Updated August 24 with more information on another big design change: the new cameras expected on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16.
When Apple unveils the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max this fall, and you can read about exactly when that will be here, the handsets will come in new colors.
One of them will be entirely different from the current iPhone 15 Pro range.
“One such addition is the introduction of an all-new Capture button, which is expected to debut across the entire iPhone 16 range.
Apple has tested this button on both the base model iPhone 16 as well as the larger iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max,” AppleInsider says.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will stick with two cameras, according to a separate and extensive report at Apple Insider which covers many aspects of what’s coming.
But the bigger changes will come in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
This fits with a series of other rumors and dummy versions of the iPhone 16 Pro series released recently.
Updated August 24 with additional details about the anticipated new cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16, which is another significant design change.
The phones will have new colors when Apple unveils the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max this autumn—you can read about the precise release date here. Between the current iPhone 15 Pro range, one will be completely different. It’s not the only modification attracting notice; a recent report about design modifications to the cameras is also very prominent.
The much-discussed extra hardware button for taking pictures and videos is one of the new camera’s features. The all-new Capture button, which is anticipated to make its debut across the entire iPhone 16 range, is one such addition. The larger iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, as well as the entry-level iPhone 16, have all undergone testing by Apple, according to AppleInsider.
The release date of the Apple iPhone 16 has been pinpointed by a new report in Forbes.
It should be noted that this report confirms that all iPhone 16 models will have it, contrary to earlier forecasts that suggested it might only be available on the Pro models. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg was one analyst who expressed doubt about this.
The fastest 5G will require a slight redesign, particularly for iPhones intended for the US market that have mmWave connectivity. This is because the new button will be located precisely where the old mmWave panel was. This will now switch to the phone’s opposite side.
Because it’s flush with the frame, the Capture button has a distinctive design. According to the report, “It does not stick out the same way the power or volume buttons do,” which suggests that Apple is naturally trying to keep the phone looking sleek and appealing.
Furthermore, it has more features than just the obvious ones—taking pictures and starting videos are just two examples.
It is also said to be pressure-sensitive. It seems that it will have a feature known as “force-sensing technology,” which enables it to detect various pressure levels. According to theory, this means that a light touch will focus an image, and a strong press will capture the shot.
It’s also believed that because the button is wide, swiping your finger along it to the right or left will provide a convenient new method of zooming in and out of your image.
A comprehensive and independent report at Apple Insider that covers a wide range of upcoming topics claims that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will continue to have two cameras.
There will be no changes to the primary 48-megapixel camera; instead, the 12-megapixel ultra wide camera will have a faster aperture, going from f/2.4 to the wider f/2.2. Additionally, it’s believed that the standard iPhones will support macros.
However, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will see the most significant changes. As previously mentioned, the 5x zoom equivalent on the telephoto lens will be available on both Pro sizes (I’m informed that it’s currently only available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max due to space constraints). The 48-megapixel primary camera will stay the same as it does on the current Pro models.
The addition of a second 48-megapixel sensor is the most notable development. When shooting in full resolution and combining neighboring pixel sites to create better 12-megapixel images, the ultra wide camera on the Pro and Pro Max will switch to this and offer the same capabilities as the main camera.
The highly anticipated Capture Button, which was previously mentioned, comes with all of these updates. which, according to the report, will arrive in every iPhone 16 model. Its capacitive button prevents accidental activation in your pocket, which is an additional advantage.
Let us return to the new shades that the Pro iPhones will be wearing. Majin Bu, a frequent leaker who recently found himself in the spotlight after posting what appeared to be an invitation to the event where the iPhone would be unveiled, has described the four colors in the range. As I mentioned previously, the invitation was a fake, and Majin Bu swiftly cleared things up.
The new range appears comparable, and the gray color is probably a new iteration of natural titanium. And the gold, well, the leak says it will be called Desert Titanium. “The desert titanium color is kind of dark gold, similar to the old purple color, relatively discreet and deep,” Majin Bu writes in a different post. “.
One color in the iPhone 14 Pro lineup, Deep Purple, was sufficiently dark to be unnoticeable. Although the actual color may differ, the new color is believed to be a warm brown. It’s rare that shades that Apple will use exactly match predictions.
However, if the name turns out to be accurate, it provides us with a hint and implies something lighter and more colorful than the rest of the range.
This makes sense considering the other rumors and leaked mockups of the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro series. As usual, just because multiple analysts forecast the same details doesn’t mean it will happen, even though numerical weight can occasionally increase probability.
Along with other reports, the new one suggests that the blue iPhone in the current Pro range will be discontinued and replaced with the new color.
Majin Bu just shared a picture of what appears to be the new color on social media. They speculated, saying, “This image could resemble the new Desert Titanium iPhone 16 Pro, what do you think?” but also offered a small disclaimer, saying, “The image is based on rumors, it is not certain that the official coloring will reflect this 100 percent.”. “.
To add to the earlier post, Majin Bu included images of the four different color options for the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera rings. The rings appear glossy, which may mean a more polished material should be used in place of the 15 Pro series’ brushed titanium.
We’ll know more soon because the iPhones will be available for purchase by this time next month.
