The iPhone 16 arrives with many new features, but these promising and rumored features ultimately did not arrive
iPhones are probably the most rumored devices. Every year, we hear a lot of information in advance that reveals new things to us. We already know a lot about the iPhone 17 even though we still have a year to see them. However, these leaks are not always accurate, and we just have to look at them. iPhone 16 Rumors Failed. Some were very interesting.
“Super-telephoto” camera
The iPhone 16 Pro’s cameras have improved, mainly the ultra-wide angle sensor, which was the one that needed it the most. However, the changes in the telephoto sensor are minimalwe simply have a zoom increase on the Pro model to match the Max.
Rumor had it that the telephoto sensor could have a spectacular optical zoom, greater than 5x zoom that we see in the current iPhone 16 Pro But it seems that will have to wait until next year, since this sensor could reach 48 megapixels.
Static buttons
This is a rumor that appeared a long time ago. First It was thought that they would reach the iPhone 15 and then the iPhone 16But another year has not been accomplished. The iPhone 15 Pro was rumored to replace the side buttons with solid-state haptic touch buttons, but that didn’t happen. We have a new button, Camera Control, but it’s not what we expected.
polished titanium
This was undoubtedly the strangest rumor we’ve heard about the iPhone 16, so we’re not surprised it didn’t come true. It was leaked that the iPhone 16 Pro’s side bezels could shine againlike the ones we had before titanium came along, with stainless steel frames.
The iPhone 16 Pro still has a matte finish
Brighter screen
Yet another iPhone 16 rumor that didn’t come true. This rumor said that the iPhone 16 Pro would have a significantly brighter screen, we were talking about it Brightness approximately 20% higher. Which ultimately didn’t happen, since the iPhone 16 Pro has a display with a maximum of 1,000 nits (typical), a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits (HDR), and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits outdoors. Of course, the minimum brightness is only 1 nit.
256 GB and 2 TB
Another rumor claimed that iPhone 16 Pro reportedly coming in different storage options. Specifically, it was rumored that the iPhone 16 Pro would also start at 256GB, like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, in addition to having an additional 2TB option. But none of that came to fruition, since the iPhone 16’s storage options are the same as the iPhone 15’s.
More expensive prices
A rumor that fortunately did not come true. The rumor said that the iPhone 16 was going to be the most expensive iPhone in history, but another year Apple has kept its prices constantsomething that users greatly appreciate.
These are the Top iPhone 16 Rumors That Didn’t Come True. Of course, there are also many other rumors that have finally become reality, such as the new colors, the improvements of the cameras or the increase in the size of the screens of the iPhone 16 Pro. Something that we have known for months.
