Every year, we see a lot of leaks before Apple launches its new range of iPhone devices, and this year was no different, as we are at least five months away from the launch of the iPhone 16 series, but the leaks have already given a rough idea of what to expect in terms of features. More details will likely be revealed in the coming weeks or months as we get closer to the launch event.
Apple is yet to confirm the launch date, but the event is likely to be held in September – just like every year, the surprising part is that the prices have already leaked online, but take the details with a pinch of salt because the prices are leaking about 10 times before the event.

iPhone 16 series: leaked design, chipset and display
Apple is expected to make some changes to the design of the iPhone 16 series, and some recent leaks have indicated that the upcoming standard models will feature redesigned rear camera layouts with vertical alignment in the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models.
Reports so far also indicate the addition of a dedicated capture button, and this addition, according to Bloomberg, promises to provide a faster video recording experience, and the button will have support for haptic feedback technology for tactile response. Moreover, it has also been rumored for some time that the action button will be integrated into Standard models, something we only see on the Pro models, and you can expect to see a punch-hole display on all iPhone 16 models, similar to the iPhone 15 series.

Rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models point to larger displays, with the Pro tipped to offer a 6.3-inch display and the Pro Max featuring a larger 6.9-inch display, however, this also raises concerns about the feasibility of one-handed use with these increased dimensions.

It is worth noting that Apple could… Graphene is also incorporated into the Pro models for improved thermal management during intense tasks.

Furthermore, Apple is once again said to be increasing device battery sizes, and the iPhone 16 could have a larger 3,561 mAh battery, while the iPhone 16 Plus may get a 4,006 mAh unit.
