At this point, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, as although Apple hasn’t revealed anything yet – and probably won’t do so until September – leaks and rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 series have been extensive.
We've heard details about almost every facet of the upcoming phones, from the iPhone 16 colors to the likely iPhone 16 prices, design, specs, and more. As usual, the rumored features are a mix of old and new, but in this article, we’re focusing on the key new things you can expect from the iPhone 16 series.
Below, you’ll find the most significant iPhone 16 features we’ve heard about so far, which aren’t already present on the iPhone 15 series.
Maybe the single greatest overhaul we’re anticipating on the iPhone 16 line is a unused button – and not at all like a few of the highlights underneath, this is a button that will supposedly be show on all four iPhone 16 models.
The ‘Capture’ button, as it’s thought to be called, will supposedly be utilized to take photographs and recordings, but or maybe than essentially being a camera easy route, one report proposes that you’ll be able to swipe over it to zoom in or out, press it softly to center, and press it difficult to take a photo or begin recording.
That might make this button a capable expansion to the camera, and distant more successful than basically setting the Activity button to take pictures, which you can as of now do with the iPhone 15 Master and the iPhone 15 Master Max, as the Activity button needs all the swiping and light squeezing potential of the rumored Capture button.
Reports propose the Capture button will be housed beneath the control key on the right edge of the iPhone 16, and as well as that, there will still be an Activity button on the cleared out – which, concurring to reports, will this time be advertised over the line, or maybe than fair on the Professional models.
There are still a few questions encompassing the Capture button – early reports recommended it might fair be for recordings or maybe than photographs as well, and there’s a few difference over whether it will be mechanical or solid-state, so Apple seem however shock us at the iPhone 16 launch.
One huge – actually – include that has been rumored particularly for the Master models is an increment in screen estimate, with the iPhone 16 Professional said to have a 6.3-inch show (up from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 15 Master), and the iPhone 16 Master Max detailed to have a 6.9-inch screen (up from 6.7 inches on the iPhone 15 Professional Max).
So, in both cases, these phones would be 0.2 inches greater than their forerunners, but maybe more strikingly, this increment would make the Master models bigger than the non-Pro ones, which will allegedly stay at 6.1 inches for the iPhone 16 and 6.7 inches for the iPhone 16 Plus.
This increment in screen estimate might assist broaden the hole between the Professional and non-Pro models, in spite of the fact that it would cruel that if you’re a fan of compact phones, your choices will assist diminish.
Still, a greater screen will likely make the iPhone 16 Professional models prevalent for video seeing, and you'll too have more space for collaboration with apps and recreations. If the bezels are decreased (as has been rumored), as well, at that point the generally impression might not be endlessly greater than that of the iPhone 15 Professional and Master Max.

Tragically, it doesn’t see like the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Furthermore will be in for any critical camera updates, but the Professional models might be.
The iPhone 16 Professional is broadly rumored to be getting the same 12MP 5x optical zoom camera as the iPhone 15 Master Max, which would be an overhaul on the iPhone 15 Pro’s 12MP 3x optical zoom.
On best of this, the iPhone 16 Professional is moreover supposedly getting a 48MP ultra-wide camera, in put of the current model’s 12MP sensor.
But the iPhone 16 Master Max’s cameras might be in for an indeed greater update, with this phone supposedly too getting a modern 48MP ultra-wide camera, and possibly a unused primary sensor, as well, which would adhere at 48MP like final year’s but ought to still provide advancements to photos.

The last enormous unused include we’ve listened talked almost (for the iPhone 16 Master models, at slightest), is an A18 Professional chipset, which will likely give a enormous control boost over the A17 Master found in the iPhone 15 Master and the iPhone 15 Professional Max. This chipset might too be key to fueling a few of the iPhone 16 line’s AI features.
However, whereas the iPhone 16 Master and iPhone 16 Master Max will nearly certainly get an A18 Professional chipset, there’s a tall chance that the standard iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Also will instep get a lesser A18 chipset, or acquire the A17 Master from final year’s Master models.
In either case, this would be an overhaul on the A16 Bionic chipset utilized by the current base models, but it would still take off them slacking behind the Master models on the control front.
