The highly anticipated iPhone 16 Pro is still months away from its release, but leaked CAD files have given us a glimpse into the design details of Apple’s upcoming flagship device. Technology website 91mobiles, known for its accurate leaks of Apple products, has shared a new set of iPhone 16 Pro CAD files, shedding light on the hardware upgrades and changes we can expect.
One of the most notable design changes is the increase in size. Following the addition of the Action button to the iPhone 15 Pro last year, Apple seems to be slightly increasing the dimensions of the iPhone 16 Pro. According to the leaked CAD files, the iPhone 16 Pro will measure 149.6×71.4×8.4mm, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro’s dimensions of 146.6x 70.6×8.25mm. Additionally, the screen size is expected to jump from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, providing users with more screen real estate.
Another exciting addition to the iPhone 16 Pro is the rumored Capture button. Positioned on the lower right side of the device, this button is expected to provide easier access to camera controls, freeing up the Action button for other tasks. It is speculated that the Capture button will offer more functionality than a simple shutter button. Additionally, users can look forward to an upgrade in camera capabilities, with the possibility of 4K spatial video capture, surpassing the current 1080p resolution limit on the iPhone 15 Pro.
While the external changes to the iPhone 16 Pro may not be as dramatic as previous iterations, it is important to note that this is still early in the rumor cycle. In previous years, details about various buttons and features were subject to change throughout the summer, so surprises and new information may still emerge.
Aside from the design changes, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to come with several performance upgrades. Faster wifi, upgraded 5G capabilities, and the usual speed bumps in performance from Apple’s chipset are anticipated. Furthermore, given Apple’s focus on artificial intelligence (AI) this year, the next processor is expected to feature an enhanced Neural Engine, which will enhance AI capabilities on the device.
In terms of color options, the iPhone 16 Pro may introduce new finishes. Rumors suggest that users might have the option to choose from yellow and gray finishes, in addition to the existing color sets available for the iPhone 15 Pro.
As we eagerly await the release of the iPhone 16 Pro, these leaked CAD files have provided us with a sneak peek into what we can expect from Apple’s upcoming flagship device. While the design changes may be subtle, the hardware upgrades and improvements in camera capabilities are sure to excite Apple enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to uncover new information about the iPhone 16 Pro.
