iPhone 16 Pro Display Tipped to Offer 20 Percent Increase in Brightness Compared to iPhone 15 Pro

iPhone 16 Pro is expected to arrive later this year as the successor to the iPhone 15 Pro and the company’s next-generation smartphones could feature an upgraded display, according to a tipster. While Apple’s Pro handsets can go up to 1,000 nits of brightness, the purported iPhone 16 Pro models could offer a 20 percent increase in brightness for standard dynamic range (SDR) content, along with slightly larger panels. The smartphones are also tipped to arrive with an upgraded chip and a new ‘Capture’ button later this year.

Tipster Instant Digital (translated from Chinese) claims in a Weibo post that the iPhone 16 Pro will support up to 1,200 nits of typical brightness, when the handset is displaying SDR content. This is a 20 percent increase over the 1,000 nits limit on the iPhone 15 Pro models. Meanwhile, the tipster says that the peak brightness for HDR content will be 1,600 nits, which means that customers should not expect any changes over the current generation handsets.

The increase in brightness isn’t the only display-related change coming to the iPhone 16 Pro models — Apple is likely to increase the size of the display panels on both Pro handsets, according to reports. The purported iPhone 16 Pro‌‌ and iPhone 16 Pro‌‌ Max models are said to be equipped with 6.27-inch (159.31 mm) and 6.85-inch (174.06 mm) displays, respectively.

Last month, it was reported that the iPhone 16 an iPhone 16 Pro models could make their debut later this year with larger batteries. However, the iPhone 16 Plus model could arrive with a smaller battery than the current generation iPhone 15 Plus, according to a tipster.

Other upgrades likely to arrive on the iPhone 16 Pro models include a faster A18 chip, which is also expected to power on-device generative AI features on the company’s iOS 18 mobile operating system. This year, Apple is also tipped to introduce a new ‘Capture’ button on the iPhone 16 series that will allow users to quickly take photos with a tap, according to reports.

iPhone 16 Pro Colour Options Tipped; Leaked Case Hints at Location of Capture Button

iPhone 16 Pro could arrive in four colourways when the handset makes its debut in the second half of 2024, and the company could replace two colour options introduced last year. Apple started using titanium instead of stainless steel for the body of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in four colour options. Meanwhile, a leaked image of what appears to be an iPhone 16 Pro case gives us an idea of where the new Capture button will be located on the smartphone.

According to details leaked by a tipster (in Chinese) via a Weibo post, the iPhone 16 Pro will arrive in Gray, Rose, Space Black, and White, colourways. While the gray and white colours appear to be the same as the options from the iPhone 15 Pro models, it looks like the black and blue colour options will be replaced with space black and rose colours, respectively.

Meanwhile, an image of a case for the purported iPhone 16 Pro leaked by X (formerly Twitter) user Sonny Dickson (via GSMArena) appears to indicate where Apple’s rumoured capture button could be located on the handset. After introducing the programmable Action button with the iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple is tipped to introduce a new button that could be used to quickly launch the camera and capture images or video, according to recent reports.

The leaked image suggests that the capture button could be located on the right side of the phone, under the power button — this is in line with leaked renders of the Pro models that surfaced online earlier this month. One can also see that the case covers the power button, while the location of the rumoured capture button is exposed. It is worth taking these claims with a grain of salt as the cutout could also be used to house other components such as an mmWave 5G antenna.

Expected to debut as part of the iPhone 16 series of smartphones later this year, the iPhone 16 Pro is said to be powered by an 3nm A18 Pro chip, with improved neural engine performance, while the top-of-the-line model is expected to pack a larger battery. The upgraded chip is tipped to enable support for more on-device AI features on the iPhone 16 Pro models, according to recent reports.

iPhone 16 Pro Leaked Renders Suggest New Design With Capture Button

iPhone 16 Pro is expected to be unveiled later this year in September. Previous leaks and reports about the handset have suggested several key specifications and some design changes. A new report has now surfaced that shares leaked CAD renders of the iPhone 16 Pro. The renders suggest the possible design of the handset. The upcoming iPhone 16 lineup is likely to include the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. They are said to succeed the iPhone 15 series of smartphones that Apple introduced in September 2023.

Leaked CAD renders of the iPhone 16 Pro shared by 91Mobiles show a new button on the right edge of the handset, placed below the power button. It is said to be the Capture Button that will have capacitive touch and act as a photo or video capture trigger. The button may also help users adjust focus and zoom levels. 

The report also claims that the Action Button on the iPhone 16 Pro could be larger than the one on the preceding iPhone 15 Pro. The report adds that the handset is likely to measure 149.6mm x 71.4mm x 8.4mm in size, which is larger than the older model. It is also tipped to get a 6.3-inch display with thinner bezels. 

