We’re just over a month away from the new iPhone 16 models and as usual, Mark Gurman tells us what they’ll be The main features of the new Apple phones. As expected, there will be no major changes, although there will be some interesting developments.
Since the iPhone 12 in 2020, Apple hasn’t made any major design changes to its smartphone. There have been small changes generation after generation that have varied small elements of the iPhone, so if we compare the 2020 phones to those of 2023, there are quite a few differences, but not radical changes. And that will continue to be the case this year with the new iPhone 16 lineup, which will consist of four phones (iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max) that will have almost identical designs to their predecessors. What will be the main changes?
- The main novelty will be Apple Informationthe artificial intelligence system that Apple announced at the last WWDC 2024 and that will also work on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. In the case of the iPhone 16, it will be included in all four models launched.
- The “non-Pro” models of the iPhone 16 will include the action button which debuted exclusively on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max last year. With improvements to Control Center and its greater customization capabilities added to the ability to change shortcuts on the Lock screen, the action button is becoming less and less relevant, but it never hurts.
- There will be a new dedicated camera button located on the right side of the phone. It will likely be exclusive to the Pro models and will be used to control the iPhone’s camera in the same way as a regular camera: lightly press to focus, harder to film. It will also let you control zoom using back and forth swipe gestures.
- The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have a slight increase in screen size, going from 6.1 inches on the 15 Pro to 6.3 inches on the 16 Pro, and from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches in the case of the Pro Max.
- There will be changes in the colors of the new iPhones, as every year. The Pro model will lose the blue color, and will return to the rose gold color a few years ago, a real bestseller.
- All models launched this year They will have 8 GB of RAMthe same as the 15 Pro Max now has. This is the minimum amount required to use Apple Intelligence.
