The upgrade points of the iPhone 16 series not only cover the general configuration improvements, but also include several major updates and improvements. Here's a closer look at how the iPhone 16 series phones differ compared to the previous generation:
Camera innovations
New Capture Button: All iPhone 16 models have a new dedicated camera button below the power button, which is designed to speed up shooting and provide a more reliable photography experience. The button is a capacitive button that senses pressure, enables half-press to focus, press to take a photo, and may even support adjusting the focal length.
Changes to camera module layout: The standard iPhone 16 will have a change in camera module layout, which may affect the user's experience when taking photos and the device's exterior design.
Display optimization
Screen size and bezel design: The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models will feature larger display sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, while the standard and Plus variants will remain the same at 6.1 and 6.7 inches, respectively. The screen bezels are expected to be narrower, giving users a wider visual experience.
High refresh rate screen: Unlike the previous standard 60Hz display, the iPhone 16 series may come standard with a high brush screen, which is likely to support 120HZ.
Improvements in battery and charging performance
Battery capacity adjustments: The battery capacity of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to increase, while the capacity of the iPhone 16 Plus may decrease. However, Apple may adopt stacked battery technology to increase energy density, which will extend the life of the entire product line.
Fast charging: The Pro and Pro Max models are expected to charge faster, which will balance out and improve the problem of increased charging time due to increased battery capacity.
An all-round improvement in performance
Processor and memory: The iPhone 16 series is expected to be equipped with an A18 chip, which is manufactured using TSMC's N3E process, with a slight improvement in performance and energy efficiency. At the same time, all models will come standard with 8GB of RAM to cope with the high memory requirements brought about by the newly introduced Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.
The upgrade of intelligent experience
Siri and the operating system: With the development of Apple Intelligence, the iPhone 16 series will bring a more intelligent experience. iOS 18 will introduce a series of new features, and Siri will also usher in a new upgrade to provide more accurate and convenient services.
In addition, here are some suggestions for users who want to buy a new phone:
If you're serious about photography, the iPhone 16 Pro series with the new IMX903 high-pixel main camera, a 1/1.14-inch sensor area, and 5x optical zoom support might be the right choice.
If you're looking for a phone with a longer battery life, consider the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which have an increased battery capacity.
For those who are looking for extreme performance and the latest technology, the iPhone 16 series with the A18 chip and 8GB of RAM will meet your needs.
