Kuo: Next Year's iPhone 16 Pro to Get Larger Screen and Periscope Lens

[contacos]

To be fair, what do you think people do more with their phones: make calls, or take photos?

I personally never make a phone call unless I have to call my mum or complain about something to a customer service representative. Photos I take every day. The way my dog sleeps is too cute!

Bring back the Mini. Some of us don't want a giant screen.

You tell 'em! I'm 100% with you.

Have you picked up a 14 Pro? Man that thing is heavy. A Pro would be my only go-to upgrade, really hoping they can drop some weight out of it and reduce the form factor and I would potentially consider replacing my 13 Mini. I just need a bit more battery life and a better camera, but the size is PERFECT.

So this years' Pro feature will be USB-C? 😅

Along with the pro cord to utilize it.

I cannot fathom how people want even bigger phones than the current line-up.

Yes I like bigger screens but wouldn't mind going back to 6.5"

Yes just my wife for talk and text and rarely my parents. Mostly Internet and yes those occasional pics of Cupcake the Chug

Great, bigger bricks. What happened to making phones thinner and lighter?

So, iPhone 19 will be the 20th anniversary iPhone. I wonder if Apple is gonna skip the number 19 like they did with 9 and just call it the iPhone 20?

I'm annoyed. Wanted to get iPhone 15 Pro (regular size) this year but already sounds better to wait for 16 Pro for feature parity with the Max. I don't upgrade very often so I really like to pick a good year.

Maybe we’ll get more tidbits on the 16 Pro/16 Pro over the summer. The 15 series is already old news.

Both the Pro models should be having the same camera. Hopefully both the models will be getting Periscope zoom next year.

Probably. 9 is unlucky in China.

The whole point of a true zoom lens is that you don't crop the sensor. Cropping isn't true zoom but digital zoom. Which is why beyond 3x on a 12mp it looks like crap.

i agree somehow. but the digital zoom only degrades the pixel-level-quality if you blow the pictures up to a bigger resolution...

example: 24mm main wide lens and sensor on the 14 pro: it's 48mp @24mm and 12mp at 48mm without blowing up these 12mp...

Yeah but if you looked at an image of both at 100% the 12mp image is going to be 75% smaller than the 48mp image. and if you blew it up 4x to match physical size, you'd see those pixels.

 

[r_123]

sure, but: the 12mp 2x is not blown up. a - let's say - 5x @12mp would be blown up.

Makes sense since this year’s Pro is apparently not getting the periscope lens.
