We know a lot about the iPhone 16 from rumors and that’s why we compared it to the current iPhone 15 to see what new features are possible
Although there are still many months left to see the iPhone 16, the truth is that we already know a lot about them thanks to rumors. Even if Apple makes efforts, It’s really hard to keep all the news they’re cooking a secret and leaks have been quite common for many years.
This means that almost every year we know about many new features that Apple is going to introduce to the iPhone long before it does. And for this reason we can now make a comparison of the new features between the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16. We already have a lot of information.

Design change
The main design change we will apparently see in the iPhone 16, excluding the iPhone 15, will be in the rear camera module. Apple will leave aside its classic square module to place the two cameras in a vertical position, the same way we had it in the iPhone X.
It means that The front of the iPhone 16 will be virtually identical to that of the iPhone 15, with the same size and the same materials. Although in the alternative frameworks we will have two important additions.
iPhone 16 will change the rear camera design
In the left frame, we expect that Apple replaces mute switch with action button which was created on the iPhone 15 Pro, all iPhones will now use it.
And in the right frame, in the lower area, rumors indicate that We will have a new button called “capture button”. This would be a button designed for taking photos and it looks like it will suddenly be present on both the regular iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro.
Power Upgrade
The iPhone 16 could improve significantly in terms of power, as it would leapfrog two generations of Apple processors at once. We say that Apple could include variants of the A18 chip in all iPhone 16 modelsit will therefore move from the A16 Bionic chip of the iPhone 15 to the A18.

He The reason for this big leap would be Artificial Intelligence. The A18 chip would have a new neural engine that would be capable of performing all the AI functions that would be exclusive to the iPhone 16.
To this we must add that Apple could increase the RAM memory of its basic iPhone, going from the 6 GB that we have in the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus to 8 GB on the iPhone 16.
Cameras
The cameras of The iPhone 16 will change position and maybe we can see an improvement in the ultra wide angle sensor. According to some rumors, Apple is preparing a major increase the resolution of this sensorbut we don’t know if it will be something exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro.
The change of position has its meaning and so iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be able to record spatial videos like the iPhone 15 Pro. For this, the position of the cameras is essential.
iPhone 16 could bring new features to rear cameras
Screen
It doesn’t look like we’re going to see many changes to the iPhone 16 screen, Apple will keep the screen sizes 6.1 and 6.7 inches in the 2024 models, although it is true that we could see improvements in the brightness level. This is to some extent a disappointment, since the only weak point of the iPhone 15 is its screen, not because of the quality, but rather because of its refresh rate of just 60 Hz instead of the 120 Hz of the iPhone Pro.
Other possible changes
In addition to these new features, the iPhone 16 should include other improvements:
- Battery improvement. The iPhone 16 is rumored to have a 3,561mAh battery, a 6% increase over. the 3,349 mAh battery of the iPhone 15.
- Artificial Intelligence Features. iOS 18 will come with AI features and it looks like some of them will be exclusive to the iPhone 16.
- Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. Wi-Fi connection will be improved compared to the current generation, which supports Wi-Fi 6.
- New colors. Apple changes colors with each generation and the iPhone 16 is expected to arrive in new tones currently unknown.
