One of the most intriguing rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is the increase in screen size. iPhone 16 Pro is expected to have a 6.3-inch screen, larger than the 6.1-inch size of the iPhone 15 Pro. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will move from a 6.7-inch screen to a 6.9-inch screen.

However, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will not change in size and their screens will not get larger. A larger screen with the same design is always a commendable plus point of the iPhone for users.

After launching the Action button on the iPhone 15 series, Apple will add a Shutter button to iPhone 16 models. It is expected that iPhone 16 models will all have a new capacitive Shutter button, placed on the right edge of the phone, below power button. This button will allow users to quickly access the camera from anywhere, zoom with a swipe, and take photos or videos with just a tap.

This camera will have a smaller size but larger sensor, improving performance in low light conditions and enhancing overall image quality.
In addition, the standard iPhone 16 pair will have a vertically arranged rear camera, changing the traditional alignment.
On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro will inherit the telephoto camera from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, providing 5X optical zoom, superior to the 3X telephoto zoom lens on previous iPhone Pro models.

iOS 18 will bring many groundbreaking AI features. Siri will be heavily enhanced, with AI-powered photo and video capabilities, along with smart suggestions and contextual image recognition. Apple is expected to launch iOS 18 this June, with a big focus on AI.
Most AI features in iOS 18 will be handled in the cloud and available for all eligible iPhones (iPhone Xs and later). However, only the iPhone 16 series can take full advantage of more powerful AI tasks.
