Apple has officially announced the launch of the iPhone 16 series, setting the stage for a special Apple event on September 9. The company is expected to unveil four new models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This series will focus on Apple Intelligence features, which are expected to arrive with the next software update.
A new capture button might be included in the iPhone 16 series, allowing users to quickly shoot photos or record videos directly from the camera app. This button will be a physical capacitive button with support for force-sensitive half-press actions.
As usual, the series will consist of four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, with display sizes increasing to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches for the Pro models. Despite the larger display, the phone sizes remain unchanged, with thinner displays expected. The non-Pro models will keep their sizes and bezels the same, featuring a 60 Hz display refresh rate.
This time, the camera design has changed again, bringing back a layout seen five years ago with two vertical lensesāa 48-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens. However, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models will feature three cameras: a 48-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 5x optical zoom lens.
Battery capacity sees a slight increase across all four models, with the Pro models supporting 40W charging and 20W MagSafe charging, while the non-Pro models support 27W and 15W charging, respectively.
The biggest surprise is the 'Capture' button on all four iPhone 16 models, allowing users to take photos easily without unlocking the phone. Apple is integrating more AI features in line with modern demands, making these devices smarter and more intuitive than ever!
