According to supply chain sources cited by a Naver user named "yeux1122," the iPhone 16 Pro is rumored to have several notable upgrades. The device is said to feature a larger display, increasing from 6.1 to 6.3 inches. This size increase, along with internal changes, will allow for enhanced optical zoom capabilities, possibly due to the inclusion of the tetraprism 5x telephoto camera introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year.
The post also mentions that while the size increase in the iPhone 16 Pro will be minimal compared to the current model, it will still have slightly larger bezels compared to Samsung's Galaxy S24. Additionally, the device is expected to have a battery of similar or larger size. Interestingly, a previous report on the next-generation iPhones' battery capacities did not include details about the iPhone 16 Pro, but the Naver user suggests that many of its components will benefit from improved power consumption.
It is worth noting that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to offer the longest-ever battery life in an iPhone. The current iPhone 15 Pro Max boasts a 29-hour battery life, and there are speculations that the iPhone 16 Pro Max could surpass the 30-hour mark for the first time. While the reported increase in battery capacity is only 5%, other efficiency improvements could contribute to the device's overall battery performance.
The Naver post also mentions that the iPhone 16 Pro models will likely continue to have 8GB of memory. Additionally, Apple has apparently enhanced the manufacturing process of the device's titanium frame, resulting in cost reductions. The official announcement of the iPhone 16 lineup is anticipated to take place in the fall.
In conclusion, the Naver user's post supports existing rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro, highlighting its larger display, improved optical zoom capabilities, potential increase in battery life, and memory specifications.
