The following are detailed rumors about the iPhone 16 Series which will be released this year.

There is news that the iPhone 16 series will also have this button. So, it allows you to use it.

Meanwhile, on the right side there will be a new Capture button. The design of the Capture button itself is still similar to the iPhone 15 Series.

The pill-shaped protrusion will accommodate the Wide and Ultrawide lenses. Meanwhile, the flash will be outside the protrusion.

Screen

Reportedly, the iPhone 16 Pro screen will be larger at 6.3 inches. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro Max measures 6.9 inches.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Standard and Plus will remain 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, making them very suitable for users who like minimalist smartphones.

The 60Hz refresh rate on the iPhone 15 series will also be present in the 16th series, of course this is still inferior to Androids which has reached a refresh rate of up to 90Hz for faster screen scrolling.

Camera

The iPhone 16 Series camera is reportedly still the same as the iPhone 15 Series which uses a 48MP main camera, then a 12MP ultrawide camera, 24MP selfie camera and Telephoto (Pro version).
