New iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro design features to expect
- Larger, 6.9″ iPhone 16 Pro Max display diagonal
- Larger, 6.3″ iPhone 16 Pro display diagonal
- Vertical camera arrangement on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus
- Capacitive Action Button on the iPhone 16 Pro line
- Capacitive Capture Button on all iPhone 16 series models
From Action Button to Capture Button: Apple’s buttonless design takes shape in iPhone 16
The insiders warn that these developments are still in the prototype stage and Apple has a plan B to fall back to if the hardware of the new capacitive Capture and Action keys doesn’t perform up to its desired specs and ergonomics yet again.
Larger iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max displays
As Apple’s Tetraprism 5x optical zoom camera kit is rumored to land in the iPhone 16 Pro next year, Apple will need more space inside the 6.1-incher to fit the bigger module. It has reportedly solved this conundrum in a simple way, increasing the iPhone 16 Pro’s screen diagonal to 6.3 inches from the current 6.1-inch panel.
This, however, would’ve left a smaller display size difference between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max and its most expensive iPhone wouldn’t have the optical zoom exclusivity its predecessor enjoys now to boot. How may Apple solve this challenge? Why, increase the iPhone 16 Pro Max display to 6.9 inches, of course, and keep the size difference intact.
