3. iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max
The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to get an increase in size. Its display is going to expand to 6.3 inches from 6.1 inches, among other important upgrades. The iPhone 16 Pro Max can also find an increase in screen size, making it more convenient to take photos from a distance.
4. DSLR-style shutter button
The iPhone 16 series is getting a touch-sensitive DSLR-style shutter button. You just need to lightly press the button to focus and push harder to click a photo. The upgrade is going to bring you the convenient feel of using a professional camera.
5. Storage options and price increases
You can expect a slight price hike due to increasing component costs. But the extra storage could soften the hit. Prices for iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models at 128 GB can start at $799 and $899 – and it could be $1,099 and $1,199 for iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max at 256 GB.
