This new button could be customized for different shortcuts. Furthermore, Apple may add a new Capture button to the iPhone 16 series, serving as a physical shutter button for capturing photos and videos.
This button may be located on the right side of the device.
iPhone16 Battery and Other Features
Rumors suggest that Apple may improve the battery life of the iPhone 16, with a 3,561mAh battery compared to the 3,349mAh in the iPhone 15. However, the iPhone 16 Plus model might have a slightly smaller battery at 4,006mAh, down from the 4,383mAh in the iPhone 15 Plus.
iPhone 16 Cameras
Apple is expected to include a dual-camera setup in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, similar to the vanilla iPhone 15 models.
The primary sensor may be 48-megapixels with an f/1.6 aperture, along with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with an f/2.2 aperture for better low-light performance.
For selfies and video calls, there may be a 12-megapixel front camera. Additionally, the non-Pro iPhone models may support macro photography for the first time.
iPhone 16 Display
When it comes to the display, the standard iPhone 16 series is expected to have a similar display setup as the previous model.
The iPhone 16 model may have a 6.1-inch display, while the Plus version could have a 6.7-inch screen. Both models are likely to have a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate.
However, there are rumors suggesting that Apple might introduce improved display technology with the standard iPhone 16 models.
iPhone 16 Performance and Operating System
The new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are said to be powered by the Apple A18 chipset, which will offer better performance and improved AI capabilities compared to the iPhone 15, which had an Apple A16 chipset.
Apple may introduce two versions of the A18 SoC, with the standard variant powering the regular iPhone 16 and the Apple A18 Pro powering the Pro series.
The integration of Apple Intelligence AI could be a key differentiator between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15, offering features like object detection, AI summary, ChatGPT integration, improved Siri, and more.
