The report from Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a new battery with increased energy density, potentially leading to longer battery life4. The battery will also have a stainless steel casing, which will provide better protection for the battery and the iPhone system. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to have a 5x zoom equivalent on both the Pro and Pro Max models, providing photographic uniformity.
The major difference between iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is the camera system. The iPhone 15 Pro Max features a more advanced camera system, including a 5x optical zoom telephoto lens, compared to the iPhone 15 Pro's 3x optical zoom telephoto lens. Additionally, the Pro Max has a larger 6.7-inch display and a bigger battery, offering longer battery life compared to the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro.
Yes, both iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to feature a 5x zoom lens, according to multiple reports. This would bring photographic uniformity to the Pro models, as currently, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max has the 5x zoom lens. The expansion of periscope lens production and the addition of a new supplier, Genius Electronic Optical, further support this rumor.