Moreover, the rear camera module of the iPhone 16 Pro is said to share a similar design as the iPhone 15 Pro. In the leaked renders, the module is seen housing three camera sensors, a LiDAR module, a microphone, and a flash unit. It is also expected to feature a 5x tetraprism telephoto camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The phone is also tipped to carry a larger 3,355mAh battery.

Recently, the iPhone 16 Pro has also been tipped to launch in Desert Titanium and Titanium Grey colours. The former shade is said to be similar to the gold colour option in the iPhone 14 Pro models, while the latter is likely to resemble the Space Grey option that was available with iPhone 6.

iPhone 16 Pro Models to Get New Ultrawide Camera, Snapdragon X75 Modem, Wi-Fi 7: Report

Apple’s iPhone 15 series is still brand new in the market, but rumours have already begun about next year’s iPhone 16 lineup. Despite the phone being a year away from release, a new report suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will come with a 0.2-inch larger display compared to the iPhone 15 Pro models. They could pack Qualcomm’s latest cellular modem for improved 5G performance. Apple is said to retain the Snapdragon X70 modem in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. Further, the Pro models are said to offer Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and might get a new ultra-wide lens on the rear.

As per a report by 9to5Mac citing tech analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models launching in 2024 will feature around 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display sizes, respectively. If this rumour turns out to be true, it would be a major screen size upgrade over the outgoing iPhone 15 models. Pu affirms they will pack Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X75 cellular modem to enable faster and more efficient 5G connectivity.

The analyst states that the regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will continue to use the Snapdragon X70 modem. The latest iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max all feature a Snapdragon X70 modem inside. Similarly, the iPhone 16 Pro model will reportedly offer Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, while the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are said to get an upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E. This year’s Pro models have Wi-Fi 6E support.

Further, Jeff Pu adds that both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models will have a 12-megapixel tetra-prism lens for better zoom. The Pro lineup is said to include a newer ultra-wide lens as well. Apple will pack a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the Pro models, adds Pu. This would be a noteworthy upgrade over the iPhone 15 Pro’s 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

According to Pu, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be powered by an A18 Pro Bionic chip based on a 3nm process, while the normal iPhone 16 models will get a toned-down version of the A17 Pro chip. For the regular iPhone 16, Pu notes that Apple will pack two rear camera sensors without optical zoom.

The speculation from Jeff Pu is in line with past reports. DSCC analyst Ross Young earlier in May also opined that iPhone 16 Pro models will get a screen size update.

Apple’s iPhone 15 series was launched during its Wonderlust event last month. The iPhone 15 Pro starts at Rs. 1,39,900 for the base 128GB storage model in India, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max begins at Rs. 1,59,900. They are currently up for sale in the country.

iPhone 16 Pro Expected to Feature Apple’s ‘Tetraprism’ Zoom Lens from iPhone 15 Pro Max: Ming-Chi Kuo

iPhone 16 Pro could be equipped with an important camera upgrade that was only reserved for Apple’s top-of-the-line model this year, according to TF Securities International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. While Apple equipped the iPhone 15 Pro Max with an improved periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom support, the smaller Pro model features a standard zoom lens with 3x optical zoom that is similar to its predecessor. The analyst previously claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is facing production challenges amid ‘robust demand’.

Kuo predicts in a new Medium blog post that the purported iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to be equipped with Apple’s new “tetraprism” telephoto zoom lens, unlike the iPhone 15 lineup, which only offers one model — the iPhone 15 Pro Max — with the upgraded telephoto lens that offers up to 5x optical zoom and a focal length of 120mm. 

During the company’s ‘Wonderlust’ launch event on September 12, Apple stated that the 120mm tetraprism lens design would reflect light rays four times inside a glass structure created inside the body of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple managed to create the longer focal length by bringing enough separation between the camera’s sensor and the lens and allowing the light to travel for longer before it is captured.

However, it is worth noting that Apple is also reportedly planning to replace its “Pro Max” model with a new “Ultra” model, which suggests that the improved telephoto camera could be a hardware feature limited to the top-of-the-line model in order to differentiate between the Pro and Pro Max/ Ultra model. This year, Apple increased the price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max by $100 (roughly Rs. 8,300) compared to its predecessor.   

Given Apple’s efforts at maintaining secrecy surrounding the development of its products, it could be a while before we learn more about the details of the camera specifications of the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple only confirms specifications of its upcoming products at its launch events and the successors to the iPhone 15 series aren’t expected to arrive for another year.

Kuo recently stated that the iPhone 15 Pro Max was facing production challenges amid “robust demand” for Apple’s most expensive smartphone. In his latest Medium post, Kuo states that the “most significant supply bottleneck” for the flagship phone is the tetraprism compact camera module (CCM). According to Kuo, the company raised its specifications to address CCM yield issues. iPhone 15 Pro Max deliveries in the US and other regions have been pushed to November, thanks to increased demand for Apple’s high-end smartphone.
