The iPhone 16 is quite a wait, almost a year from now. But, sneak peeks about the next-gen iPhones are already trickling in. The buzz is that the iPhone 16 series will bring larger screens, sleeker designs, better cameras, a new brain (chipset), and more. Here’s the lowdown on what the leaks suggest so far about the 2024 iPhones.

Display
Word on the street is the iPhone 16 Pro might flaunt a big 6.3-inch screen, while its fancier sibling, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, could go even bigger with a 6.9-inch display. But, if you’re hoping for a size boost in the regular iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, sorry to say, they’re likely sticking to the same screen sizes as the current ones namely, 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches.
There’s talk about the next iPhones switching to a new kind of screen from Samsung. They might use OLED stuff and might change a blue flashy thing to a blue power-saving thing. Some folks also think they’ll bring in a new Micro LED display for brighter colors while using less power.
Design
If the leaks are right, the iPhones coming next year might have fancy buttons called “Capture buttons” in the iPhone 16 Pro. These aren’t your regular pushy buttons; they’re touchy-feely ones that can feel how hard you press and give a little buzz, like the Home button in the iPhone SE series.
Chipset Camera
People are saying the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max could get a snazzy “tetra-prism” camera. This could mean you can zoom in better, from 3 times closer to 5 times. And there’s a hint about a whopping 48-megapixel camera for super-wide shots in the iPhone 16 Pro series, especially good in low light. Apple might also tinker with how the camera works in the Pro models, aiming to take in more light and make nighttime photos way cooler.
