The 2024 iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max

In September 2024, Apple will introduce the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which will be sold alongside the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The "Pro" models are the more expensive devices in Apple's flagship lineup and are typically the first flagship iPhones to get new designs and features.

We're a few months away from the debut of the 2024 iPhones, but as is typical, leakers, analysts, and others with insider information are already sharing details on the new devices.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will increase in size, and this will be the first size update we've had in several years. The iPhone 16 Pro will measure in at 6.3 inches (up from 6.1), while the Pro Max will measure in at 6.9 inches (up from 6.7). The standard iPhone 16 models will not change in size. Aside from a tweak to the size, we are not expecting major design changes to the iPhone 16 models.

Apple is designing new A-series chips for the iPhone 16 Pro models, built on the latest N3E 3-nanometer node. We could see some improvements to efficiency and performance, but we haven't yet heard details on just what we can expect. The Action Button that was initially limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be coming to all four iPhone 16 models, and there's also rumored to be an extra "Capture" button for taking photos and videos.

iPhone 15 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro: 25+ Rumored Upgrades Compared.

This roundup includes pre-release rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro models, and there is still time for Apple to change its plans, so information here may shift as Apple updates the design of the upcoming iPhone models.

Note that this roundup focuses on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. For an overview of all iPhone 16 models, including the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, we have a separate roundup.

Size Updates and Design Changes

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have larger display sizes, according to multiple sources. The iPhone 16 Pro will have a display that's 6.27 inches in size (rounded to 6.3), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to have a display that's 6.85 inches in size (rounded to 6.9).

With the larger display size, the dimensions of the iPhone's body will also increase. Both models are expected to be taller and wider than the iPhone 15 Pro models, and while thickness will remain the same, the weight will increase slightly due to the larger size.
iPhone 16 Pro
iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 15 Pro
Thickness 8.25 mm 8.25 mm
Height 149.6 mm 146.6 mm
Width 71.45 mm 70.60 mm
Display 6.3" (159.31 mm) 6.1" (155.38 mm)
Screen Border 1.2 mm 1.71 mm
Weight 194 grams 187 grams

iPhone 16 Pro Max

iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 15 Pro Max
Thickness 8.26 mm 8.25 mm
Height 163.0 mm 159.9 mm
Width 77.58 mm 76.70 mm
Display 6.9" (174.06 mm) 6.7" (169.98 mm)
Screen Border 1.15 mm 1.55 mm
Weight 225 grams 221 grams

Apple could use the dual-ion exchange glass process that it used for the iPhone 15 models for both the iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 16 Pro models. This process gives the rear glass a frosted effect that contrasts with the main frame color.

Dummy Models

Prior to the launch of new iPhone models, case makers source the leaked dimensions and specifications of the upcoming devices from Apple suppliers. The information is used to make dummy models for creating cases, and because there's a lot of money involved in being the first to come out with a case for a new device, dummy models are often accurate representations of what we can expect to see from new iPhones.

iPhone 16 dummy models leaked in April give a clear look at the size differences that we can expect from the iPhone 16 lineup. The Pro models are a bit taller and wider, and the standard iPhone 16 models have a redesigned camera cutout that's vertical instead of diagonal for the two-lens camera system of those iPhones.

There are few changes to the exterior camera design of the iPhone 16 Pro models, with Apple continuing to use a square camera bump that houses the three lenses.

The side left of the dummy models shows the Action Button across all four models, which is in line with rumors. The right side highlights the new Capture Button, which is flush with the side of the device rather than protruding like the volume and power buttons.

Comparison images featuring a dummy model next to an iPhone 15 Pro Max demonstrate just how much bigger the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

MagSafe

The MagSafe alignment magnets in the iPhone 16 models may be slimmer than before, cutting down on the size of the magnetic ring required for MagSafe-compatible cases.

Colors and Finish

The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to come in black, white or silver, gray or "Natural Titanium," and rose, a shade of gold. While some rumors have referred to the color as a rose gold, another rumor suggests that it will be a bronze shade, and a third has called it a dark gold. It's possible all of the rumors are correct, as gold can look different in different lighting conditions. One source has also claimed that the color is called "desert titanium," but it is not clear if that is accurate.

Dummy models depicting the four color options surfaced in August. It is worth noting that the colors may look different depending on lighting, so this may not be an entirely accurate representation of what we can expect.

Another rumor suggests that Apple plans to use an improved process for finishing and coloring titanium, which will result in a glossier look than the brushed aluminum finish of the iPhone 15 Pro models. The glossy finish could look much more like the stainless steel that Apple used in prior years, but it will be more resistant to scratches.

Display Technology

The iPhone 16 Pro models may be the first to use Samsung's high performance M14 OLED panel, which is designed to provide superior brightness and longevity. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro models will have up to 1,200 nits of typical SDR brightness, up 20 percent over current models, and Samsung's new display technology may be the reason why.

We've also heard rumors that the iPhone 16 models are expected to adopt new micro-lens OLED display technology for improved power brightness and reduced power consumption, which could bring an improvement in battery life, but it is not clear if this is a feature that is provided by the M14 panel from Samsung.

Apple is using Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology for the iPhone 16 Pro models, which is expected to result in slimmer bezel sizes. BRS allows for a more compact and efficient layout of the circuitry under the display, allowing for thinner bezels without impacting display performance.

Leaker "UniverseIce" claims that the iPhone 16 Pro will have the thinnest bezels of any smartphone, including the Samsung Galaxy S24. The 16 Pro is expected to have 1.2mm bezels, while the 16 Pro Max is expected to have 1.15mm bezels, an improvement over the 1.71/1.55mm bezels of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

There could be some minor tweaks to the Face ID system in the iPhone 16 models, but it is not clear what might be different. An Apple supplier in England reportedly lost a supply deal with Apple because Apple has plans to "overhaul" Face ID with the launch of the iPhone 16.
Buttons

The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to have the same power, volume, and Action buttons as the iPhone 15 Pro models, with no design changes or updates. Apple is planning to add a new button, though, the "Capture Button."

The Capture Button will be located on the same side of the iPhone as the Power button, in the space that is occupied by the 5G mmWave antenna in the United States.

With the addition of this button, the mmWave cutout will be relocated to the left side of the device, below the volume buttons. Like the rest of the iPhone 16 Pro buttons, the Capture Button will be mechanical rather than capacitive, but it will be able to respond to pressure and touch. There are several new capabilities:

Lightly press on the button to autofocus while capturing an image or video.
Press harder on the button to take a photo.
Swipe left and right on the button to zoom in and out.
There may also be a gesture for switching between photo mode and video mode, similar to how you can capture a video with a press and swipe in the iPhone camera app.
The Capture Button will be available on all four iPhone 16 models, and it will be used for taking photos and videos.

The upcoming button changes can be seen in CAD renders, with an added Capture Button on the right side of the device, which is flush with the side. The Action button is depicted as slightly larger, but it is not clear if that is a design option that Apple will stick with. https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-16-pro/source Macrumors has done this report in collaboration with ChatGPT
