iPhone 16 specifications highlights
1. Solid key button
Apple originally planned to use solid-state volume, power and mute button designs to replace the physical buttons for the iPhone 15 Pro series. However, due to production technical problems, Apple ultimately canceled it before mass production, and it will be postponed to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. Solid key designs will be imported.
Apple will use tactile feedback to simulate the feeling of pressing a traditional button, and will definitely change the design of the iPhone's traditional volume buttons. The two volume buttons will be replaced by solid buttons, which will eventually be fixed to a single button.
2. Capacitive shooting button
The iPhone 16 series will add an additional capacitive button. The internal code name is Project Nova, which is called the "shooting button". The location will be designed at the 5G millimeter wave position. It is not clear what functions it can achieve. Mechanical buttons can be pressed, just like the fingerprint recognition keys on the iPhone SE, and can simulate physical buttons through the built-in Taptic Engine vibration feedback.
3. USB-C charging hole
Apple will also fully adopt USB-C charging hole design for the iPhone 15 series in 2023, and the iPhone 16 series models will also use the same USB-C technology.
4. Under-screen Face ID facial recognition technology
There is also news that Apple will adopt under-screen Face ID facial recognition technology for the iPhone 16 Pro series as soon as 2024. It will also reduce the size of the dynamic island parts and make the front lens hole smaller. (There is currently no further news, so we remain skeptical about this specification.)
5. Periscope telephoto lens design
Apple was the first to equip the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a periscope lens with 5x optical zoom. The technology will sometimes be expanded to the next generation flagship iPhone Pro series models, but Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the periscope lens will still be limited to the iPhone 16 in 2023. Pro Max will not be transferred to the iPhone 16 Pro model.
6. Super telephoto lens and Corning glass lens
Reliable sources said that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the first model equipped with a " super telephoto lens ". The focal length of the lens will exceed 300 mm, which will greatly enhance the optical zoom shooting capabilities of the telephoto lens and improve the night shooting effect. At the same time, the iPhone The 16 Pro series of lenses will replace sapphire glass with MG Corning glass lenses, which is expected to perfectly solve the ghosting problem.
7. Equipped with a larger photosensitive element
According to ShrimpApplePro tipster, the iPhone 16 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase the screen size, mainly due to adjustments to be equipped with telephoto periscope lenses.
Due to the iPhone 16 Pro Max (iPhone 16 Ultra), the internal space can accommodate a 1/1.14-inch main lens sensor, which is larger than the 1/1.28-inch sensor equipped in the iPhone 14 Pro series. However, the iPhone 16 Pro cannot be inserted due to insufficient space. The introduction of larger sensors and periscope lenses will make Apple decide to increase the screen and body size of the iPhone 16 Pro series.
8. Double-layer transistor pixel structure
According to reports, the main lens COMS of the iPhone 16 Pro series will also adopt a "double-layer transistor pixel" stacked pixel structure, which can effectively achieve dynamic range under sufficient light conditions. The use of transistor separation can reduce low-light image noise.
Ming-Chi Kuo confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro series cameras will use a different sensor than the basic model, and will use Sony's latest sensor, which also implies that Apple will use a "double-layer transistor pixel" stacked pixel structure for the iPhone 16 Pro series.
Judging from Sony's latest sensor technology video, the iPhone lens can take clearer pictures in low-light environments. Even in harsh outdoor environments, there will be a significant difference in dynamic range shooting, such as when taking sunset photos. , will not make the picture in the sunny area appear overexposed.
9. Equipped with new generation Wi-Fi 7
Apple has applied Wi-Fi 6E technology to a number of Apple models, including iPad Pro, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, Mac Studio, Mac Pro and Mac mini. The iPhone 15 Pro series will also upgrade Wi-Fi 6E.
Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu said that according to the itinerary, the iPhone 16 Pro series will support Wi-Fi 7, which is based on Wi-Fi 6E and can increase the data transmission rate through the 320 MHz channel. However, currently Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) specifications have not yet been finalized and may not be finalized until the end of 2024, and may not be used on the iPhone 16 Pro model.
10. Apple develops its own 5G chip
Apple has been working hard to develop its own 5G modem chips in recent years and may try to use them in some iPhone 16 models. This is mainly because Apple hopes to use its own technology to further reduce its dependence on Qualcomm.
It was also previously reported that Apple will use a self-developed 5G modem chip in one iPhone model, and then expand it to other iPhone devices, and within three years, it will completely transition to not using Qualcomm modem chips. Apple also ultimately hopes to use its own WiFi and Bluetooth chips, possibly replacing Broadcom chips with these components in 2024 or earlier.
iPhone 16 launch date and release date
According to past experience, the new iPhone will be launched at Apple’s autumn new product launch conference in September every year. Of course, the launch date and release time of iPhone 16 will be in September 2024, and the release date of iPhone 16 is expected to be in September 2024 . Held around the 12th.
