 - The iPhone 16 Series have been reported to have an all-new battery design, the return of the action button and will include the additional Capture button on the right side of the phone. There has also been a couple 'leaked' images of the iPhones camera layout, and instead of sporting the diagonal camera design like the iPhone 15, the 16 will take on more of an iPhone 11 look with vertical cameras. We prefer this design, it looks a lot neater because the lens' don't completely take over the back of the phone. 

 

What is new in the iPhone 16 update?

Diving inside the phone past its design, it is said that a faster A-Series chipset has been created for the 16 models which will improve the efficiency and performance of the phone.

The display and screen we can assume will be the OLED option after being on the iPhone for the previous few models. OLED displays are great for getting the best images around, providing a crisp, clear screen with stunning colour abilities. More on the display specs, it was also revealed Apple is debating using micro-lens technology to increase the brightness of its phone screen whilst also reducing it's power consumption. This theory is still up in the air at the moment, as this micro-lens tech has many pros and cons that must be considered. But we will make sure to update you in the future when more is revealed.

THURSDAY 13TH JUNE 2024 - iOS18 has been confirmed for the iPhone 16 at the WWDC 2024. Apple Intelligence (Apples new AI feature) will also feature on the phone which will bring with it, Genmoji, Siri AI, ChatGPT, Image PLayground and much more. iOS18 will be Apples biggest update yet, with plenty of new ways to customise your home screen including removing the app name from the bottom of the icon, changing the colour of an app and putting an app anywhere you want on the screen. 

There is yet to be no announced iPhone 16 price, but we can assume this will be around the same price as previous models. 

 

Now we have taken a look at the interior and exterior of the iPhone 16, let’s have a look at its most important and talked about features…..

 

What is the camera change on the iPhone 16?

Apple fans believe a possible change could allow for spatial video recording to be included in Ultrawide and Wide cameras. The zoom options on the iPhone seem to improve yearly also, so could we see a super telephoto periscope camera that will increase that optical zoom ability?

Rumoured iPhone 16 Camera Specs: (AS OF JULY 3RD 2024)

• Vertical dual-camera system.
• 48MP dual main sensor.
• Capture button for camera.
• Ultra-wide camera.
• Telephoto lens.

 

What is the iPhone 16 capture button?

With the introduction of the Action Button on the iPhone 15, it was always evident that Apple would try and outdo this with their new model, and it seems like it be adding a new button. The Capture Button has been mentioned a lot by fans, with plenty online giving their opinion on this new potential we could be seeing.

UPDATE ON TUESDAY 14TH MAY 2024 - The Capture button has been confirmed to be on all upcoming iPhone 16 phone models. It will be located on the right side of the phones and will allow users to swipe left and right on the buttons surface to zoom in and out, letting users bring images to focus by pressing it lightly and activate shutter by pressing harder. The action button will also be on the iPhone 16 also. 

 

New features on iPhone 15:

• Action button
• New titanium back on Pro
• New 48MP camera
• Durable colour-infused glass
• USB-C charging
