Skipping the iPhone 15 Pro? Here's What's Rumored for iPhone 16 Pro

[MacRumors]

Are you skipping the iPhone 15 Pro and waiting another year to upgrade? If so, we already have some iPhone 16 Pro rumors for you.

Below, we recap new features rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro models so far:

• Larger displays: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively, according to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants. The devices are expected to have taller aspect ratios as part of this change. By comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively.
• 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature an upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera lens for higher-resolution photos with more detail when shooting in 0.5× mode, according to Jeff Pu, a tech analyst at Hong Kong investment firm Haitong International Securities.
• Wi-Fi 7 support: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will also support Wi-Fi 7, according to Pu. This would enable the devices to send and receive data over the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands simultaneously, resulting in faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 is expected to offer peak data transfer speeds of over 40 Gbps, a 4× increase over Wi-Fi 6E.
• 5x optical zoom on Pro model: The iPhone 15 Pro Max's tetraprism lens system with 5x optical zoom will expand to both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

iPhone 16 Pro models should launch in September 2024, so there is still plenty of time to go, and additional details will surface over the coming months.

Also A18 Pro based on N3P.

Wonder when or if Apple will have satellite calling and texting like the competition.

 

[George Dawes]

I’d prefer wider not taller , makes it easier to type

Wasn't the 16 Pro also rumored to not have a dynamic island but instead a punch hole?

*waits for the article titled

"Skipping the iPhone 16 Pro? Here's What's Rumored for iPhone 17 Pro"*​

Don't tempt me.

 

[lovehateapple]

All good reasons to not buy a 15 Pro Max and wait another year!

Ross Young revised his chart later on:

iPhone 15 lineup is third from the left. iPhone 16 lineup is fourth from the left. No changes next year.

 

[Zorn]

Even larger screens...great. The 6.1" is already too big. Tablets already exist for people who want massive screens.

Thanks for calling it “rumors” in the headline vs “what we know”…
I hope that list will grow at least 10-fold as at this point, none of those are worth it, for me

 

[Risco]

Larger screen would be great. Max is too big and the Pro just a little too small.

 

[corinthos]

Your 15 PM is already yesterday's news lol

 

[Joe Rossignol]

Making articles for the sake of making articles I see.

I generally like to stay employed vs. unemployed.

Larger displays: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays

Stop, Apple! Please! 6.1” is enough.

 

[returnZero]

I totally fancy that. 48mp will reasonably improve cartoonish look of the photographs that the current ultra wide lens proudly produces

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Glad I got the last year of 6.7" then. That's my limit. I'll drop to 6.3" in the future.

 

[redbeard331]

We welcome the larger screens, and an ultra model next year for us extremists.

He walked that back later saying it's delayed at least a year.

Below, we recap new features rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro models so far:
Larger displays:

• Larger displays
• 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens
• Wi-Fi 7 support
• 5x optical zoom on Pro model

I'm going to add a few more:

• Ability to charge another iPhone without needing a USB-C cable
• USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s on 16/16 Plus models (special and still sold separately higher spec USB-C required), not just 16 Pro / 16 Pro Max
• Capacitive Haptic buttons

It’s just fantasy

*goes back to Apple Store to return my 15 Pro Max 😭*

Will hole punch be called Dynamic Islet?

 

[cardfan]

Wake me up when it's about iphone 18. Got rid of the edges, lighter, usb C...I'm good.

 

[ddrulez]

I really don’t want a bigger screen. I bought a 15 pro to replace my 13 pro max.
And after holding the 15 pro and used it a bit I’m glad I bought the pro.

 

[applesith]

I am holding on to my 13 Pro for another year. I look forward to the slightly larger next year. I do not want the Pro Max size, so something in between would be perfect.

 

[lobbyist]

Crazy how the camera has become the main feature by which a phone is judged.
