Information on Apple’s future iPhone 16 slowed down this week compared to the eclipse suffered by the new iPads and the new M4 chip for the iPad Pro, in addition to the presentation of the new Apple Pencil Pro. However, even though in view of WWDC24 next June, the iPhone 16 is still on everyone’s lips and. the rumor makers, even knowing that we will not have an official presentation until September. New information about iPhone 16 Pro they emphasize that The screen will be 20% brighter than its predecessor the iPhone 15 Pro, reaching 1200 nits.
iPhone 16 Pro: 20% brighter screen than the previous generation
The design of the next iPhone 16 is starting to be less on everyone’s lips as the rumors agree, so the important thing in the coming months is to try to have the hardware specifications that will change between the models, and that is what will differentiate some devices from others. A few hours ago, well-known user Instant Digital (via Weibo) leaked new information on the screen of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

Apparently the new iPhone 16 Pro screen will have new technology Which will allow increase brightness up to 20% compared to iPhone 15 Pro. Therefore, SDR (standard dynamic range) would remain at 1,200 nits of brightness (1,000 nits on the iPhone 15 Pro), maintaining 1,600 nits in HDR (high dynamic range). Normally, users use iPhone in SDR mode, so 20% increase will improve the screen quality and users will notice it clearly.
In terms of brightness, the main difference between SDR and HDR is the number of brightness levels they can display. SDR generally has a limited brightness range, typically going up to around 100-300 nits. In contrast, HDR can display a much wider range, going from 1,000 to 4,000 nits, or even higher on some high-end displays. This means that the brightest parts of an image in HDR can be significantly more vivid and realistic than in SDR.
We have had several generations of iPhone where the level of brightness achieved in SDR is the same and only Apple has placed particular emphasis on increasing HDR brightness in the iPhone 14 Pro, so it is likely that The iPhone 16 Pro screen is evolving and is a key element during the presentation of the new device’s hardware.
