Larger 6.3-Inch and 6.9-Inch Displays to Be Exclusive to iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max

[MacRumors]

Apple plans to introduce larger 6.3 and 6.9-inch display sizes for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max in 2024, but the change in screen size will be limited to the Pro models. The standard iPhone 16 models are expected to feature the same 6.1 and 6.7-inch display sizes that Apple has used for the last several years.

The information comes from display analyst Ross Young, who often shares accurate insights into Apple's plans. Young earlier this week said that the Pro models will have larger display sizes, and he confirmed to MacRumors that these larger screens will be Pro exclusive and will not be coming to the more affordable iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.

According to Young, the 6.3 and 6.9-inch display sizes are rounded up, with additional information on the specific measurements set to come at the Display Week conference in Los Angeles on May 23.

At approximately 6.3 and 6.9 inches, the planned larger display sizes for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be the biggest screens that Apple has introduced to date. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max feature 6.1 and 6.7-inch display sizes, which are also the sizes expected for this year's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

A tweak to the display size suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max could potentially see a design revision, a decrease in bezels, or both.

Kidding.
Not Kidding.
Kidding?

 

[bbednarz]

But i dont wanna carry an iPad mini in my pocket…

 

[cocky jeremy]

This Fall is going to be killer. I get a new iPhone 15 Pro Max and a Google Pixel 8 Pro.

 

[rymc02]

Don't want a bigger phone but if it means I can have larger sensors for all the cameras though it maybe worth it.

 

[Tin Cook]

Does anyone miss the 5.8 inch iPhones?

 

[Born Again]

This isn’t innovation my ass

 

[greenbreadmmm]

I’ll take a 5.6” mini then!

Does anyone miss the 5.8 inch iPhones?

Yes!!!

 

[McWetty]

If they scale up the base pro, a pro mini would fill in nicely.

 

[Tin Cook]

Apple should bring the mini back! The iPhone 14 plus is selling worse than the 13 mini.

 

[McJobs]

Deleted.

If they scale up the base pro, a pro mini would fill in nicely.

Sadly, a pro mini wouldn't work. The camera bump is too big.. But I want one!

 

[MacDevil7334]

Is this going to be squeezing a larger screen in the same chassis by thinning the bezels or are the phones going to get bigger and heavier again? The smaller pro phone is rumored to be almost as big as the max phone from just a few years ago.

I’ll take a 5.6” mini then!

There may be a 5.7" SE.

 

[fbr$]

A huge 6.9" screen but it will not be able to be used in landscape mode like I did in my old 8 Plus 5.5".

 

[slplss]

Apple has to increase the screen size to what before they show us they can fold it??

 

[SevLucas]

I can't fathom a bigger phone than the current max. Guess I'm no longer going to be considered a "Pro" user. Just bring high refresh rate screens to the lower end please.

The existing 5.4” mini is as Pro as you can push it technically, as there simply is not enough physical space for anything else, so definitely no 3rd camera in this body. However, Apple could revive iPhone 11 Pro chassis (5.8”), then everything becomes possible.

 

[Woodcrest64]

I like the Pro camera features but really do wish there was a smaller option than the current 6.1 and this rumoured 6.3" size.

With the iPhone 15 rumored to have the smallest bezels ever on a smartphone, I don't think there is much room left to squeeze a larger screen on a similar sized device.

 

[Tin Cook]

Yeah, 5.8 would be nice to have again.

 

[Zaft]

Hopefully actual size is same as current ones with redeuced bezel. I really don’t want a bigger phone than my current 12PM.

Highly unlikely, as SE has always reused the previous designs and we never had a 5.7” iPhone before.
